Telekom Networks Malawi is pressing ahead with network investment despite persistent foreign‑exchange shortages that continue to weigh on the importation of critical equipment, Chief Executive Michel Hebert told shareholders at the company’s 31st Annual General Meeting in Lilongwe. Hebert said network expansion remains TNM’s central strategic priority even as currency constraints complicate operational planning, a stance that reflects the broader pressures facing Malawi’s corporate sector. Shareholders also approved increases to annual sitting allowances, raising the Chairperson’s remuneration from MK10 million to MK12 million and other non‑executive directors’ allowances from MK9 million to MK11 million. Company Secretary Chisomo Governor said TNM is in discussions with the Malawi Communications Regulatory Authority to ensure tariffs reflect prevailing economic conditions. Minority shareholders’ representative Frank Harawa welcomed the dividend performance, saying it would encourage further investment.
