Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Social commentator Joshua Chisa Mbele says President Lazarus Chakwera has brought Malawi on its knees and has finished off the Malawi Congress Party (MCP).<\/p>\n

Mbele said this in a post on Facebook following Chakwera\u2019s statement on Thursday in Dedza where he urged party officials to always give him truthful reports.<\/p>\n

In his Facebook post, Mbele said he was giving Chakwera the truth that the president had requested.<\/p>\n

According to Mbele, the truth is that Chakwera has brought Malawi down on its knees as the economy has worsened with longstanding fuel and forex crises as well as high levels of unemployment.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo fuel. No Forex. Corruption. Hunger. Inflation. Harassment & intimidation of people who oppose corrupt tendencies. 91% unemployment,\u201d wrote Mbele.<\/p>\n

He also called out Chakwera\u2019s administration for treatment the director general of the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) Martha Chizuma who was arrested in December and appears to have slowed down in the fight against corruption<\/p>\n

\u201cHow you trivialized ACB and harassed the Director General is the lowest in your administration,\u201d said Mbele.<\/p>\n

The analyst then declared that Chakwera will not be re-elected in the 2025 presidential elections saying his legacy \u201cwill be a laughing stock\u201d.<\/p>\n

He wrote: \u201cYou will be the most hated former president when you step down in 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n

In another Facebook post, Mbele said the MCP which Chakwera leads and its officials have dismally failed to demonstrate the guardianship of sound policies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey instead became the supervisor of looting, mismanagement, incompetence and disorganisation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
