An event presenting an audit of the first 100 days in office of Malawi's President Lazarus Chakwera is under way in the capital, Lilongwe.

The secretary to the cabinet, Zangazanga Chikhosi, has outlined the initiatives approved by the cabinet to ease the cost of production for farmers.

Vice-President Saulos Chilima said the new administration is in the process of reforming public service to ensure improved service delivery.

President Chakwera is expected to address the nation during the event and highlight the policies his administration will undertake.

He vowed to unite the country and fight poverty during his inauguration in June
