An Open Letter to Chakwera by a Malawian:

Your Excellency,
With the utmost respect for the office you hold, I write to you without reserve or embellishment.

Mr. President, you are set to lose the trust of this nation—and consequently, your hold on power—come the 2025 elections.

The reason is both simple and profound: you have allowed corruption to thrive under your watch. What began as suspicion that members of your administration were complicit has now become evident — you are at the very center of this rot. The truth is now glaring: the promises of integrity and transparency that endeared you to many of us have been betrayed.

It is a tragedy, for we once believed in your capacity to lead with honor. Yet today, you stand exposed as no different from the very corrupt forces you once vowed to defeat.

It was once an honor to have known you. I trust that you have made arrangements for your retirement, for the people of this country will not be misled again.

With regret and final regards,

Emmanuel Mwanyongo
