BBC :You promised a new Malawi, you said “ time for getting handouts is past’. Is the appointment of your daughter, Violet, to Brussels a good example?
CHAKWERA : I am really amazed that as you can use that as an example of something that’s not even true. Violet is not the one to Brussels, and so…
BBC: No, its true she is going to Brussels
CHAKWERA : She is not going to start as Executive secretary by job, check your facts, investigate those things
BBC :This is true, she was in your delegation to London, which is actually a VIRTUE CONFERENCE…, you have 10 people, but you wanted 61 to come, reportedly. You have included in your 10 member team YOUR WIFE, YOUR DAUGHTER and YOUR SON INLAW,
CHAKWERA: Everyone has a responsibility, like you just mentioned, it is not that I have included them, they are part because I brought my wife, and I did not invite myself , by the way, to this conference. I have done conferences in Malawi. Yes, it was an appeal to be present here personally even though it’s virtue conference.
BBC: As the president of a country, your Foreign Minister is back at home, and in your delegation you brought your family
CHAKWERA: No, don’t even use that, I brought Malawians that ARE DOING SOMETHING ALONG WITH ME on this trip and they are just as valuable
BBC: Okay, so of the 10 people, in the delegation, 3 of them are part of you as members of your family. How acceptable is that, for somebody who, a year ago, promised to clear the rubble?
CHAKWERA : I can tell you that each one of them has a specific function, and for me to be able to attend meetings like these, I need their services.
That’s what powerhungry people once they ascend to the top job in the land do.Fond of telling lies when in the actual fact you know that the incumbet is doing fine.So Malawians are ripping what they had sowed.So,be careful Zambia and vote wisely.
