Board to hire new MBC boss, Sumbuleta fired
Malawi Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) is set to undergo a massive shake-up, with new boss set to be hired with interviews set to be carried by the corporation’s board next week following the sacking of MBC director general Aubrey Sumbuleta.
MBC board chairperson the Reverend Vasco Kachipapa said Sumbuleta has been relieved of his duties following a disciplinary hearing that was convened on Thursday.
He said Sunbuleta was found guilty on four grounds of abuse of office and maladministration.
Kachipapa said following the firing of Sumbuleta, Director of Engineering Aideni Gumeni is the acting boss at the national broadcaster.
He disclosed that MBC Director of News and Programmes Vincent Khonyongwa handed in his letter of notice of retirement before being called for disciplinary hearing.
Kachipapa said the new management to be hired is expected to clamp down on political bias within the corporation and ensure professionalism to focus on improving the company’s reputation
“We are supposed to conduct interviews for director general of MBC and that of other directors next week,” Kachipapa said.
The credibility of the MBC was eroded as more and more media become available to consumers.
Meanwhile, Sumbuleta continue to face Malawi Human Rights Commission (MHRC) investigations into sexual harassment allegations lodged against him.
And in DPP short sightedness, they thought Sumbuleta was DPP (wathu) when in actual fact he was UDF.
Amazing the way things happen. Now Sumbuleta finally knows the real world. He lived in an imaginary one.
Lero azichinda pa Kamba and not sexually harrassing women staff.
Paja mukufuna timpunza mwansambo pedegu mzanu. Tiyenazoni. Ife athu ndimaso. This Kwantele Government doesn’t inspire any hope at all.
While this is commendable work in the move to emancipate this country from the yoke of tribalism and in particular, lomwelisation, this Government is in a total mediocrity that is made up of promise givers. Gentlemen, there is nothing happening in the development arena. All what they are doing is administrative management such removing the rubble, that should have happened along with reinvigoration of develop himent drive. The country needs infrastructural investments such as roads, schools, bridges, factories, etc., which this administration stalled across the country. MCP, do not sleep on your work, you will never see the light of the day if you defile the expectations of the electorate. Power should not eat you!! What are you doing to Malawians? Never ever mention things like “wait”. It’s 7 + months. How I wish you were a sober Malawian like me.
It is so hard to deal with development now.we are in a crisis,the world is not the same,things are not normal
Fall of the dragon. He fired many without regard to their welfare and life. He distabilized families. He traumatized staff. He stole big time through dubiius contracts. Welcome aboard Sumbuleta. Now you can buy fuel from your wallet. Now you will oay DSTV. Now you will employ a guard. Now your small boys can attend cheap private schools if not givernments schools. Now you can newspapers. Now you have no official vehicle. Welcome to the real world. Watipezatu.
Interviews without advertising job positions? Mukawatenga ku Nkhoma Synod ma candidates wo a Kachipapa?
George Kasakula here comes the opportunity to show the world that you can transform MBC. Apply for the post.
The HR Manager at MBC don’t sleep on the job. The board chair says interviews will be held next week and yet the post was not circulated in print and electronic media . Wake up and advise the board of at all you the right qualifications and experience on how recruitment is done- internal or external. Kachipapa ndi wa mpingo wa Nkhoma synod And does not know how vacancies are filled unless as someone has already said kuti pali wina Amene akufuna amupatse position yo very likely a Tonse alliance diehard and not a professional. We are waiting to seed the vacancy announcement so that people can apply
APITE A GALU AMENEWA ANKAWONA NGATI MBC NDI COMPANY YA MUTHALIKA NDI DPP YAKEYO.TIWONEKO KAYE ZINA ABALE.
Get the vacancy out, I want to contest for the position too. It has been men on that seat everdince I knew MBC. What is the matter with you people, aaah!
Apite, m’bale wakenso adali oyipanso moyo ali mu Malawi Police zaka zam’buyomu
ankazunza wanthu. Khalidwe la Llomwe lonyasa kwambiri.
U r very very stupid, idiot. Why talk about tribes here? Who are u? Nonsense. People like u r the ones who are destroying our nation with bad characters. Whatever tribe u r, u r chidzete.
That’s what we were expecting.
Stop wearing colors of political parties when you are in government institutions. This should also be a lesson to others.
Agreed
He harvesting what he planted I don’t know chizungu chake koma Moto ukuziyaoa kwasaoa tchire anyway
Life is full of surprises. Birds have really gone to roost………
first mistake. advert ya ma position emenewa mwatulusa liti?
Time is a savage. Time is the master of the game. Welcome to the world of malova. BH ndi pamtengo wa kachere, pothera nkhani. Unkaona ngati ndiwe dolo pochotsa anthu willy nilly!
Lero wakomana nazo, welcome aboard.
Fwatseki. Tere ndani sakudziwa za nyau agenda?
I did not see the advert. I am interested in the job
Apatseni a Kasakula, chifukwa adavutika kuchita campaign Tonse Alliance. Akulephera critical article olo imodzi podikira sikono ya MBC. Koma yayayaya, achewa kunjanja ndi dziko.
Politicians are evil people. They will give you a big position, give you a good salary , nice car , children to learn Kamuzu Academy and then start using you. You won’t have a chance to say No but abide by their instructions. Then when Govt changes hands they dissappear. Just like the way people use a condom. You are lucky if you don’t get arrested but most of the time you face the law. People must learn. Politicians are not good people.
Kkkkkkk nothing suprising; we knew already kuti onse who served in a previous regime would be casualties. Mtumizeni ku embassy akamalize contract yake basi apo bi adzingodya misonkho ya a malawife zaulere mukatero boma eeeee muli umphawi mdziko muno and yet others are just getting paid without sweating because of politics; eeee mdziko langa ili ili ili koma Yesu angobwera msanga adzaweruze ndithu!
Late in the day, isn’t it? The guy should have been shown the exit door ages ago. Nonetheless, it’s good he’s finally going.
MBC Board is very funny. Mr. Kachipapa did you advertise the job nefore sucking the DG or you will advertise the job and proceed with the recruitment next week. As far as I am concerned, this cannot happen. What you are trying to do is to fool Malawians. Advertising a job is not a one day business – you need to run the advert in different media platforms to maximise your reach and get the best qualified candidates. Unfortunately, from whay Kachipapa is saying is apparent that they already have identified their candidates whom they don’t want to face competition.You want to recruit the DG of MBC in the same manner you did with TCC. Advertise the job in the our dailies, website and facebook. We also saw the position of ACB advertised, but I have many questions about this job. I am not surprised though because Tonse wants to plant their own useless person so they can have a grip on MBC for easy manipulation which Malawians didn’t when DPP did the same. WE thought we removed crooks, but now we have murderers.God have mercy.HRDC is simply watching all this nonsense.
If there was a boss who has transformed MBC is the just booted out DG Aubley Simbuleta.My advise is don’t worry bwana.PP government did the same when you were working with MEC.Mulungu saiwale ake.Bye bye
Transformed it kukhala yotukwana yes
