There are observations that people from the Chewa tribe are dominating top positions including the cabinet, since Chakwera assumed the presidency.

But others argue that the Lhomwe tribe has been dominating public appointments, therefore the inclusion of other tribes is now meant to balance the system.

Speaking at the cultural event, Chakwera strongly condemned tribalism but appealed for promotion of cultural diversity.
