These travels with huge and unproductive delegations are costing Malawians.<\/p>\n<p>Kapito cited an example of former President of Tanzania, late Pombe Magufuli, \u201cwho never travelled outside his country but achieved a lot economically for his people within a short period in office because he had clear economic policies\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe achieved so much good together with the people around him. President Chakwera can also learn from the President of Zambia, who only travels with a small delegation and chooses his trips.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe spends shorter periods outside his country and his economy is one of most envied in the Southern African region.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kapito maintains that \u201cMalawians are better judges when the President left for the UN. Malawians were promised so many benefits of the trip and one was that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) program would be concluded.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnfortunately, the President was told right in the face that the program would not be resumed and instead Malawi was given pro-poor funding so negligible to address the challenges that the President left behind like scarcity of forex and fuel, high exchange rates, high prices of goods, no electricity, etc.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe IMF funding that has been promised for Malawi is so negligible that it can\u2019t address the challenges facing Malawians. The Millennium Challenge Compact (MCC) did not require the presence of the President as it was signed by a Minister.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe officials from MCC would have come to Malawi if requested to do so and the only achievement that Malawians can remember were photo-shoot opportunities with senior US government officials \u2014 and not even with the US President \u2014 than any meaningful benefits.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kapito added that \u201cMalawians are simply requesting the President to consider the high cost of his many trips with his large delegations\u201d and advised Chakwera that his extravagant travels are hurting poor Malawians\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs tax payers, we will not stop advising the President as he continues abusing poor people\u2019s public money. Mr. President, be prudent \u2014 we are a poor country and your appetite for travel is creating poverty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He concluded that the President should stop castigating the taxpayers from the political podium like he did at the Karonga-Chitipa Cultural Festival where Chakwera said \u201cthere were some Malawians writing on social media telling the IMF not to give Malawi any money.<\/p>\n<p>He had said a President carries the flag to represent the whole country, and \u201cit is bad for the country when the outside world sees us castigating our own leaders for representing us around the world, because it discourages foreign investors and development partners\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He defended his travel to the US, saying he successfully secured a Rapid Credit Facility that will inject US$88 million into the economy, saying \u201cthis money is not for me, but for all Malawians \u2014 especially those of you who need forex to trade across the border.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I went to the USA to secure investments for Malawi, including US$350 million from the US Government for the construction of roads, including roads here in the north, some Malawians said I should not go.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I went to Europe to negotiate a \u20ac125 million package of support for Malawi, which we finally signed yesterday and part of which will be used to provide food for those whose crops did not do well, some Malawians said I should not go.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut all these trips abroad were in pursuit of resources Malawians need, and I want to thank all of you who supported my decision to press on, because that is what national unity looks like.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Malawians, including the civil society organisation, former President Peter Mutharika and Malawi\u2019s Catholic Bishops in their Pastoral Letter released this month, had condemned the government from undertaking the trip to UNGA in the middle of an economic crisis in Malawi, saying the cost of travel for his and his entourage was very high.<\/p>\n<p>This all comes after revelations on social media that over US$21,000 was being spent on allowances per day for Chakwera delegation of 37 people, who were receiving US$560 (about K580,000) each per day in allowances with ministers receiving US$900 (nearly K1 million) per day for 24 days.<\/p>\n<p>The reports said normally, many members of Chakwera\u2019s delegation were supposed to receive US$280 (about K290,000) per day and ministers were required to receive US$450 (about K465,000) per day but the allowances were doubled because of a rise in cost of living in New York.<\/p>\n<p>The revelation of this cost on allowance alone were not officially confirmed and thus Kapito maintains that Malawians are better judges and critics on the benefits of many of Chakwera\u2019s international and local travels.<\/p>\n<p>A fortnight ago, Kapito said Malawians expected the President that upon arrival from the US, he would immediately start addressing critical challenges affecting the country but \u201cwere shocked to see both the President and his Vice at a golf charity fundraising event that could have been delegated and reduce the high security cost.<\/p>\n<p>The Presidential Charity Golf had already raised K270 million from the targeted K200 million with contributions from various corporate companies and other well-wishers but the President and his deputy pitched up to play the game at Lilongwe Golf Club.<\/p>\n<p>Kapito said Chakwera spent too long in the US \u2014 close to 25 days \u2014 leaving behind an economic crisis and at a time Malawians needed his leadership to address the serious economic and social challenges the economy was going through.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe President with his large delegation took and swept almost every dollar available on the market for activities that he could have conducted with a small number of people for a shorter period considering the cost implications of the trip,\u201d he had said.<\/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.
