Lean Cabinet in The Offing
President Lazarus Chakwera says he will announce a new configuration of his cabinet this month.
In his Presidential New Year address, Chakwera says the cabinet will be a lean, focusing on delivery.
“Today, I wish to inform you that the new configuration is at an advanced stage, and so as was the case with the last reshuffle last January, my office will be announcing a new configuration of Cabinet this January,” Chakwera said.
Chakwera admits that in the just ended year, Malawians faced financial pain, with high cost of food items, fuel shortage, electricity challenges and slowing down of business.
He said there have been efforts such as coming up with austerity measures, and securing funds has stopped the economy from falling.
The president says the pain has been endured by all nations.
