Government has pledged continued support to the Malawi Bureau of Standards to enable it to contribute more to economic development.
Chief Secretary to Government, Justin Saidi made the commitment in Blantyre after familiarising himself with the Bureau’s operations.
Speaking to MIJ Online, Saidi said MBS has already contributed to foreign exchange generation and has potential to do more.
Meanwhile, Symon Mandala, Director General for MBS said growing demand for the Bureau’s services requires more modern equipment and staff.
He said this will help MBS strengthen consumer protection by ensuring products meet required standards.
