Malawians have disagreed with the United States government for praising President Lazarus Chakwera as an economic engineer as economy falls down.
United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken lauded President Lazarus Chakwera for taking a painful corrective economic decisions that will help Malawi in the long term.
His remarks came after the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) described Malawi one of the best economic performers.
However, Malawians have disagreed, saying Chakwera introduced such as the 25 percent devaluation of the Malawi Kwacha that have left many Malawians suffering together with the rising of goods and services.
“Thank you, US government, for being happy with economic crisis in Malawi so that we can suffer more,” said a commenter on Facebook post about Blinken’s remarks.
Another commenter said: “This is not to all Malawians. Especially the poorest who stays in rural areas and are struggling to put food on the table. God forgive Americans.”
In a survey which was conducted on Twitter, 84 percent of those who voted described the economy as dipping under President Lazarus Chakwera.
