TNM has donated MK20 million towards the 10th Annual General Meeting (AGM) and
elective conference of the Association for Magistrates in Malawi (AMA) and the
Magistrates and Judges Association of Malawi (MAJAM).
The AGM and elective
conference, scheduled to take place later this month, will bring together
magistrates and judges to deliberate on professional matters and elect new
office bearers for the two associations.
The sponsorship forms part
of TNM’s continued support for Malawi’s legal fraternity and reflects the
company’s commitment to initiatives that promote the rule of law and strengthen
public institutions.
AMA and MAJAM are
professional associations representing magistrates and judges in Malawi, with
mandates focused on professional development, welfare and maintaining the
integrity of the judicial profession.
AMA President, His Worship
Kondani Chinangwa, expressed appreciation to TNM for the contribution, saying
the support would assist in the successful organisation of the AGM and elective
conference.
TNM Legal and Regulatory
Director, Chisomo Governor, said the company recognises the important role of
the judiciary and other justice-sector institutions in creating a fair and
stable environment for citizens, businesses and the wider economy.
Governor said TNM remains
committed to supporting initiatives that contribute to the development of
Malawi’s legal profession and promote respect for the rule of law.
He added that strong and
independent institutions are essential to Malawi’s social and economic
development, reinforcing TNM’s position on the importance of supporting the
country’s justice system.
