The Roman Catholic Church in the country has asked President Reverend Lazarus Chakwera’s Tonse alliance administration to ‘humbly’ shallow their pride and listen to the voice of voiceless.
Blantyre Archdiocese Archbishop, Thomas Msusa, made the remarks recently during a celebration for the archdiocese’s patron Holy Mary in Blantyre. He said Tonse should listen to grievances Malawians are expressing and address them.
According to Archbishop Msusa, ignoring the grievances and hoping they will solve themselves will not help the country.
Recently, Minister of Information Gospel Kazako told the media that government was ready to engage concerned citizens in a round table discussion.
Just a couple of days ago one Lucius Banda had the guts to standup and tell poverty stricken Malawians that all is well in the country, that as long as the bishops, pastors, reverends etc haven’t said anything about the dire poverty experienced in the country then Malawians can’t have a voice. Is Archbishop Msusa not qualified enough according to Chakwera’s cheerleaders? When you’re dumb you never set for yourself benchmarks you very well know you will not achieve. Tonse made that mistake and today they are biting their fingers for their carelessness. Although the number of literate people is in the country low, Malawians don’t need to go to school in order to understand that prices of basic commodities has skyrocketed. Comparing Malawi and the neighbouring countries on commodity prices is wrong. Some of the countries being compared to ours have a slightly strong economic base, they do not rely on imports, their leadership is astute and caring, their cabinet is mature, they stay at home to manage their economies and other government matters, they appoint staff based on merit, they walk the talk and refrain from lies, they concentrate on national building, the list can go on and on and on. The man of God has said it, what other caution do you need, actually after being taken on an educational tour by Booon Kkalindooo? Apa ng’ombe zayang’ana ku dazibomu!!
