he is thought to have detonated explosives earlier this week. malawi's president has been sworn in after a bitterly disputed election. the main target of vote fraud claims and a week ago and four days after the election the current president tried to have the vote counting process scrapped and ordered a new poll promising she wouldn't stand again. well, just hours later the high court overruled president banda and the counting went on. on tuesday the election commission ordered a total recount of votes. on friday the high court stepped in again, refusing to delay results any further and minutes later the winner was declared. let's speak with joseph gibson, a member of the malawi congress party. as opposition, joseph, do you

now recognize the results, and accept the president-elect of malawi? >> we realize there is a president-elect, but we continue to say that the process was not credible at all. >> on what basis do you say that the process was not credible? do you have any specific allegations about irregularities that your party keeps bringing up? >> well, the malawi process legal team discovered there was a manipulation of data right within the commission. they made their arguments known

to the commission as well as to the courts, but unfortunately we just did not have our way. but we still continue to believe there was something seriously wrong with the process. however, we are entering into government now, parliament, with over 70 members of parliament from a number of 26 from the previous government, and we are confident that the ncb is stronger than ever. >> you, however, did not succeed in your own personal run for parliament. >> i beg your pardon? >> i'm asking about your own run for seat in parliament, which was not successful. >> yes, my run was really good. the campaign was slept, but

again the voting process was interrupted by violence. less than 50% actually voted because voting was taking place in the night where there were no lights. people were using torches. a lot of women did not vote. in fact, i along with other candidates are asking the commission to consider a rerun in our particular constituency. you may have heard one of the centers was actually set ablaze. you know, it was very unfortunate that while other people were still in the process of voting some radio stations were resulting announces from other polling centers. and this is just one of those signs that the actually process was flawed in many ways. >> as a matter of priority, joseph, let me get your thoughts now that the president-elect has

been sworn n and the country does have a president, as a matter of priority what would you like to see him tackle first in the country? >> well, something is wrong request the system. from judicial to the executive to the legislature, and it is the issue of corruption. that's the bottom line. there are some things that have happened because of the use of money, and we need to get at the bottom of why it is that our system just does not have accountability measures. i personally, and with the malawi congress party, we would like to challenge the president-elect to look at this issue, especially the constitution. as you may have noticed the constitution of malawi did not really have any clauses that

were written to cover or to counter the challenges that we face in the most recent days. it is a priority for government to look at the constitutional review. we know he is a lawyer, and we're confident that he will take the core seriously. >> thank you very much for speaking to us. >> foreign people were once welcome in georgia to buy agriculture land but many farmers in asia are forced to leave because their visa extensions have been denied. >> reporter: managing 80 heck tears of georgia land. they may have to return home.

robberies in major cities involve cell phones. more than 3 million devices were stolen in the united states last year alone. >> annie and her family have joined forces with law enforcement to convince smart phone makers and carriers to install kill switches. >> the industry has fought back against a mandatory kill switch saying it could make the phone vulnerable to hawkers. >> reporter: major industry players have agreed to include free anti-theft tools in their phones starting in july of 2015. but the catch is you have to activate the switch before the phone is stolen. >> thieves won't steel your phone if it's going to be an useless piece of plastic as soon as you report it stolen. if this technology is on every phone, that's a great

deterrent. if that's opt in, maybe that thief has a chance that you didn't take the time to set it up. >> reporter: she says that the kill switch should be automatic. >> if it could save a life it has to be implemented. >> reporter: to stop what is not a victimless crime. >> here at the al jazeera news hour, the world cup venues, the graffiti artists in brazil. and in sport robin will have the latest from the french open as the rising star continues with her best run ever.
