Within days after Mec Chairperson declared candidate Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika the winner in the 16th September, 2025 Presidential elections, the Malawi Energy Regulatory Authority (MERA) has on 1st October, 2025 hiked fuel price, a development which has raised millions of questions as why?
Professor Mutharika has not been Sworn-in or inaugurated as the 7th President of the country leaving millions of Malawians questioning that is this Mutharika doing these fuel adjustments and who are the people behind doing this?
As of this day, outgoing President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera is still President of the country, he has not yet hand in power to Professor Mutharika, this is speaking to itself that there are people in government that are working overnight to destroy Professor Mutharika’s name.
It is now clear that MCP has not accepted the results of the elections, President Chakwera did not make it in good faith accepting defeat and congratulating Professor Mutharika for winning the elections, he did that out of pressure from Malawians not from the people that are surrounding him.
Freedom fighter and activist Kamlepo Kalua, has warned MERA boss Henry Kachaje to reverse the fuel price adjustments before it is too late saying he loves him as his own son claiming that he knows the people who are doing this and their plans.
Kalua has assured all that these people wants to make Professor Mutharika to be labelled by Malawians a failure saying very soon, it will be only history that they were there working very hard in a blame game between the outgoing government and the incoming government.
He has advised Kachaje and his group that they are committing a crime against humanity saying they are doing these fuel price adjustments to make this country ungovernable that Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika has failed.
The activist has assured MERA that the DPP led government through Professor Mutharika is not a government of vengeance saying it is a government of patriotism, love and unity and as such, it will not be tolerating nonsense.
He said the DPP knows what is happening, what happened saying terrible things are being made people are looting property at the State House, people have stolen a lot from NEEF, assuring them soon after Professor Mutharika has been Sworn-in, they will vomit what they have stolen in government.
“We know where you have hidden maize and fertilizers, you have cases to answer on the table and you are committing other criminal offenses,” said Kalua.
He said it is the wish of Professor Mutharika to lead Malawi in a peaceful and free from political witch-hunting and vengeance advising them to be ready, Kachaje and his team must go back until a review of fuel adjustments is made.
