Chihana Upbeat on SME’s as Bedrock of Economic Growth

Blue Alliance Second Vice President, Enoch Kamzingeni Chihana says Malawi must fully unlock entrepreneurial potential by having a razor- sharp focus government that will prioritize SME’s as an engine that will accelerate economic growth.

He was speaking this evening after visiting the Luwinga market in the City of Mzuzu. In his remarks, he said time has come for Malawi to forge a new consensus to confront a new reality, a consensus that unites Malawians behind shared determination to reform the economy and rebuild the institutions.

“Your incoming government will pursue a number of initiatives to bolster the SME’s sector and am asking you not to take off the pedal. The government of President Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika through its manifesto has made inclusive growth and job creation our apex priority and we want our vendors to be key players in our economy

“Micro, small and medium enterprises and cooperatives together form a vital part of our economy with immense growth potential. Whether they are small businesses in townships or cooperatives in rural areas, whether they are well established or just starting out, these businesses are integral to the future of our economy,” said Chihana.

Later, he was joined by the AFORD shadow MP for the area, Paul Nthambazale Nyirenda and urged them to cast the vote for him and Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika.
