A nation that is reeling on its knees cannot afford to shoulder the burden of havig over 30 cabinet ministers and a horde of presidential advisors with their huge appetites for travelling and allowances on a daily basis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The advice to trim the cabinet to 20 ministers and reduce his advisors was also put forward by Consumer Association of Malawi (CAMA), whose Executive Director, John Kapito said this will make Chakwera to be seen as being serious on government\u2019s cost cutting measures.<\/p>\n<p>Entitled \u2018Two years of Tonse Alliance\u2019s Talk Show \u2014 Our rating of the Tonse Alliance Government in the last two years, HRDC calls on the Government \u201cnot to take Malawians for granted\u201d, saying Chakwera\u2019s leads an indecisive and slow decision-making administration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe hallmark of the Tonse Alliance administration is inconsistences, slowness and indecisiveness. For instance, Malawians were promised the Cabinet would be assessed within the first six months and non-performers would summarily be dismissed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut two years down the line, the assessment is not forthcoming. For months, some statutory bodies have people in acting capacities while embassies are operating without Ambassadors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe problem is emanating from the Office of the President and Cabinet which has been allowed to operate at its own pace, caging decisions and holding the country at ransom. At this pace, the country will not develop and it will take millions of years to reach the promised land.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In its conclusion, HRDC calls upon the Tonse Alliance Government to \u201cwalk the talk on their electoral promises\u201d, saying \u201cthe government needs to start doing things the right way by getting rid of dead wood within its ranks and file which is stifling progress\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe President must reshuffle his team and bring people who are capable rather than roping in friends and cronies that have self-interests rather than that of the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe call upon the Administration to listen to the cries of its citizens who are heavily burdened by poor economic policies that are directly resulting in the rising cost of living.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/malawi\">Malawi<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Malawi.
