Mahama spoke at a meeting with European Union partners on Tuesday. He talked about fairness and new ideas for fixing the economy. His administration promises to keep...

The Gender Ministry wants NGOs to work closer with government as donor money shrinks across Malawi. Chief Economist Clement Komwa spoke at the 2025 policy meeting about partnership rather than regulation. Many groups struggle with reports and lack knowledge about legal rules that guide their work.

Komwa said NGOs should see officials as partners working toward development goals together. The draft policy pushes for joint planning and monitoring to help both sides succeed. Regular meetings will help groups coordinate better during tough funding times. Government...

Parties that work with MCP might face voter anger over transparency issues. People want honest answers about what really happened to their leaders.

Malawi officials must help citizens stuck near war zones without waiting for rescue calls. The Information Minister said leaders want requests before acting on the Middle East crisis. Such delays could cost lives as fighting spreads between Israel and Iran. Malawi backed Israel at voting sessions which puts nationals at higher risk. Government teams should start rescue plans right away.
Israel killed top Iranian army chiefs which made tensions worse across the region. Iran supports Hamas and Hezbollah groups that launch attacks against Israeli targets. Both countries fire missiles at each other which threatens everyone living there. Foreign workers face the same dangers as local people during active combat. Malawi citizens deserve...
The World Bank told Malawi councils to pay back K1.3 billion that went missing from a social support project. Money reviews for two years showed spending problems and poor management across local governments. Teams from the bank worked with national finance groups to check where the money went.

Nsanje District Council must return K169.1 million after spending K166 million without any paperwork. Dedza District Council owes K93.1 million because it broke buying rules and used fake payment slips. Bank officials said the spending broke finance laws and...
Political expert George Chaima fears violence could break out during September elections. He points to deep splits between parties and lost public trust as danger signs. Recent primary elections and fights at the late vice president's memorial show growing tensions. Chaima warns these problems could explode without better democracy and strong police work. The country faces sharp political divisions that worry many observers.
Voters face pressure to sell their choices for money rather than pick leaders freely. This vote buying removes citizen voices and builds anger across communities. Chaima says democracy means more than just words but needs real practice. Police protect politicians instead of regular people which breaks down trust...
