Chakwera to address the nation today

President Lazarus Chakwera is today expected to address the nation on the widespread criticism surrounding his newly appointed ministerial cabinet.

 

Taking questions from the BBC Focus on Africa last evening, Chakwera maintained that his cabinet selection is all inclusive and merit based but was quick to mention that the feedback has been accepted.
