Revolutionary President of Muvi wa Chilungamo Revolutionary Party (MRP) Bantu Saunders Jumah, has appealed to all Malawians regardless of political, religion, tribal or regional affiliation to come together and hold national dialogue where Truth and Reconciliation be their motto as a country.
Jumah says 6th July, marks exactly 61 years of independence saying this is a moment of reflection and introspection to understand the past, the present so that Malawians can establish growth in economy, social welfare and tangible development in the future.
He says Malawi is looking for leaders, people and patriots who will realistically deal with the origin of the broken or wrong foundation saying Malawi will never fix the broken or wrong foundation without standing straight to God and confess the sins and deceptions of their foundation.
Writing in a statement marking 6th July, Independence celebrations, Jumah said shamefully 61 years of independence, politics has entangled and blanketed the entire nation without Truth or Facts saying without fixing the ills, Malawi must forget ever to develop her social welfare, economy or futurism.
Jumah said as a country, they must be ashamed and pitted to see 61 years of independence where they fail to procure fuel for 21 million citizens, sugar cannot be readily available in the country and politics continue to define who they are, not their nationality or citizenship.
He said the need to fix or rebuild the broken or wrong foundation is a must but it will never be achieved with torch-bearers that are cosmetic in their minds while harboring evil deeds inside their hearts.
The Revolutionary leader said with torch-bearers that are sweet talkers but bad doers behind the scenes, this country is deepening into dangerous crisis, saying the country still mourns with suspicions the mysterious deaths of Weddington Salima, Richard Japer, Dick Matenje, Aaron Gadama, Twaibu Sangala, David Chiwanga, Robert Chasowa, Issa Njaunju, Dr. Saulosi Chilima and eight others.
He said Malawians cannot be blessed when other souls are crying in the Cemeteries of Warren Hills, Chikangawa Hills, in Harare, in Lusaka, in the rivers of Shire and Dams of Stella Maris observing that 61 years of independence, the country’s economy has continued to nose-dive with no political will to fix the bad politics, bad social welfare, and fake unity.
Jumah says the country cannot celebrate national independence by a single political party-MCP in a country of 24 political parties saying Malawians cannot rebuild or fix the broken and wrong foundation where political language is always castigating one another.
He said until the day the living will stood on one another and confess, repent bad mouthing in public gatherings and respect one another as children of one nation and genuinely shake hands both physically and in spirit, the wrong and broken foundation will not or never be fixed in this country.
“Let us all realize “rhetoric and innuendos’ cannot develop a nation or people, food for thought to those who call themselves leaders,” reads the statement in part.
