One of the country’s activists has applauded President Peter Mutharika for keeping his promise of a 20 member cabinet.

The president reshuffled his cabinet on Thursday and Allan Chiyembekeza, who was fired as agriculture, irrigation and water development minister, was the only casualty.

The activist, Billy Banda who is Malawi Watch executive director said he is glad that the president maintained the lean cabinet.

”President Mutharika has lived up to his promise as he has maintained his 20 member cabinet and this shows that he has maintained the spirit of professionalism,” said Banda.

He added that the president is also showing the spirit of honesty and integrity by delivering what the people want.

He claimed that this is evidenced by the nod the International Monetary Fund has given Malawi over its extended Credit Facility.

“The donors are confident that the president is managing the country well,” said Banda

According to Banda, Mutharika believes in serving Malawians and wants Malawi to achieve a lot.

He then advised the cabinet ministers to live up to the needs of Malawians because that is what Mutharika wants.
