“You are the future of Malawi, you are free to voice out your opinion on the topic because this is your country, your future,” Navaro said.
He added that as diplomats they would like to see positive news from Malawi because currently most news tends to be negative.
“Malawian policy runs very low in the economic sector on the international rankings, so through these debates we see such positive energy which shows that Malawi can really have a bright future,” he added.
The Acting Executive Director of ECAMA, Kettie Nyasulu explained that the goal is to help students gain research, public speaking and critical thinking skills.
“The main objective is to encourage youth participation in the development agenda of the country. Creating these forums for students to interact and share knowledge is how they can contribute innovative approaches to the development of the country,” Nyasulu said.
Victoria Luesya expressed her excitement, which she said victory has come about because of hard work and teamwork by the members who have showed support from the beginning of the competition.
