Lawyer and Human Rights Defender Alexious Kamangila has written a food for thought on his face book page challenging Malawians to mark his words that President Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika will be the greatest President in Africa.
Kamangila has urged all Malawians regardless of their political party affiliations to pray for the life of Mutharika to fulfil his vision he has for the country to take it out from abstract poverty to prosperity and that he should not be eliminated.
He said President Professor Mutharika is showing to Malawians what it is to be a proven leader that they do not need a dictator to develop the country which for years has been labelled poor by politicians in government while them are richer than Malawi and its citizens.
“Only ignorant people praise that trending dictator,” reads Kamangila’s writings on the wall leaving Malawians digesting his remarks.
A concerned citizen of Malawi of Area 51 in Lilongwe Mrs. Elizabeth Kaliza Banda, has concurred with Kamangila’s remarks that Mutharika will be the greatest President in Africa judging from the day he took over office four months ago.
Kaliza said President Professor Mutharika has been proved that he is now a president of all Malawians than the way he was between 2014 and 2019 leading to his ousting from power in June, 2020 that Malawi now is having a different Mutharika.
She said in just four months in office, President Professor Mutharika has reshuffled his cabinet for three times without growing calls from the general public and civil society organizations speaking to itself that non- performing Ministers will have no room in Mutharika’s government.
The citizen has claimed that Professor Mutharika is now a listening President making sure that by the time he will leave office in 2030 Malawi will be somewhere and not at a roundabout as it is today without direction.
She said the Executive Order issued on the 17th February, 2026 under Mutharika’s signature, is a clear testimony that the proven leadership Malawians have for long been waiting, is Professor Mutharika saying he is not the President of the DPP alone as the opposition MCP was thinking.
In the Order, President Professor Mutharika said it has come to his attention that certain health personnel in public health facilities have been soliciting payment from patients as a condition for providing medical services.
Mutharika said other health personnel have been advising the patients to attend to their private clinics in order to access better treatment describing such conduct as unlawful, unethical, and wholly unacceptable saying it is an affront to the patients’ constitutional right to access health services.
“No person employed by a public hospital or health facility shall own, operate, or hold shares in a private health clinic or pharmacy, any employ currently holding such ownership or shares must divest within thirty days (30) from the date of the Executive Order,” reads Mutharika’s Order under his hand.
Kaliza said Professor Mutharika has demonstrated to Malawians that he has a solemn duty to uphold and defend the Constitution of Malawi which guarantees every citizen the right to access health services without discrimination or deprivation.
She has finally expressed hope that President Professor Mutharika will issue another Order that salaries for Ministers and Members of Parliament be cut by half on the basis that they were elected to serve the people and not employment.
