I am asking him to dissolve the whole cabinet and appoint a lean one of about 18 members to cut on spending. DPP at a certain point did this and it worked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn a crisis like this, President Chakwera is also supposed to reduce the number of presidential advisors. They are too many and in fact this advisory task can be performed by cabinet ministers,\u201d said Nankhumwa.<\/p>\n<p>The Leader of Opposition further added that at a time when Chakwera is supposed to part ways with both local and international trips, it is very pathetic that he will this weekend travel to Egypt, a trip which he said should be cancelled so as to use the resources in addressing some burning challenges.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is surprising that this weekend he will be flying to Egypt. Such trips are a huge drain on public resources both in forex and local currency. Its reasonable to cancel the trip because the time he will be flying out, there will still be long queues for fuel. He should also reduce the presidential motorcade as most of the vehicles there are fuel guzzlers,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Nankhumwa has also urged President Chakwera to immediately call for \u2018An All-inclusive National Consultative Conference\u2019 where all stakeholders such as religious leaders, the academia, the business community, political party leaders among others, should be invited.<\/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.
