Well-known social media influencer cum-activist Joshua Chisa Mbele has hailed People’s Transformation Party (Petra) President Kamuzu Chibambo for pulling out of the stinking Tonse Alliance government of President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera.

Chibambo in his statement, cited growing corruption evidenced by events surrounding Anti Corruption Bureau Director General Martha Chizuma suspension saga, looming hunger due to governance failures, and dubious procurement and haphazard supply of fertilizers under the Affordable Input Program (AIP).

“The truth of the matter is that all the above failures, wrongs and bad decisions amid several others are not only contrary to what we campaigned for in the 2020 Presidential Election but are also increasingly frustrating all genuine efforts to fight this vice and the rule of law.

“In light of this, Petra’s leadership is left with no option but to withdraw with immediate effect its membership from the Tonse Alliance, as it hereby does,” said Chibambo.

Writing on his official facebook page Chisa Mbele hailed Chibambo for the gesture.

“My brother has called it QUIT.

“To Stick with Alliance is to position oneself to US, EU & UK looming sanctions for nothing,” wrote Chisa Mbele.

He added: “Izi muwasiyire amene ali ndi Ngwenya ku Nathenje.

“Osafera za eni.”

Meanwhile, Chakwera is yet to comment on the matter.
