President Peter Mutharika has appealed to people to enjoy responsibly during the festive season and to refrain from any conduct that may lead to accident or loss of life.

Mutharika made the appeal on Saturday evening upon arrival at Chikoko Bay where the President and the First Lady, Madame Professor Gertrude Mutharika, are going to spend their festive season holiday.

“I wish you all a nice time during the festive season as we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ and the New Year,” said Mutharika.

He added: “My appeal to you all is that you should enjoy responsibly; do not be carried away to the extent of drinking irresponsibly; let’s avoid accidents and deaths caused by irresponsible conduct during the season.”
