They added “as for the staff we have been told to meet our managers on Friday at Mzuzu hotel .

However, OIBM officials are yet to issue a comment on the matter.

It’s a shame to these people from centre and south because they don’t know how decent North is. They are deceived by greedy politicians who need their vote. Yet Malawi is the poorest in the world.SHAME.Ruled by them who say are better people.For them to know school they have to block intelligent students out.Open your eyes idiots.

This Bank was managed poorly especially in the North
Nothing is decent in the north including people

What has caused the closures is poor performance. This has resulted from loss of potential customers as as all rich Tumbukas have gone down to the central and southern regions and have settled there. How can the northern regions develop like this?
