Jumah added that Malawians are viewing the Tonse Alliance government as a careless government and has no welfare of its citizens at heart.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the elections are held today or in 2025, the Tonse Government under President Chakwera won\u2019t make it,\u201d he dares.<\/p>\n<p>Jumah said citizens wants referendum now and not yesterday to avoid continued borrowing by the Tonse Alliance government for consumption claiming that Tonse partners are quiet and do not want to be part and parcel of the future.<\/p>\n<p>He therefore called upon church and mosque leaders, Parliament and citizens to join hands together to serve mother-Malawi in a quest for a referendum for the citizens to choose whether they remain with the same constitution or change.<\/p>\n<p>The Commander in Chief said Malawi cannot live in power through excessive borrowing citing MK90 billion a month to 2060. As some of the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) officials are advocating for thinking that President Chakwera will rule up to 2060 describing this as making Chakwera to be life president.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is sad that that MCP and its Alliance partners are afraid of holding NEC meetings in their parties afraid of being told the truth that they are the people who do not wish the country well,\u201d said Jumah. Chakwera\u2019s Tonse Alliance administration is currently in economic mess up; shortages of drugs, forex, fuel, high cost of living.<\/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.
