This culture of airing dirty laundry in public needs to be stopped. Che Mkando, if Mr. Ntata has gained favor in the political world…that’s the name of the game! Now, it is different if he is abusing his position and being corrupt. Stop being jealous! All the nonses about expensive this and that is mere jealous! Loook around in your world, people who are connected gain certain privilages (That is the real story of life…the real deal). So get a life Mr.Mkando!!
Congrats Allan. This guy just deserves what he has been offered. Not because he was on TVM advocating for continuity of the present Govt, but simply becaus he is qualified… Unless if he was not, one could be worried and shout… appeasement!!!! This is not. Allan is one great mind. He never stops to ask intelligent questions. And he never runs dry with answers in the event he has been confronted with a situation that requiers answers. And to spice it up… He is young.. This is a ponter to the young generation of Malawians who excel themselves. You work hard you will be put to hights you never imagined. Who could have thought that a person of Allan’s age could attain such a high position? Its happening.
Those of you who are talking about him been appointed to that position because of connection, hey you all, who can connect with a fool? Allan is not and thats why he could connect with the highest authority in the land. Congrats young man. Go and prove yourself and vindicate the President that he made the right decission.
Nthenda yaikulu yomwe a Malawi imativuta ndi kuiwala zowawa zomwe takumana nazo. We are used to being offered job through the back door. We are used to short cuts. If there is noone to back u to get a job through proper channels,u end up rotting in hell with ur degrees.Nepotism or favouritism,tribalism is still there in all the corners of Malawi. Allan Ntata may posses all what it requires for one to be offered a job but proper channels were not followed after being backed by his church fellow member Bright Malopa. Chilungamo chili pati pamene abale anu kapena anzanu omwe simuwakonda akukanika kupeza ntchito? Most of the people who doesnt feel the pain are those who have been sent to China,USA, UK and other countries for further studies or other diplomatic missions by their relatives who have got strong links with the current government politically. And these people who are in overseas countries sent by Muntharika government dont qualify. Ndiye mudziti ndi nsanje imeneyi? Once again,congrants to Allan Ntata though i strongly feel that Bright Malopa proposed and backed ur name for being fellow church members. Wake up Malawi and fight for the future generation!
Firstly let I congratulate Mr Allan Ntata for being appointed to such high office.You really deserve it .And I personally know that Mr Ntata will perform to desired standard . Mr President I salute you for this appointment.He really deserved it . And to those people who are good at criticizing any appointment done by the High Office ,let you know that its the prerogative of the President to appoint, transfer, fire ,remove and even demote an individual who is performing or not .And let I salute the State President for this . Mr President feel free to do whatever you think is good for the benefit of the rural mass . The Malawians are with you .
Dr Bruce Munthali, congratulations on your new position. It is just the beginning of a journey with newer opportunities and scopes. You are such a multi-talented man and I wish you blessings in your new role.You deserve it!
