LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-The Centre for Social Accountability and Transparency (CSAT) has demanded a justification from Malawi Parliament on decision to hold a leadership training programme outside Malawi, arguing the move contradicts the government’s austerity measures.
Kambwandira has said this following an ongoing Leadership Development Programme for the Parliamentary Service Commission in Sandton, South Africa, officially opened by Speaker of Parliament Sameer Suleman on Tuesday.
Kambwandira told Zodiak online that the decision financially irresponsible, saying the training could have been held in Malawi at far lower cost.
However, Parliament spokesperson Ian Mwenye, has described the matter as speculative.
Parliament of Malawi facebook page quotes the Speaker highlighting the training, running from January 22 to 31, will build leadership skills and strengthen competencies and governance principles within Parliament.
