One of the Mobile Phone services provider Telecom Networks [TNM] has irked its customers after defending its mode of pricing for various data bundles offered on the market.

This follows continued public outcry over exorbitant data charges by mobile operators in the country.

According to TNM’s Chief Executive Officer Arnold M’bwana the prices attached to the bundles are not necessarily exorbitant as they are currently tailored to suit the needs of different customers.

M’bwana also cited that the pricing is largely determined by the VAT that is paid to government in the process of providing internet access to Malawians.

However, some Malawians have taken the issue to social media platforms to express their anger over TNM remarks.

Some people say data bundles in Malawi are more expensive than any other country in the Sadc region.
