Editorial: Nyalonje’s resignation is another symbol of Chakwera’s leadership inertia which is holding Malawi hostage

President Lazarus Chakwera’s failure to promptly accept Minister Agnes Makonda Nyalonje’s resignation is just one in a string of glaring examples of indecision and lethargy that have come to define his presidency.

This delay is symptomatic of a leadership style that prioritizes procrastination over progress, leaving Malawi adrift in a sea of unaddressed crises.

It is time for Chakwera to demonstrate political acumen, dismantle the elite-driven setup, and appoint a campaign Cabinet that resonates with ordinary Malawians.
