“…as abuse of resources escalate”
President of the Malawi Local Government Association (MALGA) councillor Wild Ndipo has called upon finance managers in local councils to strengthen public finance management systems to ‘prove wrong those that believe local government authorities are there to abuse public funds’.
Ndipo made the call in Mangochi recently during the 2020/2021 annual general meeting (AGM) for MALGA Finance Managers Network (MALGA-FINET).

It is reported that each council handles a minimum of K1.5 billion annually. This comprises locally generated revenues, central government transfers and donor funds.
