Church Urges Malawi Government to Address Economic Hardship and Fuel Shortages

The Church of Central Africa Presbyterian urged the government of Malawi to address economic hardship, fuel shortages, and concerns over public accountability. The Church stated that persistent foreign exchange constraints and uncertainty over fuel supplies continue to affect households, farmers, transport operators, businesses, and essential services.

The Church called on the Ministry of Finance, the Reserve Bank of Malawi, and the National Oil Company of Malawi to provide clear information regarding fuel procurement and foreign exchange management. The statement noted that many Malawians are still struggling to meet basic needs despite hopes for economic recovery.
