Malawians marking Independence Day have been reminded that freedom must go beyond celebration and translate into national progress and unity.
This was the message as Vice President Jane Mayumu Ansah joined President Arthur Peter Mutharika and First Lady Gertrude Mutharika in commemorating Independence Day, urging the nation to draw lessons from the unity, courage, and sacrifice that secured Malawi’s freedom.
“As we celebrate the freedom won through the unity, courage, and sacrifice of those who came before us, let us renew our commitment to working together for the continued progress and prosperity of our nation,” Ansah urges.
She has urged Malawians to work together in driving development and prosperity, stressing that the true meaning of independence lies in building a stronger and self-reliant nation.
Her call for unity echoes Mutharika’s Independence Day message earlier today, where he emphasized that Malawians can achieve their shared vision of an economically independent country with fairly distributed wealth.
“I am confident that working together, we will achieve our dream of making Malawi an economically independent country, with equitably shared wealth. I call upon every Malawian to join hands in this effort,” said Mutharika.
Mutharika said Independence Day this year will be observed differently, with public celebrations replaced by prayers only, as government redirects funds meant for festivities towards economically productive areas aimed at reducing poverty.
Mutharika further said he eyes a transformed Malawi where economic independence replaces dependence, stressing that his administration remains committed to creating a conducive environment for investment, job creation, and long-term national prosperity.
