Pan-Africanist, Revolutionary and Visionary leader Bantu Saunders Jumah, has advised political parties wishing to form or establish Alliances in Malawi that a lesson must be drawn from what has happened to the Tonse Alliance government where one party manipulated everything known as coalition.

Jumah has cautioned political parties that if any Alliances are to be made, there must be drafted documentation under the law observing that Malawi politicians don’t respect the law or don’t understand “Gentlemen agreement” because of greed and selfishness saying leadership is not Godliness it is but service.

He said leadership is a serious undertaking, one need to have full judgment of what he can do than believing and bestowing his trust in minions saying President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera will live to regret having left his minions lead him when he was the Head of State.

Writing in a statement, Jumah said Malawi more than ever must look for leadership that has vision apart from his or her personal or family interest saying Malawians need a leader who will sacrifice his or her dreams for the country and citizens for this generation and another.

Jumah said the leader coming in September, 2025 onwards, must be someone who will have brains to service the existing whooping debt which is likely to reach K20 trillion if Malawi Congress Party (MCP)continue to give handouts and buying opponents.

He said this very leader must be intelligent enough to start building a nation that in less than 3 years, Malawians must start seeing the avenue of a future, failing which, Malawi is on the path towards disaster of bankruptcy.

The Revolutionary said leaders who are myopic because of greed, age, and gallivant are not an option for the better future saying a liberator, a rescuer is sought for this nation where politics is understood to the milking cow as politicians and political party games.

Jumah has noted with a great concern that today, Malawi is in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), President Chakwera is not a surgeon or Doctor who can resuscitate a nation to move forward, he is a sign of complete failure, a shadow of shame and history-less.

“It is unlikely that President Chakwera and MCP will have any chance of continuing ruling Malawi because of their failure to distinguish leadership qualities as from 8th July, 2020 when he received a Sword of Command at Kamuzu Barracks in Lilongwe as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces,” he said.

Jumah said even business people, investors and diplomats in Malawi recognize the failure and carelessness of President Chakwera’s leadership observing that worse still, he and the MCP don’t want to change beside knowing and realizing that his rival Dr. Saulosi Chilima is no more.

He has finally advised Malawians that the habit of harvesting where they didn’t sow, has gripped President Chakwera and MCP, they began a war of extravagance and overspending on the nation whose life jacket is borrowing and begging.
