The Malawi Communications Regulatory Authority (MACRA) board is set to meet today April 12 to deliberate on an imprecating report by the Office of the Ombudsman.
On Monday, April 10, Ombudsman Martha Chizuma released an investigative report exposing massive recruitment irregularities at the authority.
The report has nullified over 10 top appointments at the institution, including that of former Director-General, Godfrey Itaye.
MACRA board Chairperson, Stanley Khaila, confirmed the board would meet today to discuss how to implement the report’s recommendations.
According to Khaila, today’s meeting will ponder recommendations that have been made by their legal committee which met yesterday.

Malawi’s Communications Regulatory Authority (MACRA) has approached the country’s operators to address consumer complaints over high data prices.
In August 2020, the Ministry of Information and Communications Technology pressured the country’s operators – including Airtel Malawi and Telekom Networks Malawi (TNM) – to reduce their prepaid or unbundled data rates by a factor of four, cutting them from MWK20 (USD0.02) to MWK5 per MB.
