The influential Malawi Catholic Bishops have attacked the leadership of the opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP0 for spending their time fighting amongst themselves instead of serving Malawians.
The censor has been included in a Pastoral Letter released on Sunday which has not also spared governing in its censure.
“We watch with dismay the continuous squabbles that are being manifested in the political parties. What is seen are continuous fights that either end in circles of expulsions of members from parties or court injunctions and cases. In our view, these are actions that are driving democracy backwards and have the potential to throw this country into chaos and further dehumanizing poverty.
“Are these individuals or groupings fighting for an opportunity to serve the interest of Malawians or to forge opportunities to take up advantageous positions and satisfy their own interests? Malawians are crying out for political parties that put the interests of the nation before their own interests,” reads the letter in part.
