President Peter Mutharika says there is no time to waste for the cabinet ministers as Malawians wait for immediate action on socio-economic challenges choking the country.
The President said this at the BICC in Lilongwe during the swearing-in of his newly appointed cabinet ministers.
The President said he is looking forward to immediate action from the ministers, saying Malawians who have voted this government into power want development beyond mere rhetoric, but development which can be seen and felt.
"I don't want you to be coming to the office at 10 am and knocking off at 2 pm. If you do that, you know what will happen to you," he said.
The President has also directed the newly sworn-in Attorney General (AG), Frank Mbeta, to review some government contracts to ensure they are safeguarded by the public interest.
Chief Secretary to the Government and Cabinet, Justin Saidi, says the cabinet members will be allowed only three international trips annually, except for special occasions, as part of government austerity measures.
