But you Ralph as the journalist was supposed to read the boards act (or whatever they call it) and tell us specifically what the act says, what it’s shortfalls are and possibly how it can be improved. Nanga nawenso ungobwera yaviyavi apa wondering with the rest of us what these boards are all about. Nowadays u are feeling yourself too much that you are losing direction. You have become fat wither our praises and u are turning into mose wa lero. Change ur ways

When you critically analyse the Malawian thinking fabric one tend to conclude that we are poor because our thinking is so poor. Malawi as country will never develop for the coming 250 years simply because Malawians reason as kindergatten learners. The East Asians Tigers of Singapore etc developed because of technocrats not foolish boards that include intellectualky challenged chiefs. Sorry thus gospel truth

Where are we heading to as a Church?? I am sure some members of the clergy have been appointed in order to eat “blue scones” and be silenced in order not to speak for voiceless. Actually the number of the clergy from “that tribe” are majority. But I am not surprised to see the name of one high-ranking cleric who recently spoke against federalism being named chair of one corporation. I thought as a church we are supposed to be apolitical?? Our we ready as Judas to betray the poor people we are supposed to serve??

Buying CSO’s silence. After 5 month since he is in Office, the only thing he can present to malawians is his Wedding and Mulakho. The rest is chaos upon chaos.

I was a Board member of one of the strategic utility organization in Blantyre. There r a million problems in the board but one of the GREATEST problems was to get approval from Government, if the board makes a strategic decision which requires urgent implementation forget it-u will not get it! Government is the slowest decision maker, some of our strategic plans have been gathering dust for the past 2years and this costs money! When government puts three or four professionals in a board they can make the board tick, a clear example r those boards which r now making… Read more »

Nothing but the whole truth. Do we really need all those board chairs etc with our troubled economy? Plundering resources at its best. I salute you Tenthani, just like Edward Chitsulo, George Kasakula, you are among the few journalists whom I put in high esteem. I don’t miss reading your impartial and analytical articles. Keep it up please

Now Tenthani tell us where should the President get the people to sit on these boards? Outside the country? Uk, US, Zambia, Japan or from your family? Foolish boy you are. Kagwere uko!

There are many competent Malawians, capable of running the affairs of parastatals as board members. There are the George Partridges and Thom Mpinganjiras of this world. You mean John Kapito or Chief Ngolingoliwa is better qualified to sit on the boards than these personalities with a proven track record of corporate governance? It is such reasoning that will keep Malawi at the current level of development for the next fifty years. It’s now time for business unusual.

As much as I agree with Raphael and Thindwa’s views on Capital FM Sunday Round table discussion I have bad news! The names sent to State House by the Statutory Corporation and OPC for approval are completely different to the list which was released by State House. We know it is the prerogative of the Head of State to appoint boards but why bother Statutory Corporations and OPC in compiling a list of professionals to take up board appointments when u know that there is another list which has already been prepared by the Ruling Party?
