The Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) has called on Master Trainers to execute their roles with the highest level of integrity and professionalism during the country’s electoral processes. This message was emphasized by MEC Central Regional Elections Manager, Esimy Chisepeya, during a Master Trainers workshop held in Mponela, Dowa district.
Chisepeya highlighted the importance of elections, noting that such a crucial task requires individuals of impeccable integrity. “Elections are sensitive and require responsible handling. Negligence or lack of maturity can seriously compromise the entire process,” she said, stressing that it is essential for trainers to maintain the highest standards of conduct, even in situations where supervision is limited.
She further added that MEC is committed to ensuring fair and transparent elections and that this is only possible if every individual involved upholds their responsibilities with seriousness and dedication.
One of the Master Trainers, Febby Kagwamminga, echoed this commitment, vowing to carry out their duties impartially and to ensure that citizens’ rights to freely choose their leaders are protected. Kagwamminga emphasized that the integrity of the election process is paramount to strengthening democracy in Malawi.
The workshop aims to prepare Master Trainers who will, in turn, train others involved in the election process, ensuring that the upcoming elections are conducted efficiently and transparently.
