In Malawi, Msusa urges people to speak out about public crises

Catholic Archbishop Thomas Luke Msusa is urging Malawians to denounce shortages of fuel and medicines in public services. He also announced a future pastoral letter, to be published when the time is right, according to MaraviPost.

Blantyre Archbishop Thomas Luke Msusa on Sunday urged Malawians to speak publicly about economic hardship and failings in public services rather than remain silent. He was speaking during a Mass at St Anthony of Padua Parish in Chinyonga, Blantyre, for the Feast of the Dedication of the Church, MaraviPost reports.

The prelate questioned the availability of foreign currency to import vehicles while fuel supplies remained difficult. He also denounced medicine shortages in the country, according to the same outlet.
