By James Banda

Information and Digitalization Minister, Gospel Kazako has urged the newly licensed mobile phone company, MALCEL to comply with telecommunication laws that regulate the sector.

Kazako made the call on Thursday evening in Blantyre when the Malawi Communication Regulatory Authority -MACRA was authorizing Sustainable Development Networking Programme(SDN) as manager for Country Code Top Level Domain.

The Minister said any non-compliance will land the new mobile phone operator in trouble.

“You have to know that you have entered the regulated space; which means you have to abide by the laws there. Any non-compliance, the story will change,” he said.



He further asked the company to speed up its operations so that it rolls out its operations soon.

MARCEL Chief Executive Officer, Boniface Ndawala said their company would strive at delivering the best in as far as communication is concerned in the country.

Ndawala also said MALCEL would create well paying jobs to people, that’s on top of complying with all the required fees it has to meet.

The company becomes the sixth in telecommunication sector.
