Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Malawians on social media have taken on swipe at President Lazarus Chakwera\u2019s planed State of Nation Adress barely a day after he arrived from a two week trip in Qatar.<\/b><\/p>\n

Chakwera remained abroad despite reports Cyclone Freddy hitting the country since Saturday. The President was in Qatar for UN Least Developing countries conference that ended on March 9, 2023.<\/p>\n

But Chakwera went straight to South Africa for yet to be verified bilateral meetings. According to communication from state House, the President will hold national address from 6pm at Sanjika Palace in Blantyre, Wednesday, March 15, 2023.<\/p>\n

Chakwera address also comes barely three years after he promised enactment of Disaster Risk Management bill (DRM) which tackles serious issues on financing, relocation of people from prone disaster areas and among others.<\/p>\n

This has prompted Malawians on social media questioning Chakwera\u2019s wisdon of keeping on holding nation addresses with zero action on the ground. \u201cWe want action on the ground. Enough of unfruitful speeches,\u201d dares Godfrey Nthenda.<\/p>\n

Frank Mulima queries, \u201cOn what issues is he going to address Malawians? \u201cLets support our President in thus difficult times and let\u2019s put politics aside\u201d, Stvie Kalepa shares different view. Banda Mwalijah Stanley chips in, \u201cWe need action not words\u201d. Cyclone Freddy has claimed more than 200 lives while displacing over 10,000 households.<\/p>\n
