In a troubling incident, parents have abandoned their one-month-old baby at Thyolo District Hospital, citing their inability to care for the child due to financial difficulties.

According to police spokesperson Sergeant Rebecca Kashoti, the baby was found crying near a motorcycle parking area close to the pediatric ward. Kashoti reported that a note was discovered with the baby, which detailed the parents’ predicament. The note stated, “As the parents of this child, we are unable to care for him due to financial challenges. Please, anyone who wishes to help is welcome to take care of him as if he were their own… His name is Glory, but you may choose to rename him.”



Sergeant Kashoti added that they have already contacted local social services to find a suitable solution for the baby’s care.

Fanuel Makina, spokesperson for the district health office, has confirmed the situation and assured that efforts are underway to ensure the child’s welfare is properly addressed.

Mvalo sounds alarm on MPs corruption


By Chisomo Phiri

Minister of Justice Titus Mvalo has expressed grave concern over reports of corruption and bribery involving Members of Parliament(MPs), warning that such malpractices could compromise the integrity of the country’s laws.

Mvalo has urged the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) to investigate these allegations to ensure accountability and integrity within the legislative process.

Mvalo



He was responding to a question from a participant at the ongoing Civic Space Dialogue in Lilongwe, referencing a story published in Saturday’s Weekend Nation.

The story alleged that some MPs claim to receive financial inducements to either pass or reject Bills in the August House.

Mvalo described the allegations as “unfortunate” and emphasized that such actions border on corruption and bribery, which could undermine the legitimacy of the legislative process.

He stressed the importance of upholding the highest standards of integrity and accountability in governance.
