Coordinator of Chairpersons in parliament,Joyce Chitsulo,has stressed the need for legislators to establish a legal framework that supports the adoption of digital trade protocols in the country.

Speaking on behalf of Speaker Catherine Gotani Hara at a one-day African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Digital Training Protocol Sensitization Workshop on Saturday, Chitsulo emphasized the importance of enacting laws that support digital trade within Malawi and across Africa.

“It is crucial for us to align with global digital trade practices as most activities are now conducted electronically and digitally,” Chitsulo said.

She also highlighted the role of lawmakers in advocating for increased funding to facilitate digital marketing initiatives and ensure constituencies benefit from these endeavors.

Chitsulo commended the Malawi Communication Regulatory Authority (MACRA) for its efforts to provide internet connectivity in all constituency Community Day Secondary Schools, noting that this initiative will bolster digital trade in the country.

“As members of parliament, we are committed to raising awareness in our constituencies about the significance of digital trade.

“Despite challenges with internet connectivity, the government, through MACRA, is executing projects like the ‘connect to a school’ initiative, which will support digital trade implementation,” she said.

In her opening remarks, Secretary for Trade and Industry Christina Zakeyo hailed the workshop as a significant milestone in ensuring Malawi’s active participation in the AfCFTA framework and maximizing its benefits.

Zakeyo highlighted that adopting the digital trade protocol will provide Malawi with continental agreements, offering a platform to embrace digital trade practices that can unlock new economic opportunities, enhance business competitiveness, and increase citizen engagement in the digital economy.

In a surprise move, the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has announced a list of new appointments to various positions within the party.

The appointments, which take immediate effect, have raised eyebrows as they include individuals who contested for positions during the party’s recent convention but lost.

According to a press release signed by the DPP’s National Publicity Secretary and Presidential Spokesperson, the party has appointed Clement Mwale as Presidential Advisor on Political Affairs, Hon George Chaponda as Presidential Advisor on Policy Development, Chimwemwe Chipungu as Presidential Advisor on Organisation, Jean Mathanga as Presidential Advisor on Election Management, Charles Mhango as Presidential Advisor on Legal Affairs, Dayton Mussa as Presidential Advisor on Youth, Aaron Sangala as Presidential Advisor on Operations, and Everton Chimulirenji as Presidential Advisor on Campaign.

What is striking about these appointments is that all the individuals appointed had contested for various positions during the DPP’s convention held in Blantyre on August 18-19 but lost to their fellow contenders through a secret ballot.

Despite their defeat, the party has seen fit to give them a second chance, appointing them to various positions within the party.

The party has congratulated the appointees on their new roles, saying they are well-deserved.

However, some have questioned the criteria used to select the appointees, arguing that it undermines the democratic process within the party.

The appointments have sparked mixed reactions within the party, with some members expressing surprise and disappointment that those who lost during the convention have been given positions.

Others have welcomed the move, saying it is a demonstration of the party’s commitment to inclusivity and diversity.

As the party gears up for the upcoming elections, the appointments are seen as a strategic move to strengthen the party’s machinery.

However, it remains to be seen how the appointees will work together with those who won during the convention to achieve the party’s goals.

The press release has also advised the appointees to support the party with diligence and avoid gossiping or backbiting, a clear indication that the party is aware of the potential for infighting and divisions within the party.

The DPP’s new appointments have raised questions about the party’s commitment to democracy and inclusivity.

While the appointees have been given a second chance, it remains to be seen how they will navigate their new roles and work together with their fellow party members to achieve the party’s goals.

Family Planning Association of Malawi (FPAM) on Friday  took sexual reproductive health services to Dzaleka Refugee Camp to help prevent unplanned pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases around the camp.

Speaking in an interview during the Dafi bonanza, Yusuf Kaisi of Dowa Youth Action Movement under FPAM said Sexual Reproductive Health services were vital to help fight Sexually Transmitted Infections.

He said: ” We believe that where may people gather  chances of sexual activities cannot be ruled out and hence we decided to take our services closer  to the people so that they  remain protected .”

Kaisi said it was imperative that the youths in camp are reached with sexual reproductive health services to protect them from contracting STIs and unplanned pregnancies.

During the event the organisation  conducted blood tests, distributed condoms and also offered some counselling services.

One of the youths at the camp, Terezah Iriho, said the services have come at the right time saying they would help prevent further spread of STIs and unplanned pregnancies.

She then appealed to the organisation to have its footprint to hard-to-reach areas where he said such services were also needed the most.

By Twink Jones Gadama

Uladi Mussa, who has made it to MCP NEC through an appointment has urged Malawians to be cautious of political parties that make false promises, saying they will not bring meaningful development to the country.

Speaking at a rally held at Top 10 ground in Kalonga, Salima, Mussa emphasized that MCP is committed to bringing about real change and development to Malawi, unlike other parties that only make empty promises.



Mussa’s remarks come as MCP intensifies its campaign ahead of the next year’s tripartite elections.

The party’s campaign is centered around bringing about meaningful development and change to Malawi, and Mussa’s message resonated with the crowd that gathered to listen to him.

MCP’s president secretary General Richard Chimwendo Banda, was also in attendance at the rally, where he outlined the party’s vision for Malawi’s future.

Other notable figures present included Jessie Kabwira, MCP’s Publicity secretary and Steven Malondera, the party’s youth director.

Mussa’s statement is seen as a direct attack on opposition parties that have been accused of making false promises to win votes.

With its message of meaningful development and change, the party is likely to appeal to many Malawians who are eager for a better future.

Uladi Mussa’s statement is a clear indication of MCP’s commitment to bringing about real change and development to Malawi.

As the country heads to the polls, Malawians will have to decide which party to trust with their future.

With its message of hope and development, MCP is likely to be a strong contender in the upcoming elections.
