Malawi Congress Party (MCP) National Youth Director Richard Chimwendo Banda has hailed President Dr Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera for ending blackouts in the country which were great impediment to the country’s economic growth as most small scale businesses were hurt and frustrated by the blackouts.
Speaking today at Kaliyeka School ground in Lilongwe, Chimwendo said energy sector is the lifeblood of every economy hence president Chakwera worked tooth and nail to make sure that the people of Malawi go “back to work”.
“Blackouts have ripple effects on the economy. Small businesses are hurt sending most people into poverty and yet energy is the lifeblood of every economy.
“But since we have a visionary leader in the name of Chakwera, the blackouts are now history a sign that soon the economy will be rejuvenated as small scale businesses are running at a full scale,” said bulldozer Chimwendo Banda who is also leader of government business in Parliament.
On politics, Chimwendo reiterated that president Chakwera and MCP will win the 2025 polls.

Mithenga who was fired from UTM in April 2021 on matters that border of character, led other 10 members who were also unveiled at the rally and welcomed by the party’s secretary general, Eisenhower Mkaka.
