When I Took Over, The Economy Had

When I Took Over, The Economy Had Almost Collapsed. I Told Malawians We Needed To Pass Through Difficult Times. Two Days Ago I Even Cut My Own Salary By 30% To Show We Are Making Sacrifices.

I Have Chosen To Fight Against Corruption In This Country, Though I Have Been Advised Not To Because We Are Drawing Closer To This Year’s Tripartite Elections. I Know I Am Fighting Against People Who Are Smarter, Wealthier And Advanced.

My Dear Husband, Richard, Has Been The Driving Force Behind My Success And Rise To Whatever Level I Am Now. My Story And Legacy Is Incomplete Without His Mention.

What I Have Said To My Team Is That At A Point Such As This, With 40% Adjustment In Our Currency, It Means That Malawians Are Paying The Price. While That Is Going On, They Need To See, Us, The Commitment On Our Part, Particularly Right At The Top. The Political Will Needs To Go Through This With The People, Side By Side.

It Is Only When A Woman Is Economically Empowered That She Can Negotiate At Household Level With Her Husband About The Number Of Children That Body Of Hers Can Have.
