Linga Mihowa country director for Oxfam Malawi: Reality on the ground

This was disclosed during the World Economic Forum held in South Africa.

The report, entitled ‘a tail of two continents’ says South Africa is on position one in the battle against inequality while Nigeria is the worst in the gap between the rich and the poor.

The report analysed how countries use tax money on its citizens, among others.

Minister of Information Mark Botomani welcomed the report, saying the Peter Mutharika administration as put as a priority fighting poverty as well as narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor.

“We are doing that and well despite financial constraints we are facing,” said Botomani.

The story is incomplete. Who comes first for Malawi to be at number 10 so we can learn from them? Stories must be factual with roper background information so that readers should not be asking questions. This is not phone-in where you can directly interact with the host.
