Mr President you are leading a very worried nation. For a while now the good people of Malawi have been complaining about the way you are running government and your apparent lack of respect for them. These are the people who voted for you, not once, but twice.
They had hoped that you would remain good to your campaign promises and reinforce the very African tenets of Ubuntu - human rights and democracy. When any national leader suppresses these he is essentially taking away the people's right to life. From reports coming out of Malawi, it is clear that you have lost sight of why you became president. We are hearing that you do not take kindly to constructive criticism. You have also become indignant and disrespectful of your people and recently you said you do not understand them. You believe the international community appreciates your 'good works' better than Malawians. No leader can afford to question the intelligence of his people. You are not president of the international community but of Malawi. Your people cannot just take to hating you, as you appear to imagine. Certainly the wisdom of one man cannot be greater than that of millions of his countrymen and women.
