When the house is on fire, it is not time to sit and admire the flames.”
Fellow Malawians, our beloved country is in a dire situation that requires our urgent attention.
As we speak, countless Malawians are forced to sleep at fuel stations, hoping that by some miracle, they may get a few precious drops of fuel.
But how much longer can we continue to live this way? How much more proof do we need to see that the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) has failed us?
As of recent every day, Malawians are made to wait, tired and frustrated, by fuel pumps that have run dry.
“A bird that relies on another for food will surely starve.” Today, we find ourselves in a country where fuel scarcity has become our daily reality.
Moses Kunkuyu, comes before us time and again, promising that “tomorrow” fuel will arrive. Yet, each “tomorrow” proves to be a lie, and each promise falls as empty as the tanks at our fuel stations.
If this is not evidence enough of failure, then what more do we need?
The scarcity of fuel does not only affect our movement; it raises the prices of every commodity in our markets, burdening the poor even further.
When will this government take responsibility? As we say, “When a pot is cracked, it is only a fool who keeps filling it with water.”
MCP has shown us time and again that they are unable to deliver. It is clear that no amount of promises will fill our tanks or reduce the hardships we face.
This is why I, Comrade Imraan Jumbe, am announcing my intent to join the presidential race in the 2025 general elections.
“When the old broom can no longer sweep, a new one must be brought in.” Malawi does not need leaders who speak empty words; Malawi needs a leader with a good heart, genuine passion, and a clear vision to transform this country for the better.
To my fellow Malawians, I say this: It is not the names, fame, or riches of a person that will save this nation.
It is genuine leadership, a love for the people, and a commitment to building a future that every Malawian deserves.
If we do not want to find ourselves weeping again after 2025, we must choose leaders who have the capacity and the heart to make a real change.
Leaders who see the suffering of our people not as an opportunity for personal gain but as a call to action.
Fuel preservation, for example, is an issue of national importance that cannot be left to chance or last-minute decision-making.
We cannot have a government waiting until pumps are dry across the country before scrambling to find a solution.
If I am given the honor to lead, my administration will have a solid strategy to secure fuel supplies for our country and stabilize the market.
I will work to ensure that we never have to see our citizens sleeping by fuel stations or spending their days in long queues.
To those who continue to support this suffering for a mere thousand kwacha, who chant “ngambingambwi” in blind support of a broken system, I ask you to think not of yourselves but of the future of our nation.
Consider your children, the future generations, and the Malawi we are leaving behind for them.
“A nation that eats itself from within will have nothing left to pass on to its children.”Malawi is at a crossroads.
This is not a time to sit back and accept the suffering forced upon us. Let us stand together, demand better, and ensure that in 2025, we elect leaders who truly care for our country and our people.
Together we can.
