The Ministry of Justice said that while government has been engaging stakeholders for their input into the proposed Human Resource Bill, the new law will be deliberated at cabinet level before the end of the year and then be tabled to Parliament for deliberation.

The Minister of Justice and Constitutional Affairs, Bright Msaka, revealed the news during the opening of the Institute of People Management Malawi (IPMM) Annual Lakeshore Conference held under the theme ‘Energising Business Leadership; a Focus on Human Capital Management”, where Msaka revealed that other professions such as accounting, auditing, law and procurement are regulated by specific Acts of Parliament.

He said since human resource management practitioners are the custodians and enforcers of staff motivation and discipline in the workplace, they need to be exemplary in terms of performance standards, professionalism, adherence to ethics and integrity
