Malawi President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera has pardoned 106 prisoners as part of Easter celebrations.
Principal Secretary in the Ministry of Homeland Security Kennedy Nkhoma has announced this in a statement.
According to the statement, prisoners who have been pardoned are those who were charged with minor offences and have demonstrated good behavioural reform.
A single Malawi prison holds up to 14,000 inmates almost triple the recommended capacity of 5,000 prisoners.
