Malawi’s religious grouping, the Public Affairs Committee (PAC) says the church is clear when it comes to gay issues and it will not tolerate anything that is against the word of God.

This comes after government’s move to drop charges against two gays who were arrested when they were found engaging in homosexual acts.

Fr. Peter Mulomole; We will not change our stand.

Through a statement released last week government said it is committed to review the law on homosexuality under the penal code and everything will be done in consultation with Malawians.

Previously, the minister of Justice Samuel Tembenu said no arrests or prosecutions must occur while the country is reviewing the laws.

However, PAC publicity secretary, Father Peter Mulomole, said they will regard the matter in accordance with the bible and the church is aware that marriage is between man and woman.

“The church is clear on issues concerning gays and we will not tolerate anything that is against what the bible says that marriage is between a man and a woman,” said Mulomole.

He added that they are watching closely the relationship between the country and donors and said government is under pressure.
