Email a copy of 'Admarc board by-passed in ‘maizegate’ – Masumbu' to a friend
Malawi Congress Partry (MCP) has said the major problem in the country is corruption and has called on President Peter...
A few points to note on this so called maizegate scandal 1. Masumbu and Board were informed about plans to borrow money from PTA Bank. So they are quite aware there was money to be borrowed from PTA. 2. By his own admission what was this money for? To purchase maize. 3. What was his Boards input therefore going forward? He does not say. 4. Operational matters in as far as standard organisational arrangements are concerned is the preserve of the Chief Executive/Managing Director of the organisation. In this case Mulumbe in his own wisdom decided to buy maize from… Read more »

just to add thought to this debate. I find Masumbu to be a brilliant lawyer and risk taker. The fact that he has said the board was bypassed just shows that stakes in this issue in that it was ‘illegal’ in that if company decision makers were not involved then its illegally sanctioned and if Judge Msosa is level headed the Board Chair is just telling the nation that. Those people who do not see nothing wrong. This is fishy from the start. Here should note these things: a) ADMARC decision makers are saying they were not involved in the… Read more »
Alright. I really think all we need is clarification. I personally doubt if there were any wrong doing in this procurement. When procurring locally, ie from local suppliers, during the same period (May to November 2016), ADMARC was paying MK250 a kilo for this staple grain. Now, considering the much talked about MK26,000,000,000 (of course, at the current exchange rate), the maize must’ve been i mported at MK260 a kilo inclusive of transport (from what we are told)! Now, does this seem unlikely? How likely is it that it could have been bought at a lower price than this? Now,… Read more »
Chief your anlysis indicates that you are a shallow thinker.The issue is simple here. Goverment overspent by 9.5 billion coz of using a middle man instead of dealing straight with the Government of Zambia.The question is WHY did ADMARC prefer using a middle man than dealing straight with the Govt Of Zambia.Something smells fishy here.
If you want to solve the problem get to the loot cause of the problem ok, goat bears goat, if this is a dude board chair then some one who appoint this dude is a dude ..Now what to do next , down with the dude that appoints board chairperson/s, down with the dude that appoint rotten ministers then It will make sense when you want to bring sanity in the process of putting the right people in the right positions.
Masumbu should be a stupid lawyer.
Are you serious telling us today that you were bypassed.
Are you serious really.
So if that was the case, what did you do.
You were waiting for the media to unveil it.
You were indeed educated by mistake.
Tikamati boma ili muli kuba kwadzaoneni , inu mukutsutsa sizimenezi? A PAC tiyenawoni agwidwe basi.
This deal was sealed by the Minister and all other suppliers were ignored or left out without proper reasons. Anduna ndinanena zikutsamwani lero ndiizi.
Where the maize is bought from is an operational matter. The board approved the principle and that was enough unless if ADMARC has an executive board or its management were specifically requested to advise the board at every stage. I am sure ADMARC has a board meeting every quarter and this should have been reported. Mr Masumbu, are you telling us that the management lied to the board as well? If so, then recommend to DSB for the CEOs immediate suspension to pave way for investigations. I hope Justice George Bakuwa did not die because of this impending scandal as… Read more »
