When Mutharika appears in public, it is to perform a really important task that can only be done by the Head of State such as officially opening a session of Parliament, presiding over Independence Anniversary celebrations, swearing in of his Cabinet ministers and welcoming foreign leaders, among other rare public appearances he has squeezed in. President Mutharika has shown that he understands the meaning of delegation, dispatching his vice Saulosi Chilima where other presidents would have rushed in and sending ministers in some cases to represent him. This is a breath of fresh air that must be encouraged and I hope he continues on this path. Of course, the expectation is that the President spends most of his time in office working hard for Malawians, not taking frequent naps throughout the day and merely chatting up his new wife as doing so would be worse than his predecessors’s daily road shows.
