Lilongwe, June 27, Mana:  Corporate Affairs Manager for Telekom Networks Malawi (TNM), Limbani Nsapato, says the newly introduced civil servants’ bundles will ease communication and bring efficiency within the civil service management of operations.

In an interview on Thursday, Nsapato said the civil servants bundle falls under the Yathu bundle category which incorporates data, SMS and voice bundles that are affordable to help operations of the civil servants.

“This bundle will only be accessed by civil servants recognized by the Malawi government. We have engaged the civil servants’ data base which we will be using for their registration and enrollment for them to be able to buy the bundles,” he said.

He highlighted that the bundle is now in operation and it is a permanent initiative that will be serviced by its agents across the country.

“Subscription is done by the civil servants registering with TNM and once registered they will be able to buy the bundles at their own discretion when need arises,” stated Nsapato.

According to a comment made on social media, one of the civil servants said the company’s initiative is a move in the right direction saying it will help them minimize excessive spending on data bundles.

“To me this is a good move because if you can calculate the amount of money we spend every month on internet and voice bundles you will see that it is very huge and buying in advance will drastically reduce weekly bundle purchases,” said the comment.

On the other hand, some civil servants have expressed concern that the bundles are still inaccessible despite its enrollment upon dialing *656# or through the TNM App.

The TNM Yathu bundles for civil servants will be offered through a partnership between TNM and the government of Malawi with the subscription fees deducted directly from the civil servant’s salary.
