Malawi Sweeps Access to Information Law Into Effect

Lameck Masina

   BLANTRYE, MALAWI - Malawi's government has moved to implement the
   Access to Information law. The approval came four years after the law
   was passed by the country's parliament. This follows the official
   publication of the law Friday by the information minister.
   A regional media watchdog welcomed the move but warned the government
   against deliberately stifling enforcement of the law.
   Malawi's National Assembly passed the Access to Information Bill in
   December 2016 and former President Peter Mutharika approved it in 2017.
