Following the meeting, Commission Chairperson Mary Nkosi expressed satisfaction with the discussions, noting that the President had reassured them of his continued efforts to foster peace, especially as the country approaches the upcoming elections. She also revealed the Commission’s plans to engage traditional leaders, such as chiefs, to further spread the message of peace.
Presidential Chief Advisor on Public Policy and Governance, Samson Limbani, reaffirmed the President’s dedication to promoting peaceful coexistence among Malawians of diverse political affiliations.
“The Head of State has rededicated himself to condemning extremism and actions that threaten peace. He will continue to encourage unity and peaceful dialogue, particularly in these politically charged times,” Limbani stated.
