马拉维总统在官方活动中使用美国制造的个人SUV, 违反了要求安全、可审计国家车辆的法律, Malawi’s president faces backlash for using a personal American-made SUV in official events, violating laws requiring secure, auditable state vehicles.

马拉维总统在就职几个月后, 不顾法律和安全方面的顾虑, 在正式车队中使用个人美国制造的埃斯卡拉德(Escalade), Malawi’s president is under scrutiny for using his personal American-made Escalade in official motorcades months after inauguration, despite legal and security concerns. 批评者认为此举违反了《总统薪金和福利法》, 该法案要求使用国家发放的车辆, Critics say the move violates the President’s Salaries and Benefits Act, which requires use of state-issued vehicles equipped for security and accountability. 虽然新闻秘书将这一选择视为节省费用,但专家警告说,这会破坏透明度,造成无法追踪的费用,并损害安全,特别是因为装有国家徽章的车辆缺乏燃料、保养和保险的可审计记录。 While the press secretary defends the choice as cost-saving, experts warn it undermines transparency, creates untraceable expenses, and compromises safety, especially since the vehicle, adorned with the national emblem, lacks auditable records for fuel, maintenance, and insurance.
