President Dr. Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera has taken a bold stand against Malawi鈥檚 growing culture of blame, urging citizens to shift from finger-pointing to active participation in solving national challenges.
Speaking during the 鈥淩aise the Flag鈥 celebration at Kamuzu Palace in Lilongwe, Chakwera said Malawi鈥檚 dream of achieving Agenda 2063 will only materialize if all citizens take ownership of the country鈥檚 development.
鈥淎s President, I鈥檝e become used to citizens pointing out problems and waiting for someone else to fix them鈥攐r offering solutions only on the condition that the government pays them,鈥 Chakwera said.
He challenged Malawians to rethink their roles:
鈥淓ach day, we must choose鈥攁re we part of the solution, or are we content to sit on the sidelines, arms folded, criticizing others?鈥
Chakwera didn鈥檛 mince words: 鈥淧ointing fingers might be easy and safe, but it鈥檚 useless. It doesn鈥檛 make you a patriot; it only makes you a finger-pointer.鈥
The President applauded Wealth Magazine for inspiring action by organizing citizens to commemorate Independence Day through community service and problem-solving.
鈥淲hen I heard that they were celebrating by doing something practical to fix problems in the country, I knew I had to meet these special citizens,鈥 he said, hailing their initiative as a model of true patriotism.
Chakwera鈥檚 message was clear: Malawi needs fewer critics and more contributors.
