Customers Ask for Tents Outside Banks

After the president of Malawi, Peter Mutharika instructed that people should avoid gatherings, banks also have trimmed number of customers entering the banks.

Banks have directed that only 10 customers should enter the bank at a time.

But this has not pleased customers in Thyolo who are standing on a queue for a long time and being heat by sun.

The customers have asked for tents in order to provide refugee when the sun heats hard.

one of the customers at National Bank in Thyolo district, suggested that banks should also consider customers awaiting to get inside the banks than, only, following orders from Ministry of Health.

“It could be better if they at-least, erected tents outside bank premises so that we, customers, should take refuge from sunlight heat,” George Gwaza suggested.

Another customer at the FDH bank in Thyolo also concurred with Gwaza’s suggestions saying besides fulfilling what the Health Ministry saying bank operators and owners should also consider lives of their customers outside banks.

“Of course this is happening just because of this COVID-19 pandemic but still, we are human beings and moreover, overstaying at the sunlight heat has its own side effects. Therefore, we urge them to hear our cry and do something,” said Maggie Banda.

The customers also asked the banks officials to fix ATM machines to ensure that the number of customers on queues is reduced.
