Looks like the current Director of Public Prosecution has continued right from where the other one stopped. All he's doing is discontinuing cases for no clear reason.

@onjezani The problem remains this post-dated intelligence. 'Intelligence' should be able to act there and then.

The UK was proud to pledge £850m to @GlobalFund at the 8th replenishment summit it co-hosted with South Africa.

In Malawi, this will help sustain nearly 1 million people on antiretrovirals, treat over 20,000 people for TB, and provide 3 million bed nets to prevent malaria.

Meanwhile, from my inbox:

Hello Mr. Kenani, please hide my ID....many young people in this country have an addiction to gambling and some can't express it fully because they have lost alot. What is the solution for these young people so that they can get back in track to fulfill there destines. I have also fallen in the same pit that I don't know how to come out. How can I stop this addiction sir

[Moses Chitsulo🇲🇼 @moseschitsulo]

@onjezani Malawi Gaming and Lotteries Authority is responsible for awareness on 'responsible' gambling (whatever that means). They need to up their game. Otherwise, I think many young people think life is easy and they can get K10 million on a silver platter.

We thank God for the gift of his life to us.

1. PERSONAL NEWS:
Today BBC News has announced plans to close @BBCHARDtalk after 3 decades holding the world’s politicians and powerbrokers to account. This is sad news for me personally, but much more important, I think it’s depressing news for the BBC🧵

@laurentkalonga @onjezani I beg to differ. Nowadays, Reserve Bank of Malawi conducts forex auctions and these dealer banks submit their figures. That means, in a way, they have been given that authority and they determine the value based on the prevailing market situations.

Constitutional court in #Malawi has dismissed an application that sought to decriminalise 'same sex sexual activities'. The court has directed the applicants to petition Parliament to make amendments to the laws.

[Moses Chitsulo🇲🇼 @moseschitsulo]

3 High Court Judges sitting as a Constitutional Court in Blantyre are reading out their Judgement on the Constitutionality of sections 153 and 156 of #Malawi's Penal Code.
The sections criminalise same sex sexual activities.

[Moses Chitsulo🇲🇼 @moseschitsulo]

Among others, Akstar and Gonani argue that the sections violate right to privacy, right to human dignity and are against section 20 of the Malawi Constitution that prohibits any form of discrimination.

[Moses Chitsulo🇲🇼 @moseschitsulo]

Two people namely Jan Willem Akstar and Jana Gonani want the court to declare the sections unconstitutional.

Akstar, a Dutch National, is accused of 'sodomising' boys and Gonani is a convicted 'transgender woman'.
