Leader of Opposition, Kondwani Nankhumwa has described the remarks by President Lazarus Chakwera that his job is not to lead the country, as disturbing and hopeless.
Chakwera made the remarks when he was officially opening Conference on Separation of Powers which is currently underway in Lilongwe.
In his remarks he said Malawians should not be expecting that he has powers to fulfill political promises.
However, Nankhumwa has said the remarks by Chakwera are disturbing noting that they have made Malawians hopeless that government will address socioeconomic challenges the citizens are facing.
Meanwhile Nankhumwa, has said what Chakwera said indicates that the country does not have anyone on the steering wheel to run the affairs of government.
The Leader of Opposition has since challenged Chakwera to take the responsibility of running government affairs and not to change the job description in the middle of the journey.
