Just as Malawi's legislators were about to go into day two of their mid-term budget review meeting, the country's parliamentary...
In some cases, he does even powers to appoint people. He just abuses. If you read many of the Acts of parliament, especially for parastatals, you will find that it is the board that has powers to appoint the CEO, but the president steals the powers from the board. E.g MBC, MACRA. The board is supposed to appoint the CEO. So the problem is abuse of office. Unfortunately, no one challenges the president for abuse of office.
Zakhala bwino, tonse tizikachita interview osangoti “it has pleased the president” and yet amakhala andale atapereka maina a anthu omwe akuwafuna kuti akwezedwe. Anthu olimbikira ntchito n’kumangotuwa odyerera n’kukhala anthu aulesi, mediocrity at its best! Congrats to APM for considering to have some of his powers reduced. It takes a Democrat to accept such. The next 5 years things will be different in the public sector when the proposal is put into being.
Public appointment should really be in the hands of this commission otherwise our nation will be heading to another disaster. I dislike how these position being appointed by president it seems there some bad advissors who advise president wrongly that’s you see these appointment being in this way which is very bad. And am still praying for my country because these so called politicians are destroying this beautiful country. Any way only God can judge them.
Nice article emily
I do agree with you, Emily but these politicians will try as much as possible to cheat us. I have lost trust now. National debate turns into personal attacks and campaign issue.
They will always find means of going round the ‘firing and redeploying people.’ Just to reward their supporters and relatives, and as a means of punishing the apparent opposition. Yet for someone to grow needs opposition or resistance.
In their minds we are reduced to tourists and not citizens of this country.
Very true.I have seen budding professionals being dumped and just stay at home yet are highly qualified.reason of being at home being they served previous administration. Izi za giving presidents powers zithe
this is the way to go, we should have trodden this way long time ago. However, we are heading there now. Thumbs up malawi.
, I don’t agree at all with you when you say Army commander being deputy CEOS is same as president being made DC. That’s too extreme an example. First our military commanders should avoid being seen political and should be accountable. Up to now Cashgate is being piled on MDF and yet they are refusing access to ACB…
On chiefs, my position is clear. We are a republic thus chieftainship should be abolished. It runs contra to our republican constitution. In the modern world, power obtained through hereditary means should not exist.
GOOD ANALYSIS . EXAMPLE IS PIRILANI PHIRI OF ZBS WITH HIS TIUZENI ZOONA, NOW THE PROGRAM IS LESS ATRACTIVE AFTER HE WAS FISHED OUT FROM THE RADIO FOR CHILIMA.
