President Lazarus Chakwera is a scared man. With mutiny brewing in his own party, his administration imploding under its own incompetence and impending by-elections in the Lower Shire, Chakwera had no choice but to dash off to Ngabu to pay last respects to his party’s financier the late Sidik Mia one month after his death. This is the man he chose to denigrate in his death. He could send not even one delegate to his funeral. From Blantyre to his grave in Ngabu, Mia went like a common man, uncelebrated and unmourned by the party he helped into power and by a man who he catapulted into presidency.
