Opposition People’s Party (PP) Interim President Uladi Mussa has blamed President Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika as the main man behind the hunger crisis that the country experienced in the past month.
Mussa said this at Makheta ground in the commercial capital Blantyre where he was addressing Party followers.
“The government could have bought the maize last year. They knew that we have El Niño and we will not have food well in advance but look now, they are buying the maize this year. My foot! This indecisiveness is costing people’s lives,” said Mussa.
Mussa also accused Minister of Finance and Economic Development Goodall Gondwe and ministers of Agriculture Allan Chiyembekeza as failures.
He said the two failed to tell Malawians the truth about the Maize imported in Zambia and other countries.
In a related development, Opposition Malawi Congress Party (MCP) President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera held a rally at Nyambadwe ground in the same city where he urged Political Parties in the country to stop misusing the youths by hiring them to cause fracas in rallies.
Chakwera call follows a fracas that erupted in Mzuzu where four MCP members were seriously injured by unknown thugs.
The thugs were armed with Panga knives.
