Malawi Govt Denies President Mutharika is Ill: Meets Africa's Richest Man Dangote in US
 [All Africa] Malawi government has said President Peter Mutharika, currently in New York for UN General Assembly is in good health, dismissing an social media rumours that he suffered a cardiac arrest.Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Minister Francis Kasaila strongly dismissed the claims. He assured Malawians that Mutharika is enjoying good health in the United States. This was after the social media became awash with reports that Mutharika was down with cardiac arrests and others mentioned other ailments. However, there is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened... Kasaila said Mutharika was enjoying good health ever and was fullfilling his engagements. Rumors about Mutharika’s health are common but Kasaila who is also front man of the ruling Democratic Progressive Party , has described them as lies spread by opponents. Kasaila said Mutharika was "very strong and healthy," saying opponents are trying to deceive Malawi and cause despondency. This is the first time this year the government has chosen to respond to rumors. Kasaila downplays concerns about Mutharika’s health. The President, who is in his late 70’s, has shown signs of age. Early this year he was caught on camera by Malawi News tripping and falling down during tree planting season. Posted by: Fred 2016-09-21 |
