Mulli Praises Mutharika

Chairperson of Mulli Brothers Limited (MBL) Holdings, Mulli, has publicly endorsed the administration of President Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika, crediting the government with creating a stable and business-friendly economic environment capable of stimulating growth and employment.

Mulli made the remarks during a thanksgiving prayer service held at the company’s headquarters in Chigumula, Blantyre, where he emphasized the importance of collaboration between the private sector and government in efforts to stabilize and grow the national economy.

According to the business leader, a sound macroeconomic environment would allow major companies such as MBL Holdings to expand operations and create more employment opportunities for Malawians. “When the economy is stable, businesses can grow. That growth translates directly into more jobs for Malawians across all our companies,” Mulli said.

Mulli’s endorsement reflects growing confidence among sections of the private sector in the government’s economic policies, particularly those aimed at improving the investment climate, maintaining market stability, and supporting local industries. Analysts note that private-sector participation is key to economic recovery, especially in job creation and industrial growth.

MBL Holdings operates across multiple sectors, and its expansion has the potential to contribute significantly to employment and economic activity, particularly in urban and peri-urban areas.

Mulli reaffirmed his commitment to working closely with government authorities to support economic stabilization efforts, stressing that sustainable growth requires cooperation between policymakers and business leaders.

The thanksgiving service also took on a national tone, with Reverend Boniface Tamani offering prayers and well wishes for President Mutharika as he embarks on his second term in office. Speakers highlighted the need for wisdom and unity in steering the country’s economic direction.

The event drew several prominent figures, including Bishop Brighton Malasa, Dr. Ken Lipenga, a former Cabinet minister, Rev. Missie Spiki, Vice Synod Moderator, Rev. Jimmy Banda, Deputy General Secretary, Rev. Billy Gama, MBL Holdings’ Chaplain, as well as employees of MBL Holdings.

Observers say endorsements from leading business figures signal optimism about Malawi’s economic trajectory, with expectations that policy consistency, private investment, and job creation will play a central role in strengthening the economy in the coming years.
