Blantyre, May 1, Mana: President Lazarus Chakwera says his government is committed to create decent work in Malawi that will lead to the promotion of socio-economic development of the country.
Chakwera made the remarks Saturday when he presided over the commemoration of International Labour Day at Sanjika Palace in Blantyre.
The Malawi leader said it is disheartening to note that some workers are being subjected to precarious conditions such as being unpaid, unappreciated by their bosses, overworked and abused in various ways.
The president therefore said it is high time employers started appreciating what their employees do for them at all levels depending on what they employed them for.
Start paying journalists well - Ndanga - pic by Happy Njalam mano
The Media Institute of Southern Africa (MISA) Malawi has challenged media houses to begin paying journalists well in an attempt to fight corruption in the country.
MISA Malawi Chairperson, Teresa Ndanga, says most journalists are tempted to fall into bribery because they are lowly paid.
She said this on Wednesday when Wits University and Continuing Journalism Education virtually launched the State of Newsroom for Malawi 2019-20 report.
However, Ndanga implored on journalists to personalize the effect of corruption on people for them to demand accountability from public officers.
“They must be told the need for them to demand information using the Access to Information law. We have become part of the problem,” she said.
