The leader of the United Transformation Movement (UTM), Dalitso Kabambe, has promised to invest a total of 500 billion Kwacha in the development of tourism, mining, and agriculture sectors.
He stated that the investment would aim to make Malawi’s economy more competitive by lowering the cost of living for ordinary citizens.
Kabambe emphasized that his vision for Malawi’s future includes strengthening the tourism sector as a key driver of economic growth.
He also announced that he would allocate 100 billion Kwacha to be invested across all districts in the country to improve infrastructure and promote economic development.
These funds, according to Kabambe, would ensure that developmental projects across the nation move forward, benefiting local communities and boosting the country’s economic performance.
Kabambe made these remarks at a rally held at Kaphatenga Agricultural School as part of a broader set of meetings aimed at addressing regional development in coastal areas.
He went on to say that Malawians should vote for UTM if they wanted the country’s economy to recover and see a return to economic stability.
He added that the country’s poverty levels and the high cost of living could be addressed through strategic investments and economic reforms.
Kabambe’s promise to cut prices of essential goods aligns with his broader agenda of creating a more affordable economy for the people of Malawi.
As the elections approach, Kabambe’s proposals have sparked debates on how realistic these goals are and whether they can be achieved in the short term.
However, his commitment to infrastructure development and economic growth remains a cornerstone of UTM’s platform heading into the polls.
With the upcoming election, many Malawians are keen to see if Kabambe’s ideas will resonate with voters and if the UTM will be able to deliver on these ambitious promises.
Kabambe concluded his speech by urging Malawians to vote wisely, choosing a leadership that will prioritize the welfare of the people and ensure that economic opportunities are accessible to all.
