NOTICE OF PROPOSED AMENDMENT

CALL FOR PUBLIC REPRESENTATIONS ON THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE PRIVATE
SOUND BROADCASTING LICENCE AWARDED TO MULHAKHO RADIO

The Malawi Communications Regulatory Authority (MACRA) would like to inform the general public that it intends to
amend section 29.1 of the Private Sound Broadcasting Licence that it awarded to Mulhakho Radio to read as follows:

Section 29:1 Roll-Out Obligation

The Licensee shall roll-out its broadcasting services in Malawi within fourteen (14) months from the Effective Date.
Rationale for the Amendment
The proposed amendment is being made following Mulhakho Radio’s request for a six (6) month roll-out extension due
to scarcity of forex required to pay the equipment supplier.
Call for Representations
Pursuant to section 53 of the Communications Act, Cap. 68.01 of the Laws of Malawi, MACRA would like to call the
general public and all interested persons to make representations on the proposed amendments within twenty-eight (28) days
from the date of this publication.
AU representations should be sent via either the surface mail or e-mail to the address below by close of business on
