Democratic Progressive Party -DPP Vice President for Central Region, business tycoon, Alfred Gangata has lauded former President Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika as Malawi’s “best hope” to revive the economy and bring back social dignity to Malawians including women and youth amidst hunger that has ravaged the entire country due to poor policies.

He was speaking on Sunday at a mass rally he pitched at Mgona ground in area 25, Lilongwe with other DPP senior members.

Malawians are going through torture, hardship, executive arrogance, lies and bad governance inflicted on them by MCP under pastor Chakwera.

“The party pledged to address unemployment, tackle corruption, rule of law, good governance, youth empowerment, free tuition for secondary school learners and initiate policies that will help to eradicate poverty. But all that wishes vanished,” said the youthful politician.

He went on to describe the ruling party as curse to the people of Malawi as many are now regretting voting them into power.

“Despite the good prices of tobacco at the auction floor, the country is still grappling with worst economic crisis in years as it faces galloping inflation where women and youth can no longer venture into business because the economic environment is toxic, he said.
