No sour relationship with the President-Chakwera
The Leader of Opposition in Parliament and
President for Malawi Congress Party (MCP) says his relationship with President
Mutharika is unbroken and has no bitterness pertaining to the recent incident
in Blantyre where President Mutharika failed to recognize his presence at the
grand opening of HTD showroom.
Chakwera said, he the incident does not make him
feel sidelined by the president even though people are giving various opinions
and interpretations.
“I am just me I never depend on someone’s
recognition to be who I am because I know who I am. I did not know that that
incident is going to be a big issue. But as it turned out there were various
comments and so forth, I just want you to know that I have never moved from my
positional.” Chakwera said. “I do not seek recognition I seek to serve
Malawians, if other people interpreted as a deliberate ploy to make sure that I
get sidelined it does not bother me one bid.”
The MCP leader added that ever since, his intent
and manner of operations is to respect institutions, office of Presidency and the
laws of this country. He gave an example that after losing elections “as
painful as it was” he announced to the nation that he called the president
elect and gave him his congratulations and wished him well.
Though Chakwera indicated that he was invited to
the inauguration of HDT Motor City in Blantyre, he was firm to mention that he
will never stop attending development functions that president Muntarika will
also be in attendance saying as leader of opposition he “represents” a
constituency of Malawians.
“Understand that we are here to serve not to
promote our own persons and that has been my style of leadership and will
continue to be my style of leadership.” Maintained Chakwera
