Banthu Times: "It is now unbecoming behaviour for a whole president like Peter Mutharika to be exhibiting complete obsession with the name of Dr Joyce Banda. It seems every time he is faced with a crisis he resorts to hallucinating that it is Dr Joyce Banda’s fault. No this sort of delusion from a head of state must stop and he must now move on to chase his own demons which are failure to lead by example and committing abuses of government resources/ corporate theft then blaming others."
