for our democracy,
2:23
for our constitution,

for every Malawian

who believes

More than 5.5 million Malawians

Together
5:03
we build a movement
5:06
that has captured
5:08
the confidence
5:10
of the nation.
5:13
The media,
5:16
I thank you for your responsible
5:20
reporting
5:22
throughout the electoral period.
5:27
Your professionalism
5:31

5:34
and empower
5:36
the electorate
5:38
while

promoting
5:43
peace
5:45
and order.
5:47
Fellow Malawians,
5:50
the time for competition
5:54
has ended.
5:57
The time for cooperation
5:59
has begun.
6:02
Politics
6:03
has played its part.
6:06
Now the work of national transformation
6:11
must take center stage.
6:15
Today
6:16
I call upon every Malawian
6:20
regardless of region,
6:24
political party or background
6:28
join hands
6:32
as Richard
6:35
a new
6:36
path forward.
6:39
This is the moment to put aside
6:43
what divides us
6:46
and embrace what unites us.
6:51
One nation,
6:54
one people,
6:56
one destiny.
6:58
The challenges before us are real.
7:04
Our economy
7:06
must recover.
7:08
Food must be available
7:11
for everyone.
7:14
Jobs
7:16
must be created.
7:18
Our health care
7:21
and education systems
7:24
must be strengthened.
7:26
Infrastructure
7:28
must be improved.
7:31
And above all,
7:33
we must rebuild trust
7:36
in the public institutions.
7:43
But I have no doubt
7:47
we rise to the challenge
7:50
with unity, discipline,
7:53
and hard work.
7:56
I will move forward again.
7:59
And this time
8:01
we'll move forward
8:04
and together.
8:11
In the coming days,
8:14
we'll begin the transition process
8:19
and unveil our recovery
8:22
and development plans.
8:25
Our new administration
8:29
to reflect
8:31
our commitment
8:34
to prudence,
8:37
inclusion,
8:39
competence,
8:41
and delivery.
8:45
Let us begin this new chapter
8:49
with hope and humility
8:53
and with renewed purpose.
8:58
My want is possible.
9:02
Let us build it together.
9:07
Now I'm told
9:10
that there are a lot of things going on
9:13
in the government
9:16
by S7 servants and others.
9:19
Huge payments are being made.
9:22
Money is being transferred.
9:25
vehicles numbers have been changed
9:29
and dubious contracts are being honored,
9:33
dubious loans
9:36
are being given.
9:38
I want to warn those civil servants
9:41
who are doing this
9:44
that they must stop
9:47
and the politicians
9:50
who are facing this they must stop.
9:54
Uh we must rebuild this country
9:59
and this must stop. what they are doing
10:02
is illegal and criminal
10:05
and I know everything that's going on. I
10:09
have my eyes everywhere. I know. I know.
10:12
I know. I know.
10:15
And I can assure you
10:20
that when government, your answer, your
10:24
answer for the crimes
10:27
you have been committing the last
10:29
several days. So, you better stop while
10:33
you are ahead.
10:35
Otherwise,
10:37
you not like it.
10:50
was my last.
10:52
Anyway,
10:53
let us begin
10:56
this new chapter with hope,
11:00
with humility,
11:02
and with renewed purpose.
11:06
My want is possible.
11:10
Let us build together.
11:14
May God bless you.
11:18
May God bless
11:20
Malawi.
11:25
Thank you. God bless.
