Newly elected Muslims Association of Malawi (MAM) national chairman Sheikh Idrissa Muhammad has disclosed that he would open the offices which were closed some months ago due to misunderstanding by other Muslims quarters.

He was speaking during the press briefing at its new head office in Blantyre after returning the hot seat which was held at Comesa hall.

Sheikh Idrissa Muhammad who was incumbent chairman beat Sheikh Imran Sherif with 114 votes against 7.

“I want to assure you my fellow Muslims and all people in the country that next week the offices which was closed by other quarters who doesn’t wish well to MAM will be opened and would be used as regional offices and not head offices as previously,” he said.

He also said that he would continue with programmes and activities which he used to do. Such activities include building schools, mosques, clinics, helping the needy and distributing relief items across the country.

The MAM boss then urged journalists to be professional when reporting MAM’s stories and must be verified by the Association officials before publishing saying other people fabricate stories.

He also said he would push for the changing of the constitution and amend some sections which written in 1996 and need to be revised.

MAM goes to national elections to elect their leaders after five years.
