NBS Bank has made a contribution of K300 million towards the 55th Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) Africa Region Conference and Annual General Meeting, which is currently underway in Lilongwe.
Speaker of Parliament Sameer Suleman said the support will go along way in covering the financial gap and help Malawi as a country conduct a successful conference.
The bank is a subsidiary of Nico Group.
Nico Group Chief Executive Officer, Vizenge Kumwenda, expressed hope that the contribution will help make a difference in ensuring that the conference is a success.
Kumwenda also called on Parliament to use the event to market Malawi to potential investors.
The gathering is one of Africa’s Premier Parliamentary meetings providing a platform to deliberate on issues affecting democratic governance, legislative effectiveness, parliamentary oversight just to mention a few.
It is being held under the theme: Renewing the social contract: Parliaments as catalysts for inclusive growth and citizen trust.
