Malawi Parliament on Tuesday assured the safety of electoral materials of the 2019 tripartite elections after stormy winds destroyed part of its warehouse at Maone, Blantyre.

United Kingdom’s High Commissioner to Malawi, Holly Tett, has singled out Joseph Mwandinya, Principal Secretary in the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development, as an impressive example of civic courage and should be “rewarded as a professional civil servant doing a good job.”

President Arthur Peter Mutharika says Malawi has made tremendous progress in creating sufficient civic space and also in the protection and promotion of human rights.

President Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika has expressed sadness on the increased spate of violence perpetrated by the youth in the name of standing up for their rights as Malawi joins the global community in commemorating the International Human Rights Day, which falls on 10 December every year.
