The announcement follows Africa News’ investigative characteristic earlier this month highlighting how prisoners in Malawi are eating less food as compared to the former one party State of the late first president Dr. Hastings Kamuzu Banda.
“Insufficient budgetary allocations to prisons are making it difficult for authorities to provide not just sufficient but also nutritious food to inmates,” Blantyre City Assembly’s HIV/AIDS coordinator Lothiar Ngulube said.
He disclosed that due to the increasing number of inmates in prisons, each prisoner eats 0.68g per day or less. Ngulube further disclosed that prisoners in the country are also stressed to get medical treatment when they get sick.
