In Malawi, Archbishop Msusa denounces inequalities in access to foreign currency
By the AFREEQUE newsroom, based on Nyasa Times
Blantyre Archbishop Thomas Luke Msusa denounced inequalities in access to foreign currency as Malawi faces fuel shortages and a lack of medicines in public hospitals. He urged Christians to speak out and said bishops would issue a pastoral letter at the appropriate time, according to Nyasa Times.
The Archbishop of Blantyre, Thomas Luke Msusa, rejected accusations that Malawi’s Catholic bishops had been paid to remain silent about the economic crisis. In his Missionary Sunday homily at St Anthony of Padua Parish, he said a pastoral letter would be issued at the appropriate time, Nyasa Times reports.
Msusa urged the faithful to speak out themselves about the country’s difficulties, arguing that bishops are not the only ones responsible for denouncing the government’s economic management. He particularly criticised inequalities in access to foreign currency, as cars are imported while queues form at petrol stations and hospitals lack medicines, according to the Malawian media outlet.
The remarks came the day after the archbishop called for public crises in Malawi to be denounced, in a report published on 18 October.
