The remarks come barely a few days after a Federalism institute requested President Lazarus Chakwera to call for a national referendum within two months so that Malawi can adopt a federal system of government.

“Federal system of government is going to be of benefit to the whole Malawi because, in a federal system, there will be provisional governments in each region, and when the budget is made, the money can be allocated to each region to help in development,” he said.
