President of the Revolutionary Party, Muvi wa Chilungamo Bantu Saunders Jumah the Utopian, says the 16th September, 2025 elections is a year of choice for Malawians on whether their country has to move forward or remain stagnant with politicians claiming that the country is poor.
Jumah said Malawi has clocked 61 years of independence and for 61 years, the country is not moving forward beside the country being governed by well-educated leaders with the highest qualifications on the land, Doctors and Professors.
He said for 61 years, any new government that comes in, there is nothing to write about except its politicians becoming billionaires over a night while the country and its people have nothing only clapping hands at their politicians for giving them handouts.
Speaking through a Podcast in South Africa, Jumah said the country has registered meaningful changes in the pockets of politicians for 61 years observing that the economy itself has kept on collapsing in the eyes of the country’s leaders.
Jumah said the local currency when the country came from one-party state to democracy in 1994 was K4.46t to a Dollar claiming that each and every government that came after 1994 has failed to maintain the value of the Malawi Kwacha to a Dollar.
He has noted with a great concern that the country’s economy is continuing collapsing not a tradition and not culture saying as a country, the leaders have failed to understand the meaning of democracy that government is of the people, for the people and by the people.
The Revolutionary leader said Malawi needs a leader who can turn around the country politically, socially and economically, a leader who can sacrifice to use the already available resources for the country to develop not going outside the country for loans.
He has challenged Malawians that the country’s economy cannot be fixed by people from outside the country, Malawians themselves have the potential by looking around them resources surrounding them for the country to move away from poverty to prosperity.
Jumah said the country has 5 beautiful lakes with many rivers whose waters are just flowing out without use, it has arable land for agricultural produce and hard -working people working around the clock but the people are poor, the country is not self-sufficient as projected by its leaders.
“60 percent of the country’s population are young people with fresh blood and mindset change to do better to change the country,” he said.
He has advised all Malawians regardless of their political party affiliations to think again and again, questioning themselves that are they happy to be in this status quo and if not, the 16th September, 2025 elections coming should give them a chance to listen to all political parties plans and policies for informed choices.
