Speaking outside Malawi University of Science and Technology (MUST) on Thursday after presiding over the 5th Congregation of the University which saw 610 students graduating, Chakwera reiterated that his administration will not allow anyone to die of hunger.

“We are working tirelessly to tackle these challenges. Our administration is committed to ensuring that all constituencies experience development, regardless of political affiliations,” said Chakwera.

He also praised the peaceful co-existence of people from different tribes, stressing that nepotism has no place in his administration.

The President, however, urged Malawians to remain united to achieve self-sufficiency.

Speaking earlier, Khamisa appealed to the President to consider purchasing idle land owned by estates for distribution to people of Thyolo, who lack sufficient farmland.

“A significant number of people here have no land for cultivation because much of it is occupied by tea estates. This often results in food shortages as people cannot harvest enough to meet their household needs,” said Khamisa.

He also requested the establishment of additional fertilizer distribution centres to reduce the long distances farmers travel to access farm inputs under the affordable farm inputs progranmme.
