Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>–<\/b>Reverend Maurice Munthali on Wednesday, March 1, 2023 resigned as President Lazarus Chakwera\u2019s Advisor on Peace, Reconciliation and Unity, citing corruption under the Chakwera administration.<\/p>\n

Munthali has also left his role as Malawi Congress Party (MPC) National Publicity Secretary claiming that there is rampant corruption in Chakwera\u2019s Tonse Alliance government<\/p>\n

In a letter circulating on social media addressed to Chakwera, Munthali says he finds it hard to continue in the role under the prevailing atmosphere marred by persistent corruption scandals.<\/p>\n

Munthali cited issues rocking the country including fallen short of appropriate or adequate action. \u201cI personally feel that as government we haven\u2019t provided the type of leadership and or direction that would meet the hopes of Malawians.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have resolved at a personal level that the prevailing circumstances do not evenly sit with my calling as a man of faith and the benign intentions I shared with the people in accepting to take up the advisory role,\u201d reads part of the letter.<\/p>\n

In the letter, Munthali has expressed hope that Chakwera will receive God\u2019s grace to deal with \u201ccorruption vice and the multiple inefficiencies\u201d rocking the government.<\/p>\n

Munthali has since confirmed writing the Office of Party\u2019s Secretary General Eisenhower Mkaka and the Office of the President and Cabinet of his decision. This is MCP senior member to resign from the post amid falling apart of Tonse Alliance government.<\/p>\n
