Speaking after the donation CDH investment Bank Risk and Compliance Officer Robert Malipa said swimming is one of the minority sports in the country which lacks sponsorship hence the move to promote it.

As some lawmakers especially from the opposition side in Parliament are planning to re-table the controversial Constituency Development Fund (CDF) Constitutional Amendment Bill, some local contractors in the country trading under the banner Indigenous Construction Contractors Association (ICCA) have added their voice on the matter.

Earlier this month President Professor Peter Mutharika rejected the bill thereby stripping off lawmakers powers to peep-through the funds.

Speaking in an interview with faceofmalawi, one of the ICCA members who opted for the condition of anonymity expressed fear that with the hiked Constituency Development Fund being solely handled by councils will lead to massive plunder of the funds.

“Councils in Malawi fail to administer Mk200m cdf and most of the councils have got audit queries, corruption in councils is institutionalized. Imagine big councils with 10 constituencies that’s 50billion this will put our councils in a bad situation to the extent that ambiri amangidwa.

“My suggestion is why not use already established institution like Roads Authority. Just boost it by amending a law to make it ‘Roads and Building Authority’ give it mandate to administer all the development activities,” he said.

He added: “This institution has all the expertise and experience to administer all the infrastructure needs of the country they know each and every road. By amending the law governing these institutions it will give powers to them to build and maintain building structures in all govt institutions across the country and they’ll employ or absorb existing works departments in district councils. MP/councillors or vdc will be just going there to submit their needs/proposals and Roads and Building Authority will just be implementing. While Roads and Building fund administration will be the pay master. All the CDF funds will deposited into roads and building administration fund account.

“This will save money because these two institutions have the experience, expertise, and infrastructure to implement the CDF.”

When contacted for comment Minister of Local Government Ben Phiri was quoted assuring Malawians that the funds will be safe in councils.

“Let me assure Malawians that their funds are safe and my ministry is committed to transparency and accountability in the utilisation of these public resources,” Phiri said.

On her part Cathy Maulidi, State House Press Officer told this publication that President Mutharika has ordered the ministers of Justice and Constitutional Affairs and Finance, Economic Planning and Decentralisation to draft guidelines for managing CDF that do not compromise financial integrity.

President Mutharika has hiked the CDF from MK200 million to MK5 billion as promised during the campaign trail.

The High Court, sitting as a three-judge panel comprising Justices Mzonde Mvula, Howard Pemba and Eddah Ngwira-Mwakibinga, delivered its judgement in the case of The Registered Trustees of the Malawi Local Government Association versus Ministry of Local Government and the Attorney General.

Ruling in favour of Malga, the court declared the guidelines for CDF and Water Resources Fund (2022), issued by the Ministry of Local Government, unconstitutional.

The Guidelines had vested MPs with primary responsibility over local development plans and granted them voting rights in local councils as ex-officio members under Section 5(1) of the Local Government Act.

The court observed that an MP, as part of the Legislature under Section 8 of the Constitution, participates in the enactment of laws, but by assuming an ex-officio role in the council with powers to determine the management and control of development funds, including voting rights, undertakes functions that fall within the domain of the Executive under Section 7.

According to the court, this dual role contravenes the doctrine of separation of powers under sections 7, 8 and 9 of the Constitution.

As a result, the court declared the guidelines invalid to the extent of their inconsistency with the Constitution.

It further directed that the guidelines be revised to exclude MPs from such roles and that alternative stakeholders be identified to uphold constitutional compliance and the integrity of the oversight function.

Despite President Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika blushing off the tenders of pundits rating 100 days of each regime including his government, many people have moved in to salute him, on how the country has performed in the past days.

In the past 100 days, the country has experienced a significant reduction in maize prices, fuel availability, forex availability thereby reducing the panic that Malawians used to have during the reign of former President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera.

Writing on his official Facebook page Leonard Chimbanga, a close ally of President Mutharika, saluted the President for stabilizing the economy

“Let me first congratulate His Excellency Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika for dragging Malawi back from collapse. As we tick off 100 days of proven leadership maize prices behaving themselves, fuel actually available, and a stable economy no longer gasping for air it’s fair to admit that the country escaped extinction.

“23 million Malawians were governed by a group that mistook chaos for strategy and violence for policy. They used violence to rise in 2020 and tried the same trick to stay there. Had that experiment continued, Malawi would be history today,” said Chimbanga.

Added Chimbanga: “Then came APM, and suddenly leadership stopped needing a passport stamp. This is a president who knows that not every issue requires boarding a plane some just need a phone call and common sense. No daughters discovering diplomacy, no sons discovering quarry contracts. Just calm, disciplined governance.”

On 4th October, the day President Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika was sworn in, he had urgent issues on his desk to address.

Top amongst them was the rising fertilizer prices and their unavailability on the local market due to foreign currency limitations.

Just after being sworn-in, Mutharika announced the introduction of free Secondary Education as promised during the campaign trail.

The President also came up with a learn-Cabinet.

Old Mutual Life Assurance Company Malawi has announced a 60% increase in annuity payments effective January 2026, alongside a once-off bonus equivalent to six months’ annuity, payable this December.

Speaking in an interview, Old Mutual Life Assurance Company Managing Director Mark Mikwamba said the announcement reflects the company’s long-term commitment to protecting retirees’ financial well-being and dignity in retirement.

“This only shows the level of commitment to our promise to provide retirees with a stable, reliable, and lifelong income that continues to grow over time, the 60% increment and the six-month bonus are tangible proof that Old Mutual remains focused on delivering real value to our annuitants, even in challenging economic environments.” He said.

Old Mutual’s Annuity product is designed to provide guaranteed income for life, ensuring retirees remain financially secure long after leaving active employment.
The product is underpinned by Old Mutual’s strong investment management capability and a long-standing reputation for trust, offering competitive and consistently improving returns supported by annual increments.

According to Mikwamba, the annuity goes beyond regular income payments by offering additional protection through medical and funeral benefits, which help retirees manage rising healthcare costs and unforeseen expenses.

He said, “Retirement should be a time of peace of mind, not financial anxiety, our annuity product cushions retirees against life’s uncertainties and ensures that their income is protected and dependable throughout their later years. The declared increment directly responds to retirees’ desire for income stability and growth, while the once-off bonus provides immediate relief and recognition for years of service and contribution”

Between 2015 and 2025, the annuity product recorded an average annual bonus declaration of approximately 23.2%, against an average inflation rate of approximately 19.1% over the same period. This means there has been a long-term pattern of protecting purchasing power and supporting income growth for retirees.

The annuity product is available to pension members at retirement and is distributed directly to individuals, as well as through Principal Officers and Corporate Business Development Officers.
