‘During this year. We will clock four years of the Tonse Alliance Government’. If Malawians ask themselves, “AM I BETTER OFF NOW THAN I WAS FOUR YEARS AGO? the resounding answer for the vast majority of Malawians is an emphatic- NO.
It is clear that that the story of that Tonse Alliance Government told us before being elected into government is not being realised.

Malawians were promised to go to Canaan but instead they have been sent to Bagamoyo.. Bagamoyo is a city on the east cost of Tanzania which when a slave arrives there he or she lost all hope of being free again.
“Instead of reaching the Promised Land of prosperity we are bogged down in the same land we wanted to leave, namely the land of hunger, disease, poverty, corruption and a like. Malawians feel that there is no one in the current government who cares about them or who us able to improve their situation.,” bishops cry for their people.

The Bishops have also taken a swipe at the Judiciary calling it most corrupt organization that has allowed itself to dance to money than preserving its integrity by defending the poor.

“Even the Judiciary appears to have abandoned its integrity and has embroiled itself in corruption and partisanship. The prices of judges and magistrates is no longer taboo; its an open secret that some lawyers thrive by bribing judges and magistrates to defeat the poor ends of justice. Some judges and magistrates are accountable to no one. They take years to hear cases gets the Judiciary does nothing to discipline them. Instead they are rewarded with promotion,” fume bishops.

The Bishops have also take a dive into the Democratic Progressive Party ( DPP) leadership squabbles.
“We watch with dismay the continuous squabbles that are being manifested in the political parties (DPP). What is seen are continuous fights that either end in circles of expulsions of members from parties or court injunctions and cases. In our view, these are actions that are driving democracy backwards and have the potential to throw this country into chaos and further dehumanizing poverty. Malawians are crying for parties that can take them out of poverty and not positions,” blasts the bishops.

Our dearest Catholic Bishops, we salute you for the courage and boldness in addressing concerns from Malawians. Your body is the only hope for Malawians. This Tonse thing is taking Malawians for granted and they think, and fill are untouchable, they have completely forgotten that before them there was other leaderships. What they MUST KNOW WETHER THEY LIKE IT OR NOT NEITHER DISHING OUT BILLIONS TO PEOPLE TO FOOL THEM. This time around such old fashion campaign WILL NEVER NEVER NEVER WORK. They will never win they need to know this.
