Malawians have punched holes into President Peter Mutharika’s state of the nation address which he made today in Parliament told.
Mutharika used the address titled ‘Towards recovering and sustainable socio-economic development’ to disclose plans his government want to implement over the next 12 months.
Peter Mutharika ought to do a lot of soul searching. You can't, as president, have a state of the nation that is virtually ignored #SONA2016

The Malawi leader also touched on several issues including the fight against corruption, the Lake Malawi wrangle, and the country’s dwindling economy.
But observers were not impressed with the address, describing it as empty and saying it lacked any new plans.
One of Malawi’s social commentators Idriss Ali Nassah took to Twitter to urge the president to assess his presidency after such a flat speech.
“Peter Mutharika ought to do a lot of soul searching. You can’t, as president, have a state of the nation that is virtually ignored,” tweeted Nassah.
Another Malawian @Kaykintu dissected Mutharika’s speech saying the president was speaking about the same issues he presented two years ago.
“This speech is full of things people were told in 2014. Nothing new,” he tweeted.
Tells you everything that is wrong with Malawi. Peter is a disinterested leader & people are not interested in him https://t.co/zH5JDyhHI2

Malawi is being led by aleader who was born not lead
Mukhaula muwona
Mutharika bashed for singing same old song of 2014 by people with crippled brains who have no clue on how a human being can survive in the midst of hardship. Very certain that such people would have been resting in their graves had Malawi’s economy got as far as Zimbabwe’s.

and what shud we do?
Which people are not interested in him? This is a fallacy, it is a false generalisation. If you are not interested do not put up such a sweeping statement that people are not; it is you who is not.
it seems you guys have run out of news to report … no one can say things that pleases every soul.
He’s a piece of sh*t
