United Transformation Movement leader Dalitso Kabambe addressed supporters in Zomba regarding his vision for national economic development. The presidential candidate emphasized that strategic focus on mining operations, tourism initiatives, and agricultural advancement could transform Malawi into a prosperous nation. Kabambe referenced historical comparisons, noting that when Malawi achieved independence in 1964, the country possessed greater wealth than China. He attributed the current economic decline to leadership failures that have reduced Malawi to one of the world's poorest nations. The politician observed that many citizens continue living in traditional grass-thatched housing due to widespread poverty.
Kabambe highlighted Malawi's abundant natural resources as foundations for future prosperity. He pointed to Lake Malawi's oil reserves, the scenic Zomba and Mulanje mountain ranges, established national parks, and untapped gold deposits as economic opportunities. The UTM leader argued that proper utilization of these assets could elevate Malawi above many other countries in terms of wealth generation. He called upon voters to support his party during the September 16 elections to achieve economic transformation. Kabambe promised that UTM governance would enable citizens to achieve financial independence.
The candidate addressed challenges facing religious institutions across the country. He observed that many churches experience financial difficulties because their congregations consist primarily of economically disadvantaged members. Kabambe pledged to implement policies ensuring churches achieve economic sustainability and self-sufficiency. He declared that UTM leadership would commence national economic reconstruction immediately following the September elections. The upcoming tripartite elections will determine presidential, parliamentary, and local government representatives.
