Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>As construction of its purpose-built offices is in progress, the Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) has relocated its Head Office from Blantyre to the Capital City, Lilongwe into Development House whose landlord is Malawi Property Investment Company (MPICO).<\/p>\n

At the official commissioning of the Head Office on Friday, MEC chairperson, Justice Dr. Chifundo Kachale said this follows public policy directives calling for relocation of head offices of Government Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) from cities such as Blantyre and Zomba \u2014 with the mandate to operate from Lilongwe.<\/p>\n

He said over the years, various stakeholders have presented arguments advocating for relocation of the MEC Head Office to Lilongwe for a multitude of reasons, whose debate dates back to the establishment of the secretariat itself.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn its independent assessment, the Commission has consistently recognized the potential positive impact of relocating the Head Office to Lilongwe, given its central geographic location within the country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs early as 2001, the Commission took proactive steps by submitting an application to the Ministry of Lands for the allocation of a plot in Lilongwe, intended for the construction of its Head Office and associated structures.<\/p>\n

\u201cRelocation was one of MEC\u2019s strategic ambitions in the recently expired strategic document launched in 2017.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithin such a historic context, it gives me great pleasure to share news that through the dedicated efforts of the Commission\u2019s Research, Monitoring, and Evaluation Committee \u2014 led by Commissioner Dr. Emmanuel Fabiano \u2014 over the past three years, extensive planning and meaningful engagement with pertinent stakeholders have been undertaken in preparation for the relocation to Lilongwe.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur engagement with the Government, facilitated by the Ministry of Lands, Housing & Urban Development, has resulted in the allocation of a parcel of land designated for the purpose-built MEC offices and warehouses in Lilongwe.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that as the construction progresses, a suitable interim office space was found in the Development House \u201cthrough a fortunate opportunity arising from the relocation of the Malawi Energy Regulatory Authority (MERA) to new premises\u201d.<\/p>\n

He further said MEC\u2019s relocation to Lilongwe \u201caligns harmoniously with the Public Sector Reform Programme\u2019s implementation as reflected in MEC\u2019s recently expired Strategic Plan 2018-2023\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is unequivocal that Lilongwe occupies a central position within the country, affording MDAs a distinct advantage during activity implementation, thereby negating the need to transport staff and materials over lengthy distances.<\/p>\n

\u201cConsider, for instance, the difference in time taken by a vehicle transporting polling materials from Blantyre to Chitipa versus the same journey from Lilongwe to Chitipa.<\/p>\n

\u201cFurthermore, the strategic placement of Lilongwe enables a more efficient crisis response by allowing swift deployment of teams to the farthest reaches of the nation, in contrast to the logistical challenges posed by Blantyre.<\/p>\n

\u201cEqually significant is the fact that the Commission\u2019s stakeholders span the entirety of the country, many of whom occasionally require visits to the Head Office. Lilongwe, positioned as a central hub, offers a more accessible location, eliminating the need for arduous journeys, a scenario previously experienced during the period when the MEC Head Office was situated in Blantyre.<\/p>\n

\u201cConcurrently, it is essential to acknowledge that many of our stakeholders, including the Executive and other MDAs as well as our Development Partners, maintain their bases of operation in Lilongwe.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis reality translates to enhanced engagement and collaboration, as frequent travel between Blantyre and Lilongwe is greatly reduced.<\/p>\n

On his part, Minister of Lands, Deus Gumba said occasion \u201cstands as a testament to the spirit of collaboration and progress, without compromising independence of constitutional bodies and blurring the line for separation of powers, that we, as a nation, uphold\u201d.<\/p>\n

He added that the relocation \u201csymbolises a shared commitment to enhancing the functionality, efficiency, and credibility of our electoral processes by various institutions that have a bearing on what the Commission does\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we hand over these keys to the building, we also hand over a renewed sense of purpose, a commitment to uphold the sanctity of the operation of the Commission and ensure that its independence is not undermined by lack of resources.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have no doubt that the Malawi Electoral Commission will thrive in its new abode, and that this move to Lilongwe will go a long way in improving delivery of electoral processes and remaining a robust catalyst for consolidating our democracy.<\/p>\n

\u201cMay this new head office become a symbol of our unwavering dedication to free and fair elections,\u201d the Minister said.<\/p>\n

In his remarks, Mayor of the City of Lilongwe, Councillor Richard Banda, said as 2025 election year approaches, MEC\u2019s role becomes even more critical as it would be a centre of attraction and attention \u2014 \u201cwith so many electoral activities taking place that will add to the thrive and grandeur of our city\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is our firm belief that the presence of MEC in Lilongwe will bring more life and help Lilongwe to thrive,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we look forward to the upcoming elections, I urge the MEC to continue fostering collaboration with local authorities and community leaders and work together to guarantee a peaceful, inclusive, and credible electoral process.<\/p>\n

\u201cTogether, we can promote voter education, encourage voter registration, and facilitate peaceful and inclusive electoral processes. Let us work hand in hand to create an environment where every citizen feels empowered to participate actively in shaping the future of our city and our country.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTo the Commission and staff of the Malawi Electoral Commission, I extend my appreciation for your unwavering commitment and hard work in ensuring the success of our democratic processes. Your role is instrumental in safeguarding the integrity of our elections, and I encourage you to continue serving with professionalism and impartiality.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we celebrate this moment, let us keep in mind the immense responsibility that we all carry in preserving our democracy. The decisions we make today will impact the future of our nation.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet us always strive to be on the right side of history, upholding the values of transparency, fairness, and justice in all our endeavors…May these new offices serve as a beacon of hope for a brighter, democratic future for Malawi.\u201d<\/p>\n
