Ouch! You're right! I mis-read that ... seems like the standard didn't want to have non-ambiguous name. Well ...

Message:
According to [1], the currency name "Kwacha" is used twice, for Malawi and Zambia. Although we could rename it to "Malawi Kwacha" and "Zambia Kwacha", I think it would be a diversion from the standard, and I'm a bit hesitating to apply such a change.
