Malawi President Peter Mutharika’ arrival from his trip to the United States of America has brought in a lot of controversy as government now seems to dodge the media.

Upon arrival from the United Nations General Assembly, President Mutharika promised to hold a press conference after a day or two but it has been several days and nothing seems to be happening.

Some quarters faulted government for taking a bloated delegation to the US, saying government is taking Malawians for granted as the country is facing a lot of problems such as hunger which is expected to affect over 2.8 million people.

Previously, Minister of Foreign Affairs George Chaponda said government did not pay for the whole 100-plus delegation as some were paid for by their respective organisations, others supported by the UN and some on their own.
