Activists fall in love with Mutharika

Their relation ship has always been a cat and mouse affair but finally they have reached a stage where they have fallen in love with each other.

Gender activists in the country have commended President Peter Mutharika for being gender sensitive in appointing Commissioners for Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC).

National coordinator for NGO Gender Coordination Network Emmie Kaliya made the remarks following the appointment of new commissioners for MEC.

Kaliya said what Mutharika did is commendable since there is gender balance.

“I am very impressed with this because it clearly show that there is gender balance which is good,” Kaliya explained.

Commenting on the appointments, Chairperson for Malawi Electoral Support Network (MESN), Steve Duwa, urged the chosen commissioners to work for the public interest.

According to Duwa, the newly appointed commissioners should work with the aim of serving the public at large.

Duwa added that Malawians will be waiting to see the kind of fruits the commissioners will bear at the end of their tenure.

The eight MEC commissioners are Mary Nkosi, Killion Mgawi, Jean Mathanga, Clifford Baloyi, Evelyn Mtafu, Moffat Banda, Linda Kunje and Yahaya M’madi.
