Citizens filed a complaint against Malawi Broadcasting Corporation with media regulators. Edwards Kambanje and Oliver Nakoma lead the group demanding action from MACRA. They say MBC director George Kasakula allows biased political content on air. The station favors the ruling party and attacks opposition leaders unfairly. Public broadcasting should serve all people equally without taking sides.
The petition targets a controversial show called Timvetse for spreading propaganda. Citizens claim the program spreads false information and silences different viewpoints. MBC receives taxpayer money but acts like a political tool instead of serving everyone. The complaint warns that biased coverage could cause civil unrest across communities. MACRA has seven days to respond or face criticism for supporting bad broadcasting.
The petitioners want Kasakula fired from his job at MBC immediately. They demand officials cancel or ban the Timvetse program permanently. Citizens say MACRA must act quickly to protect democratic values in media. The case tests whether regulators will stand up to political pressure from government. Public institutions need to maintain professional standards and serve citizens fairly.
