There is no question that the country needs Access to Public Information legislation, ATPIL or ATI, if you want. ATI is a key to transparency, accountability, responsiveness, and legitimacy. In fact, ATI would be a solution to most problems dogging our beautiful nation, Malawi, because it empowers the public to monitor their servants – those entrusted with leadership.

Mr Khanje on this you have goofed big time. If this is how you will act as Chairperson of Misa then you will bring Misa into disrepute. Public servants whom you call technocrats work under the directions of Ministers and the president. I assure… Read more »
I am also surprised that he is accusing the wrong people like that. You see now how hopeless you become when you allow your conscious to be compromised for cheap gains. You are now unable to face these politicians incase they remind you of the road you traveled together.
