Former President Peter Mutharika has blasted President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera to flying to United Nation General Assembly (UNGA) in New York amid crisis in the country.

Mutharika is speaking from his PAGE House residence in Mangochi.

Mutharika has begun his speech with “I am vindicated after telling people to vote for DPP if they wanted progress and MCP if they did not”.

He says the Chakwera administration is insensitive to the plight of Malawians as shown by his departure for the US at a time “the country is in a crisis”.

“I ask him to return immediately,” Mutharika says accusing his successor of cancelling ECF and other programs begun by the DPP simply to score a political point.

Mutharika says governments are there to face and solve problems.
