Lucius salutes Chilima’s fatherly response to flood victims

Veteran musician Lucius Banda who is also United Democratic front (UDF) Member of Parliament for Balaka North has saluted the country’s Vice President Dr. Saulos Chilima for his fatherly response to flood victims.

Banda’s comment follows Chilima’s visit to people affected by floods in the capital Lilongwe on Friday where he was captured holding twins trapped by water saved by Malawi Defence Force (MDF) soldiers.

Writing on his official facebook page, Banda said he is hopeful that the country soon will be not ruled by a boss but a father.

“I have a feeling, that someday soon! This country shall have no boss but a father, no first lady but a mother, It shall have no president but a leader, l have a feeling that we shall go back into a competition of good humanity for there will be a medal for patriotism.

“When Evil shall be shameful and good shall be praised l have a feeling today,” reads in part Banda’s post.

Banda’s post has stunned his fans with others joining him in appraising Chilima.

Hope Walker wrote: “Leadership is not about a title or a designation. It’s about impact, influence and inspiration. Impact involves getting results, influence is about spreading the passion you have for your work, and you have to inspire team-mates and customers.”

Added Elsie Elisheba: “ I like this photos too. I can see love honestly regardless of ones class. A big lesson is that even when you are told a high profile person is visiting you don’t go round borrowing decent clothes to look the best of you.”

About 2000 people in Mtandile have been affected of which 400 people are camped at the school.
