Email a copy of 'Malawi MPs urged to reject ‘adulterated’ information bill: CSOs say it has ‘undemocratic elements’' to a friend
Malawi government must turn the Department of Disaster Management Affairs (DoDMA) into a ministry, Adventist Relief Agency (ADRA) deputy country...
If the 3 points are the bone of contention then I would urge MPs to pass the bill. We can pay for printing and transmission costs of information. That’s no big deal. Laws are not supposed to apply retrospectively, so I don’t see the need for this one to be an exception. Therefore point number 3 is invalid. Point number 1, on information regarding unauthorised use of public funds I see no need to be specific. The law didn’t need to list the types of information that we can access. It’s all public information unless it is classified. The law… Read more »
The reaction of MISA Malawi Chapter and Media Council of Malawi to this ATI issue makes more sense than this self serving reaction from CHRR and CEDEP.
Zaulele till when a Ntambo? put on a sober face such that your political masters can see your logic. If you have nothing to say say nothing at all than wasting our time reading your clueless articles

Imagin I being a private citizen of Malawi privileged to a very vital information that would assist journalist and any other concerned citizen. Do you think you could obtain it for no penny? Who will bear admin costs other costs? You will not get it for free even under the court order. I would apply an injunction for this very reason.
Am sure Pitala is getting more and more mad, wamisala wa kwa nkando, mavizi ake. …
A couple of meanings of ‘adulterated’ are contaminated, impure, tainted, poisoned, infected, polluted, dirty etc. My surprise is that people who are legally in the know like Danwood Chirwa, sunduzwayo Madise, Malawi law Society have remained mum on the mentioned ‘inconsistencies’ to help put the record straight. Are the inconsistencies not making the original ATI adulterated since some legal novices in the name of CSO leaders/media houses gurus want the ATI polluted with their ill-intentions and victimize Malawians in perpetuity? Mind you, the information will essentially be sought by people in newspaper business to make money on their publications and… Read more »
