Malawi appoints ambassador to Geneva
Former Director of Malawi Investment Trade Centre (MITC) Robert Salama has been appointed as the ambassador to the newly established foreign embassy in Geneva.
The appointment has been made by the President and will have to be confirmed by Public Appointments Committee (PAC) of parliament.
Principal Secretary for the Office of the President and Cabinet, (OPC) Chinthu Phiri confirmed the appointment .
According to Phiri , it’s a requirement that Malawi should have offices in Geneva as a UN member.
According to The Nation, the ambassador designate, in June 2014, served as witnesses and signed the marriage registers for the wedding of the president held at St Micheals and All Angels Church.
Nepotism – a practice of employing relatives or friends in one’s organisation even if outsider were better qualified. That’s the sedition which I got. So I have got one question, if the CEO has a relative with Masters degree & all other people who have applied for the job have got Bachelors degrees, is employing the relative who is highly qualified considered nepotism?????
If it’s true that he is related to Peter then it’s up to you guys The Public Appointments Committee to shoot this appointment down. Malawi is for every Malawian, there are a lot of capable people out there whether they’re from Nsanje, Chitipa or anywhere it doesn’t matter.
Everything that you journalists post for the nation to read is now just always negative. Instead of just posting the development which is there, you want to politicise every move government has done. What is your problem?
@ ankhoma point 51. Umbuli wa alomwe ndiumenewu kkkk! I quote “write person” kkkk English yakwa goliyati ku Thyolo ndiimeneyi. He is the “write” person indeed hahahaha.
Lets stop crying and build Malawi in unison. All of us cannot be appointed ambassadors .Fatsani udindo mulandira bola zokuyenerezani mukhale nazo.
Munavotera Abiti Namaloko/Yona Lero Ukumafuna Kuti APM Akupatse Udindo.
Ndiye Muliratu Sumanati Atombolombo.
Whether related to the president or not the big question should be can he manage the high profile mission. For me this man in question has laboured his way up not where he comes from or who he is related to? There are a lot of competent people I know from Thyolo should they not be considered on grounds of qualification and experience.
Bola kumagwira ntchito mmakomo mwa wanthu konkuno kusiyana ndi kumakanyamula mabin ku joni, xeno bwa?
akanakhala mtumbuka tikanauzidwa za ma degree omwe ali nao, his experience etc. But because he is from Thyolo, eish! Yalakwa!
To those who are against Salama’s appointment: Please list the facts, as they relate to the job, which make this man unqualified. Not just generalities.
And remember, his home base or origin is irrelevant here. Just facts baasi.
