Former president of the Republic of Malawi who is also DPP leader Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika, has lamented that 4 weeks ago, his lawyers wrote MACRA Director General Daud Suleiman to stop MBC from airing programmes that are castigating him every day but to this day, he has received no response.
Mutharika has assured Suleiman that he will see him on the 16th September, 2025 elections saying Malawians will get the answer why Suleiman has been watching MBC insulting and castigating him, the ballot will speak.
Speaking at the launch of the DPP 2025 manifesto and campaign in Blantyre, Professor Mutharika said he accepted to stand for the fourth time as President to liberate the country assuring Malawians that he doesn’t come for personal gains but for the love of DPP and Malawians.
Mutharika said in 2018 at the Livingstonia CCAP Synod in Mzuzu he warned Malawians that if they are not going to be careful, evil will one -day rule the country observing that Malawians are in slavery of hunger, no money in their pockets, and people are fearing government.
He said people should respect government not fearing it saying it is the duty of government to make its people happy, listen to their concerns and grievances and finding solutions to their problems observing that this is lacking in the current government.
The former President said Malawians need a government that respects the constitution and the rule of law assuring the people that DPP is not a government of hacking people with pangas and stopping peaceful demonstrations.
He said he has been on the top of Mulanje mountain and he saw the promised land, assuring Malawians that he will take them to Canaan not Bagamoyo advising all to hold hands together to reach Canaan and not to be like the wife of Lot in the Holy Bible who turned into a pillar of salt.
Mutharika challenged all those that are receiving K50,000s as handouts to receive the money arguing that no one can refuse to be given money but, on the voting day, don’t vote for them, what they are being given, is their money collected from taxes.
“Receive the handouts, that is your money from taxes, if I can be given the money, I will also receive, but I won’t vote for them,” he said.
Mutharika assured Malawians that the DPP has never failed in its manifesto reminding Malawians that in 2014, they promised the economy to be back on track, technical colleges, and to end hunger, saying all these were fulfilled.
