President Lazarus Chakwera on Thursday 29th February 2024 said the two systems of Business registration and Land information management are crucial as Malawi focuses on the 2063 agenda of all Malawians becoming self-reliant.
The President made the remarks at Bingu International Convention Center in the capital Lilongwe when he launched Malawi Business registration and the Land information management systems which will help in registration of new businesses and management of data for plots as well as land ownership and deal away with some crooks who have been selling land to more than one customer.
“Previously Malawians have been struggling to register their new businesses, sometimes covering long distances only to get their new businesses registered. Previously, Malawians have been struggling with crooks (dobadobas) who sell plots which are not theirs, sometimes even selling a plot to multiple customers, but to trace the files for such plots at the department of lands, you hear files are missing while in the office.
The systems we are launching today will address these challenges” Said the President.
He further said for the growth of Malawi’s economy and hunger eradication, the two systems are critical and need to be in operation with experts having full control over them.
Writing on his Facebook page, President Lazarus Chakwera told the nation that the two systems will improve efficiency in registration of business entities, and consolidation of data around profit-making ventures and improve equitable land ownership as well as administration by all Malawians.
