His Excellency, Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika, has reaffirmed his commitment in supporting vulnerable groups, including the poor, the elderly, and people living with disabilities. He made this pledge during a food distribution event held at Segere Ground in Chisegere Village, under Traditional Authority Chowe in Mangochi District. At the event, food relief items were distributed to orphans, the elderly, and people with albinism and other disabilities.
In his address, Professor Mutharika expressed empathy for the hardships that vulnerable communities are currently facing, citing persistent hunger and economic challenges that have worsened under the leadership of the current administration. He went after the Chakwera government for neglecting the needs of the ordinary Malawians, instead prioritizing self-enrichment over essential services. He pointed to the ongoing fuel crisis, which has persisted for seven months, as an example of how poor governance is exacerbating suffering. He highlighted the dire situation in villages, where essential services like ambulance operations have been paralyzed due to a lack of fuel, leading to preventable deaths.
Reflecting on his tenure as President of Malawi, Professor Mutharika emphasized that his administration ensured that no one died of hunger. He reminded the people of the various social programs his government implemented, such as the Affordable Inputs Program, reforestation initiatives, and food-for-work schemes, which were designed to uplift rural communities and support individuals with disabilities.
Looking ahead, he assured the people of Chisegere and Malawians at large that, if elected back into office on September 16, 2025, he would restore Malawi’s dignity and focus on addressing the needs of the most vulnerable. He promised to revive impactful programs such as the Affordable Cement and Malata Program, reforestation efforts, and food security initiatives, ensuring that rural communities benefit directly.
During the event, over 300 households from Chisegere and neighboring villages received food rations and maize, providing much-needed relief to families struggling with the current hardships. Professor Mutharika’s visit left the community with renewed hope for a better future under his leadership.
