She said they understand the financial challenges faced by MHRC, hence the support.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIssues of human rights are to be handled with agency, which is why we thought of helping MHRC. We are aware that the institution has numerous challenges and we believe the little we have donated will go a long way in sorting some of the challenges they face,\u201d Gylfado\u0301ttir said.<\/p>\n<p>MHRC Chairperson Scader Louis said the commission will put the funds to good use. \u201cAs you are aware, our budget was reduced, such that we are failing to conduct investigations into human rights abuses. The funds will, therefore, enable us to reach every corner of Malawi,\u201d Louis said.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, MHRC said it has been forced to shelve some of its crucial investigations due to lack of funds. In the 2022-23 national budget, the Treasury allocated K1.3 billion to MHRC.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/malawi\">Malawi<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Malawi.
