Martin Anwel Mtumbuka is a prelate of the Roman Catholic Church currently serving as bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Karonga in Malawi. The diocese was erected by Pope Benedict XVI in 2010 and he appointed Bishop Mtumbuka as its first bishop.
During his time in office, Bishop Mtumbuka has been a strong advocate for the poor, at times criticizing the government for not doing enough to alleviate suffering.[1]
In 2021, he chided government officials for not doing enough saying "the state of the economy is negatively affecting the welfare of people, especially the rural masses who are mostly poor."[2]
