By Rick Dzida

Dalitso Kabambe’s proposed solutions to address Malawi’s economic challenges reflect a multifaceted approach aimed at stabilizing and revitalizing the economy.

He articulated these solutions at the recent UTM Press briefing held at the party’s headquarters on 13 January 2025.

Kabambe pointed out that reducing reliance on borrowing can help mitigate debt levels and interest payments, allowing the government to allocate resources more effectively. This could also enhance fiscal sustainability and restore investor confidence.

By cutting down on travel expenses, Kabambe revealed, the government can save money that can be redirected towards essential services or development projects. This measure could also promote a more efficient use of resources.

He said that focusing on the mining sector can boost economic growth by increasing exports and creating jobs. Proper management and investment in this sector could lead to significant revenue generation for the government.

Kabambe highlighted that enhancing agricultural productivity is crucial for food security and economic stability. By investing in commercial agriculture, Malawi can reduce dependency on food imports, improve livelihoods, and create jobs in rural areas.

Implementing strict anti-corruption measures can improve governance and restore public trust, Kabambe emphasized. Reducing corruption can lead to more effective use of public funds and better service delivery.

Kabambe said that adjusting monetary and fiscal policies to stabilize the currency and retain foreign exchange reserves is essential for economic stability. This can help manage inflation and improve the overall economic environment.

Investing in health and education is vital for human capital development. Improved access to quality health care and education can enhance productivity and contribute to long-term economic growth, Kabambe emphasized.

By addressing these key areas, Kabambe aims to create a more resilient and sustainable economic framework for Malawi, ultimately improving the quality of life for its citizens.
