what did the networks mentioned in the article reply when the writer of this article asked them to comment ?
investigate from the consumers with references , report what the networks replies and then go to the government authorities get their answers. bring your findings to the CAM, compare with the govt acts eg laws on trading standards, policies, if there is fraud, corruption, exploitation, theft, cheating? we will sue them even going to international courts

Thanks very much Lowani for critical analysis. However, does the country have a vibrant Consumer Association of Malawi or MACRA or Competition and Fair Trade to protect the consumers. CAM only acts where its CEO will be bribed after making a lot of noise…otherwise we don’t need this CAMA. One tend to wonder why Airtel in Malawi is different to Airtel in East Africa. MACRA only works when it is pushed by politicians to close media houses in the country….SHAME. Otherwise this country lucks leaders who walk the talk. To borrow politicians words, this country is full of madeya PERIOD.… Read more »
