President Peter Mutharika has reiterated the need for the church to continue transforming souls of Malawians and helping government in developing the country.

The Malawi leader was speaking in Mzuzu at the consecration ceremony of Bishop John Ryan as Bishop for Mzuzu Diocese.

The president said the church is expected to transform souls as well as teach people to be patriotic, hardworking, and to have integrity.

“’As a church we expect you to transform our society as well as helping government in developing the country,” said the Malawi leader.

He also urged the church to help government in ending corruption as the country cannot develop when its people are involved in rampant corruption.

Mutharika then hailed the Catholic Church for the big role it plays in developing the nation in the sectors of education and health as well as in economic empowerment of Malawians.

Bishop John Ryan was appointed in April as the Bishop of Mzuzu diocese after the death of Bishop Joseph Nkasa Zuza who died last year in a car accident.

The Bishop has served as a missionary in several areas in the northern region and before he was appointed Bishop of Mzuzu he was working as chaplain at Mzuzu University where he was also a lecturer of Mathematics.

  1. If this thief has nothing wise to tell the nation ,should just kp quite.should the pastors transform ministers on 500 billion cashgate?

  2. All that i would rather wish to happen is for him to shun frm evils and follow righteous by settng an example on other governmental issues lyk that of corruption… mind u if u ont favours from God do others favour too..

  4. Sometimes ithink this doesn’t make sense,transformation is one,s choice,you don’t force them,you preach to them its their duty to take it or live it,action is also needed,while the aChurch is doing its part,the Prezdent and those in authority should do their part,you are hiding each other that doesn’t need the Church to preach to you to bring those ministers to book

  9. Kodi amipingo angathandize chani? ndalama za amalawi mukuba mopanda chisoni nde mukufuna akatani? anthu oipa zedi inu.MULUNGU achitananu mwapadela. mavoti kuba ndalamaso kubaso? mbava tsapano mukufuna amatchalitchi kuti mulape? mukugwa chagada mu 2019 .

  22. Kkkkkkkk now your talking but don’t tell them what to do, let the church readers who really recern from above tell you what God wants you to do to transform this country and don’t argue with them even if it means loose your readership because God’s way is different no school is involved.
