The Malawi government’s spokesperson Moses Kumkuyu says has received the pastoral letter penned by the Catholic Bishops in the country with appreciation, wisdom and humility.
The pastoral letter has punched holes in Lazarus Chakwera’s administration which unlike the former ruling DPP regime used to attack the Bishops when they release such acidic filled letters.
“We acknowledge some cited challenges and remain determined to use the bishops’ wisdom to continue building on the progress the country is making. We also trust that we will continue praying for each other and our beloved country, Malawi.
“As government, we will not engage in item by item response with the clergy in public. Instead, we will not get tired utilizing the engagements that we do have with the clergy from time to time,” said Kumkuyu in a statement.
