The Centre for Public Accountability (CPA) is questioning the government’s decision to settle for Mike Tyson a brand ambassador for Malawi’s industrial Cannabis.

The development comes barely a day after the Malawi government through the Ministry of agriculture appointed former world heavyweight boxing champion, to be the ambassador for the country’s cannabis.

In a statements signed by the Centre’s Acting Director Kondwani Munthali, the grouping argues that Tyson is a sex offender, hence his ambassadorship would compromise the country’s branding.

The CPA has further described the move as a great embarrassment to the Government and the people of Malawi as Tyson’s record contradicts, the country’s efforts to curb violence against women.
