As the country is fast heading towards the first ever Tripartite
Elections, Chewa Chiefs have come forward to say that President Joyce
Banda should be given a chance to rule this country, saying the two
years she has been in power are not enough for her to showcase her
real potential.
The traditional leaders revealed this in separate interviews with Malawi News Agency (Mana).
Senior Chief Lukwa of Kasungu said President Banda took over this Government when things were worse in the country and despite all these she has shown how promising she is by getting lid of most of the problems the country was in within a short period of time.
“President Banda has shown that once voted into power on May 20 she can transform this nation to the better. When she was taking over government there was crisis in this country, for example there was shortage of fuel, foreign currency and many other things to mention a few and she has put all that to a complete end,’’ Lukwa said.
T/A Mwansambo of Nkhotakota conquered with
Lukwa saying the issue is not about achieving Gender 50-50 campaign
only but rather putting promising leaders into power hence advising
Malawians that no matter what happens on the way to tripartite elections
they should vote for JB come 20 May if this country is to develop.
On the same issue, T/A Khombedza of Salima said Malawians should not be fooled by clever sweet talking politicians who cannot fulfill their promises.
‘’Let us vote for a leader who has the welfare of people at heart, not just anybody, this country has been in poverty for so long. So this is not the time to vote for the people who will make the poor more poorer than before, and to us, JB is the only way out,’’ Said T/A Khombedza.
On his part T/A Chembe of Mangochi said Malawi has had enough of selfish leaders who only want to steal from the pockets of the poor and make themselves richer saying this is the time to vote for Banda who has helped to track down such kind of people hence the birth of Cash Gate Scandal.
‘’JB has shown how powerful she is by tracking down the culprits of Cash Gate Scandal of which the job is still on the way, without her sound leadership this would not have been revealed,’’ said T/A Nthondo of Ntchisi.
According to GVH Mayande of T/A Kwenda in Nkhotakota, time has come for Malawi to try women leadership at all cost because the country has had enough of men leaders who have so far made very little difference or no difference at all.
Commenting on the development NGO-Gender Coordinating Network (NGO-GCN) Chairperson Emmie Kaliya said what the Chewa Chiefs are up to is a welcome development as far as NGO-GCN is concerned saying Malawians should not fail JB because she is a woman but they should try her on 20 May because she is competent.
However, Chairperson for Chewa Heritage Foundation (CHEHFO), Professor Kanyama Phiri said it is a 50-50 game and Chewa chiefs must be more careful on how they will go about it.
Malawi will be holding the first ever tripartite elections on 20 May this year and all political parties plus its aspirants are busy preparing for the big day hence all these developments.
