Homeland Minister, Ken Zikhale Ng’oma has emphasized that any foreigner who wants to do business in Malawi should pay an annual fee of seven thousand United States dollars
Ng’oma expressed concerns that this situation has resulted in significant tax losses for the country and has also led to money being taken out of Malawi illegally since 1994.
