DPP demands transparency in passport supplying contract

The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has called on the government to provide clarity on the controversial passport supplying contract awarded to local firm, E-Tech Systems.

The party’s spokesperson, Shadric Namalomba, has raised concerns over the contract, citing the company’s alleged links to Malawi Congress Party (MCP) members and its lack of capacity to supply passports.

The passport saga began when the government cancelled the contract with Techno Brain, a company that had been printing Malawi passports for years.
