Speaking Truth to Power: Anti-Corruption Showpiece.

Today, we joined Youth and Society and youth leaders from Mzuzu at the Anti-Corruption Poetry showpiece. We were treated with amazing poetry under the theme, "anti-corruption." It was encouraging to see young people use their talent to amplify voices against corruption and call on other young people to join the fight.

Mzuzu Youth Anti-Corruption Movement applauds His Excellency Professor Arthur Peter Muthalika's decision not to assent to the Constitution (Amendment) Bill. In doing so, he has uphold the principle of separation of powers which is fundamental to Malawi's constitutional framework. This move counters legislative overreach into executive powers and highlights the President's commitment to curb abuses related to the Constituency Development Fund. Ultimately, the decision reinforces a system of checks and balances which is crucial for prudent use of public resources.

Judicial accountability

Ghana's President John Mahama has booted Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo from office with immediate effect. The decision comes barely hours after Mahama received the report from a committee recommending her removal from office. The committee had been tasked with looking into Torkonoo’s conduct. Torkornoo is the first recent head of Ghana’s judiciary to be removed from office under the constitutional provision.

International Youth Day 2025.

Yesterday, in commemoration of the 2025 International Youth Day the movement collaborated with Habitat for Humanity Malawi and more than 30 youth leaders from across the country to build latrines and houses for 6 children with disabilities in the area of T/A Kachere, Dedza.

Our activity aligned with SDG 10 which advances reduced inequalities by promoting inclusion and empowering marginalized groups. By building latrines and houses for children with disabilities we aimed to reduce social and physical barriers, ensuring equal access to safe and dignified living conditions.

This effort resonated deeply with the theme "Local Youth Actions for the SDGs and Beyond," as it showcased the power of local youth initiatives in driving meaningful change and promoting inclusive development. By taking action at the local level, we demonstrated how young people can contribute to achieving the SDGs, particularly SDG 10, and create a more equitable society for all.

EXCLUSIVE: A high-stakes government-to-government (G2G) fuel agreement, critical to landlocked Malawi’s energy security, has been thrown into disarray. Two vessels carrying the initial consignments procured from Oman and the UAE were scheduled to dock at Tanzania’s Tanga port between July 9 and 12, and at Mozambique’s Beira port between July 14 and 16. But weeks later, both countries have repeatedly blocked Malawi’s attempts to offload the fuel, with no clear explanation.

The impasse has triggered a diplomatic stand-off, forcing a high-level Malawian delegation sent to oversee the arrivals to return home empty-handed. What’s behind this unprecedented blockade? Who stands to benefit or lose from the chaos?
