Political analyst Thomas Chirwa has criticized a recent press briefing held by a group of faith leaders, citing a lack of clarity that undermined their message.

Chirwa specifically pointed out the group’s failure to identify the specific churches they represented, diminishing the credibility of their pronouncements.

Chirwa also defended Archbishop Thomas Luke Msusa’s involvement in national discourse, emphasizing his right to freedom of expression.

“Everyone has the right to express their opinions, especially on important national matters,” Chirwa stated, underscoring the importance of open dialogue in a democracy.

Beyond the issue of faith leaders’ pronouncements, Chirwa raised critical questions regarding a recent incident involving a plane that reportedly arrived in Mzuzu but did not land.

He questioned the chain of communication, asking, “Who informed the President about the plane that arrived in Mzuzu but didn’t land, and who gave the army commander the wrong information about the plane crashing in a forest?”

The analyst’s comments come amidst growing public concern about government transparency and the appropriate role of religious leaders in public affairs.

Chirwa’s critique calls for greater openness and accountability in the handling of national issues, urging both faith leaders and government officials to be more transparent in their communications with the public.
