Ambassador Ngwenya trashes allegations: ‘Work of frustrated recalled staff’

Malawi’s ambassador to Japan, Brigadier Reuben Ngwenya has dismissed as ‘100% untrue’ a report that said he has created a demi-god status and for himself.

Ngwenya was accused of disregarding all diplomatic protocol in pursuit of a personal agenda in Japan.

But the diplomat has emphatically denied the claims in an interview with Nyasa Times from Tokyo.

Ngwenya said it was “categorically, 100%, untrue” in what the report said, accusing the recalled diplomats at the embassy who he said are peddling “propaganda” against him.

“It’s a work of frustrated recalled diplomats who are peddling lies to turning my good image,” the diplomat said

“I do not appoint people to come to work at the embassy and I also do not recall officials,” he said.

He said the “haters” should direct their “frustrations” elsewhere other than fabricating stories for him.

Ngwenya said he will not be distracted as he will continue serving Malawi government accordingly.
