HARDtalk’s Zeinab Badawi speaks to Vice President of the small
southern African state of Malawi, Saulos Chilima- a former
business executive turned politician. Mr. Chilima was President
Mutharika’s running mate in elections in 2014. Now he has left
the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), and says he will
run against him in presidential elections next year to - as he
put it - ‘save the country from destruction and corruption’. Why
is he criticising a government of which he still is a member? And
if corruption is really as bad as he describes, why didn’t the
Vice-President use his influence to stop the rot?
