Let those assigned to do the work without any form of interference to ensure their smooth relocation, she said.<\/p>\n<p>The Minister warned those who want to take advantage of the exercise to serve their personal interest or conduct criminal activities to desist from such malpractice or else the law will take its course and no mercy will be shown until they have fully paid for their actions.<\/p>\n<p>However, Government made a statement for all refugees residing in undesignated places to go back to Dzaleka on 1April, 2021 but it was challenged by the refugee community who obtained an injunction for judicial review on the decision. On August 12, the court ruled in favour of government citing that the decision is within the law.<\/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.
