The government stopped all business papers for Kaunjika shops. Ms. Christina Zakeyo from the Trade Ministry told all shop owners they must ask for new papers. This rule starts right away. The government wants everyone to follow the rules. People who do not listen will face trouble with the law.
Many sellers in Lilongwe walked in the streets because they felt angry. These days, things cost a lot of money, and people want the government to help make them cost less.
The government did not help fix the real money problems when it took away the shop papers, which made sellers even more upset. The sellers think the government does not care about what they need. They believe the government wants to hurt them instead of helping them.
Mr. Ben Phiri from Thyolo Central says the government led by Mr. Chakwera has done a very bad job. He thinks giving them five more years would be awful. He believes they might hurt many people in Malawi.
Mr. Phiri talked in parliament yesterday. He said people feel much pain because the money system has broken down. The leaders do not fix the big problems facing everyone.
"This government has failed very badly," Mr. Phiri said. "People suffer a lot. We can't let them stay for five more years. That would cause even more pain for everyone."

The Social Health Authority says private hospitals need to fix their mistakes. Mr. Robert Ingasira from SHA believes these hospitals ask for the wrong amounts of money. He said the hospitals do not know how to use the payment system properly. SHA wants to teach the hospitals how to send correct payment forms.
People in Kenya pay part of their money to SHA. Then, SHA tells hospitals to help sick people without asking for money right away. The hospitals ask SHA for money later. SHA should pay them after 90 days. Many private hospitals stopped helping SHA patients because they did not receive their money. These sick people must pay with cash.
About 500 private hospitals belong to the Rupha group. Mr. Ingasira told sick people they can...
The WHO FCTC helps people stay healthy by making rules about smoking. Kenya joined this agreement in 2004. The rules tell companies they must put big pictures on cigarette boxes showing how smoking hurts people. The rules also say people cannot smoke inside buildings and make cigarettes cost more money.
Dr. Tedros says tobacco makes many people sick. He wants all countries to follow these rules. Before these rules, more people smoked cigarettes. After twenty years of these rules, fewer people smoke. This saves many lives.
Many countries make companies put warning pictures on cigarette boxes. Some countries do not let companies make cigarette boxes look pretty. These plain boxes help people remember smoking is bad for them. Many places...
The government will give more money to people who need help. Mr. Mwaura said they plan to raise the money from 3.52 billion shillings to 15 billion shillings by June 2027. Many more people will join this program in the next few years. Right now 1.7 million people receive help, but soon 2.5 million people will benefit.
Mr. Mwaura told everyone the money always comes on time. The government pays these people even before it pays workers, which helps people live better lives. President Ruto decided these payments should go through mobile phones from this time forward.
The government made this change because some bad things happened with bank payments before. People only need a phone card with mobile money to get their 2,000 shillings each...
