flag Malawi’s government faces backlash for boosting top officials’ budgets while cutting development spending amid economic hardship.

flag Malawi’s mid-year budget review has sparked national outrage after revealing that State House and senior government offices received massive funding increases—State House’s budget surged by 34% to K89 billion, while the Office of the President and Cabinet gained K7 billion—despite economic struggles and a cut in development spending to K1.9 trillion. flag Health saw only a 9% rise, and the Farm Input Subsidy Programme received an additional K112 billion, raising concerns over mismanagement and ineffective programs. flag Critics warn the focus on consumption over investment risks inflation and undermines growth, while allegations of rapid, unexplained spending and potential misuse of funds have fueled calls for an independent audit and stronger oversight.
