APM to attend DPP youth meeting
Malawi President Peter Mutharika will today join Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Central Region youth wing in a celebrating two years since their leader was freed, according to chairperson of the wing, Lameck Malimba.
Malimba said the celebrations will commemorate the day the President was arrested by the administration of the former president Joyce Banda and charged him with treason.
Said Malimba: “We want to show our youths that anything is possible, the President, on a day like this one was in jail and today here he is with us. In life, one must never give up no matter how strong the storm might seem.”
He further said they will also hold a big walk to Lumbadzi Police Station, where the youths will paint the cell where the President stayed.
In 2013, Mutharika was arrested together with six other DPP members and charged with treason. The charges were later dropped when he became President.
