This was long overdue. Actually Britain, USA and all these developed countries use these tools in their regulatory agencies. The problem here are these operators mostly Indians who are used to reaping Malawi off . They managed to hoodwink some greedy lawyers and politicians to create a false story about spying when it checks and verifies telecommunications traffic and hence revenue. All along the operators declare their traffic without us verifying and government has lost millions in tax revenues. Trick yake ndi imene amafuna kugwiritsa ntchito ku MRA, fortunately it has failed. Praise God for this ruling. Zikuoneka kuti mbava… Read more »

I totally agree with this judgement for 3 reasons.Thieves,robbers will be exposed and reduced.Secondly,phone operators will stop stealing from the public.Thirdly, it will bring discipline among phone users.Maphias use good law as shield for their evil dids.Am 100% sure that those who are against this judgement are maphias.They simply use freedom of privacy as the shield.We good people will stand and fight you to the very end.This the war betwwen good people and evil people.Do KNOW you that robbers who terrorising people are using phones.OPEN YOU EYES AND SEE.

The politician who rushed to broke the usage of CIRMS,might raise suspicion taking into consideration the outburst raised by his party rascals about hacked partyelectoral handset.At the same time one may conclude that,the late former head of state was acting within stipulations of Malawian constitution by authorising procurement of the CIRMS as supreme court has vindicate him,2yr after his death.

Malawians are very dull, to the point of stupidity. The Machine you call spy machine, is amachine that is used to calculate how much providers like Airtel owe to the country. If you call say USA, you will be using transmitters in different countries, and Malawi pays for those servises Visa versa. So this machine calculates accuratelly haw much is owed to whom. As of now Airtel and others are sitting on huge amounts which should by right go to the state. Why do you think there are competions by airtel giving millions as prises, sponsoring this and that. It… Read more »

Can MACRA please ask Malawians to register their phone lines. We really need to jaxk up our intelligent system. This system of buying simcards at will and anywhere is not good. It does no reflect our seriousness to deal with issues of security and terrorism. Please MACRA this should be considered.

Great idea but the major setback would be identification. Malawi doesn’t have national IDs so what would we use? Only a very small fraction of Malawians have passports/ drivers licenses. Voter cards? How many registered to vote & how many still keep their cards?

Firstly we need to put our house in order & have national IDs. I hear ajawa anadya ndalama zake & the project stalled.

I support ur idea. Many countries dont buy sim cards like here in malawi where one can just drop and buy at a market. Thats insecurity at its best. We need to be registered, use our IDs like licence, passports etc inorder to get a sim card. We are not secured at all here. MACRA go ahead using that machine, its our own safety. So mutani nayeno the fired CEO popeza it was because of this issue?
