马拉维法院禁止议员监督民防基金六个月后, 尚未制定新规则, Six months after Malawi’s court barred MPs from overseeing CDF funds, no new rules have been set, risking mismanagement.

马拉维宪法法院禁止国会议员管理选区发展基金(CDF)六个月后, 没有发布任何新准则, 让地方当局使用过时的系统。 Six months after Malawi’s Constitutional Court barred MPs from managing the Constituency Development Fund (CDF), no new guidelines have been issued, leaving local authorities to use outdated systems. 法院的裁决也取消了议员在理事会中因利益冲突而享有的投票权,但由于总检察长的上诉,这一裁决仍然被推迟。 The court’s ruling, which also removed MPs’ voting rights in councils over conflicts of interest, remains delayed due to an Attorney General appeal. 专家警告说，如果没有透明、社区驱动的监督，管理不善、政治干预和资金浪费的风险仍然存在，特别是自 2006 年启动以来，CDF 已增长到每个选区 2.2 亿克朗。 Experts warn that without transparent, community-driven oversight, risks of mismanagement, political interference, and wasted funds persist, especially as the CDF has grown to K220 million per constituency since its 2006 launch.
