“These conditions are for all businesspersons: Indians, Chinese, Nigerians, Lebanese and even indigenous Malawians. Everyone has to abide by these new salaries,” said Ahmed.

One of the workers Ramsey Chirwa, said the employees would now work for 26 days only in a month apart from.

Other conditions of service agreed upon are that a sick employee would be given bed rest after showing a medical report; employers will allow employees to attend funerals, among others.
