He said: “A number of organisations such as Plan Malawi, Malawi Red Cross Society and some government institutions such as the police are here to ensure that people live in comfort.”

Nice civic education officer for the South Enock Chinkhuntha said they organised the democracy fair to provide a platform where citizens could ask duty-bearers about their services.

“There is need for interaction between the community and service providers so that they know what is being done for them in the district,” he said.

An official from Mulanje Police Station Beston Zawanda said people are free to report any incident to the police without fear.

“We now have a reformed police which is ready to keep secrets where necessary,” he said.
