Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>The Centre for Social Concern has asked Malawians to be curious about Malawi\u2019s foreign debts and that they should demand accountability on how the borrowed financial resources are spent.<\/p>\n

Centre for Social Concern Programmes Officer, Bernard Mphepo said this when the Centre for Social Concern held an interface meeting with Zomba based Civil Society Organisations.<\/p>\n

Mphepo said it is the responsibility of every Malawian to hold government accountable on borrowed financial resources adding that every Malawian pays back the debt in one way or another through taxes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all pay back loans that government borrow (from international lending instructions) through various taxes as such we have the right to hold government accountable on this,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

He therefore said holding government accountable on borrowed resources help the government to be be obliged and accountable to citizens by providing what the citizens aspire for.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes government discontinues development projects whose financial resources were borrowed,\u201d said Mphepo. The Centre for Social Concern is implementing social accountability programmes in Malawi with funding from a Germany organisation called Misereor.<\/p>\n

With funding from the Misereor, the Centre for Social Concern is currently implementing a 24 months project whose theme is \u2018Enhancing Transparency and Accountability on Debt Projects\u2019<\/p>\n
