An advice to the undeserving DCs who obtained injunctions against government is that unless you are new in the system, you don’t fight your own employer. Take it from me that you may look clever to day, but think of what your master is planning to do. Lawyers are quick to defend such cases because of the monetary element but will not be there for you all the time.

There is no way councils can perform under the “undeserving DCs. Assign them to other duties please. Makileni promoted these ladies unprofessionary.

Thumbs up Hon Gowelo!!!!!!!!. Clean this dirty ministry so called local government. Makileni There was no such mistake of having more DCs than districts until Amai sent Makileni to distabilise the districts. All those undeserving DCs need to be kicked out. There is low morale among local government officials because of the way some lady DCs were appointed. How can someone on a non-established post be promoted leaving out well deserving officers. Malamulo agwire ntchito basi.Makileni has a case to answer on this because he is the one who mislead JB

MPs should jack up and be concerned with higher level policies, regulations, and statutes e.g. issues in the various sectors e.g environment, violence againnt children and women, road network, agricultural policy, education, social welfare etc.

1. Legal challenges come because controlling officers fail to do very simple things like consulting the affected officers before taking decisions that affect them directly. 2. Let District Commissioners be appointed by a Commission that can be held accountable, not an individual that thinks he/she is the law. 3. MALGA can establish an independent contributory fund. Local government authorities should learn from SACCO. There’s little justification that makes it legitimate for councilors to ask for loans from central government, because their governments are the local governments, District Councils. The Minister should be forthright and MALGA progressive in their thinking. When… Read more »

The loan example you have given is portraying a false picture. You cannot get a loan of K500,000.00 and expected to repay 1 million, unless you repay for a period of over five years.

Can’t Gowelo locate some cute lawyer to file a sort of “constructive demotion” agaist the so-called undeserving DCs? I gather some of high-jumped,Lord, from P7 to P3 on PP ladder.
