MISA Malawi Chairperson Thom Nkhanje said journalists in the country find it had to access information from the Directorate for public consumption.

Nkhanje cited things like lack of Public Relations Department and lack of websites as one of the hindrances.

The research has also named Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) as the most open organization, maintaining the same position consecutively from last year.

The research has also labeled Blantyre City Council (BCC) as the most improved department in terms of information dissemination erasing the previous label of being the secretive department.
