MCP’s Response To Maurice Munthali’s Resignation

MALAWI CONGRESS PARTY’S POSITION ON THE RESIGNATION OF REV MAURICE MUNTHALI

We refer to Rev Munthali’s resignation letter dated 1st March 2023, which we have seen on social media.

As the Malawi Congress Party, we are deeply saddened to hear that Rev. Maurice Munthali has resigned from his position as the National Publicity Secretary for the Party as well as Presidential Advisor on Peace, Reconciliation and National Unity. Rev. Munthali has been an asset to our team, and we are grateful for the contributions he has made over the years.

In his two separate letters of resignation, Rev Munthali cites governance challenges and alleged corruption as a basis for his resignation. As per His Excellency Dr. Lazarus Chakwera’s commitment to the fight against corruption, we urge Rev Munthali to bring forward any evidence of alleged corruption to relevant institutions to help fight the vice.

As a democratic institution, MCP upholds freedom of association (and impliedly dissociation).

The party would like to thank Rev. Munthali for his service in both capacities as National Publicity Secretary and Presidential Advisor and wish him success in his future endeavors – Hon Ezekiel Peter Ching’oma
