WHO IS TELLING MALAWIANS THE TRUTH?

First Vice-President Jane Ansah’s office yesterday could not answer whether she self-funded her private trip to the United Kingdom (UK) after President Peter Mutharika announced on Wednesday that his number two assured him of using private resources.

Instead, spokesperson in the Office of the First Vice-President Richard Mveriwa said Minister of Information and Communications Technology Shadric Namalomba was better placed to state whose money Ansah used to travel to Nottingham “since he is the one who issued a statement on travel budget.”

But when contacted, Namalomba—who on December 24, 2025 stated that Ansah would take five officials at a cost of K168 million and not the K1.9 billion for 15 people that went viral on social media—yesterday said “let me verify with Treasury and OPC [Office of the President and Cabinet] and will revert,” but had not responded by press time.

Minister of Finance, Economic Planning and Decentralisation Joseph Mwanamvekha as well as Secretary to the Treasury Cliff Chiunda were not immediately available for comment yesterday.

Chief Secretary to OPC Justin Saidi yesterday told The Nation to check with State House because “I did not issue any statement”.

Mpasadzi Bridge reopens with temporary crossing point

KASUNGU-(MaraviPost)-The Roads Authority (RA) has announced that Mpasadzi bridge along M001 road in Kasungu is now operational using a temporary crossing point.

RA Chief Executive Officer, Engineer Dr Ammiel Champiti, said the authority has completed the construction of bulk fills at the temporary crossing point, ensuring a stable and secure passage for vehicles.

The authority has also finished drainage works, guaranteeing effective water conveyance and protection of the crossing structure, a crucial step to prevent future disruptions.

Champiti assured all road users and the general public that the authority conducted trial runs, and heavy goods traffic from both directions have now been granted controlled access, subject to ongoing traffic management measures.

The temporary crossing point is expected to alleviate travel disruptions and support local trade and commerce, bringing relief to communities relying on the M001 road.

The RA's efforts demonstrate a commitment to maintaining critical infrastructure and minimizing the impact of bridge repairs on daily life.

Users are advised to exercise caution and follow traffic guidelines as work continues to ensure the temporary crossing's stability.

The authority's proactive approach aims to restore normalcy and safety on this vital road link as soon as possible.

Chelsea have opted for a change in the dugout after ending Enzo Maresca’s 18 month spell as head coach, a decision driven by concerns that the club’s season was drifting off course despite several objectives still within reach.

The Italian coach departs Stamford Bridge with Chelsea sitting fifth in the Premier League, a position that keeps Champions League qualification possible but leaves the club trailing leaders Arsenal by a significant 15-point margin.

2025 Person of the YEAR
Mutharika’s 2025-win marks a significant milestone in his illustrious career, as he secured his second term as President of Malawi with a landslide victory.

The celebrations that erupted across the country were akin to a New Year’s Eve bash, with crackers lighting up the night sky and jubilant crowds taking into the streets to hail their leader’s triumph.

“Mutharika’s victory is a testament to his enduring popularity and connection with the Malawian people,” says veteran journalist Janet Karim, with 40 years of longstanding experience in journalism. “The manner in which millions of Malawians celebrated his victory throughout the country is a strong and valid testimony that indeed Mutharika is a man of the people and deserves being recognized as Personality of the Year.”

People from all occupations in various locations across the country went out on the streets celebrating their victory as a great achievement.
