Kalindo then urged Chakwera and Chilima to remove obstacles that may derail the creation of a better Malawi for everyone, which was one Tonse Alliance\u2019s promises.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople were expecting that Chakwera and Chilima will perform better that Magufuli (former Tanzania president) but that can\u2019t happen at the rate we are going,\u201d said Kalindo wo is also a comedian.<\/p>\n

His remarks come after Winiko, a character a character performed by Bon Kalindo, earlier this month bashed the Tonse administration over poor performance.
