In what can only be described as political theatre at its laziest, the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has unveiled a 2025 manifesto that reads less like a development blueprint and more like a desperate copy and paste job from the ruling Malawi Congress Party (MCP)’s already-launched plan. Yet this is the same party that let the rail network rot, preferring trucking firms owned by loyal financiers. Bus Terminals: From Selling to SavingThe DPP government sold off bus terminals in Lilongwe, Mzuzu, Blantyre, and Kasungu to their financier. DPP now dares to promise “modern terminals” again—no mention of their sell-off scandal. Now they’ve copied MCP’s work, added glitter, and called it “vision.” But Malawians deserve better than recycled promises and repackaged lies.
