Reverend Moses Nkhana from the Mzimba Youth Organization praised a court decision made Monday about development funds. The Constitutional Court ruled that 2022 rules for the Constituency Development Fund and Water Resource Fund break the law.

This creates serious problems for honest government operations.
Judges found that giving MPs control over local development money violates the separation of powers principle. Lawmakers must focus on making laws and checking government work rather than running fund programs. The court ordered immediate changes to remove...

A parliamentary committee wants the government to give monthly payments to adults aged 19 through 59. These people cannot receive any government help unless they live with disabilities.

Trump told reporters he wants to become pope and believes he runs both America and the world.

Evil spirits would teach and guide this wicked ruler throughout his life. The Antichrist would claim to be God and persecute faithful...
