Good Malawians, sometimes as a country we must respect and feel sorry for some of our political game players on moral grounds.
A good example is Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) leader Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika. He is being forced on a pathetic political journey without mercy.
To begin with, Mutharika is an octogenarian. He is too old. It is injustice of highest order to be forcing him to stand as a candidate in the next year’s presidential election just to quench harmful desires of some DPP gurus.
I know there are some selfish men and women in DPP whose plans are to be directing APM in the long run – benefitting themselves.
DPP must learn to embrace the African culture of respecting the elderly. The philosophy of Ubuntu must run through the blue camp if sane Malawians are to bestow respect for the party.
The undeniable fact is, Mutharika did his good part from May 2014 to June 2020. There is no any reasonable need to be squeezing our beloved law professor into further politics just to enrich yourselves in a sudden aftermath.
I understand Mutharika instituted advisors. However, the pressure exerted on him is a naked indication that his advisory committee is another bunch of useless minds whose sole objective is to be manipulating the former Harvard University law professor!
Siyani nkhaza kwa achikulire. Mumangidwa nazo ulele izi.
