This bill is long overdue. The government has 3 branches for checks and balances. Who checks and balances the CSO? The government gets into power legitimately through the ballot, how do the CSOs gain legitimacy?

There is no democracy without responsibility and accountability. If NGOs do whatever they do on behalf of Malawians, then they must be required to account to the same Malawians and this is what the law demands. I don’t see any problem with this law. The problem with many people is that they think DPP will be the government forever. DPP is not government. It has to win the elections to be the govenment. Otherwise any political party can form a government. So, let’s trade carefully. We can’t call this beautiful regulation a draconian law. Mind you, all mature democracies have… Read more »

CSO’s need regulation. If you got nothing to hide why fear regulation. We cant have the likes of Fryson Chodzi and other such CSOs for hire going around collecting money to confuse the people. Declare your sources! If government just wants to squeeze you, you will approach the courts.

Time of imposing laws is gone, the responsible minister must bear with the CSO at large. Malawians believe in CSOs rather than the governing body.
