Members of Parliament (MPs) in Malawi are reported to use at least 10,000 condoms at the end of every month.
It is estimated that the 193 Malawian MPs get three condoms each daily.
This came to light after the Aids Health Foundation donated a total of 206,000 condoms to the Malawi Parliament Secretariat in a bid to check the spread of HIV/AIDS.

Commenting on the donation, parliament’s Health and Wellness Committee Chairperson, Maggie Chinsinga is alleged to have indicated that 10,000 condoms are used every month by Members of Parliament and visitors who access lavatories at parliament building where the condoms are placed.
But her remarks angered the MPs who argued that people will think that they go to Parliament for sex.
‘We don’t need condoms. If we want sex, we can buy. We are not here for sex, we are here to represent the people and bring development to the people out there’, outspoken female Legislator Joy Chitsulo stated.
After heated debate, the Malawian Parliament resolved that the condoms should be returned immediately.
Leader of the House Richard Chimwendo, returning the condoms, said as legislators they do not want condoms, but what they want are face masks.
He maintained that MPs could afford to buy condoms when they want because they have money, stressing the condoms should be donated to people who could not afford them.
Malawi has one of the highest HIV prevalences in the world, with 9.2% of the adult population (aged 15-49) living with HIV.
