Chakwera gets tough: Moves to dissolve boards of directors for 60 parastatals

1. The boards are political appointments and they should be dissolved. In actual sense we all know that dpp used to abuse the parastatals. Money was being siphoned out to fund party activities. At the same time, why should Chakwera or Chilima keep the likes of Brown Mpinjanjira and other dpp cadres in the boards. MBC should be revamped to serve the interest of Malawians. We have the civil service commission that has dpp cadres who were there to see that only the lomwes got jobs. We have MRA deputy commissioner general Rosa Mbilizi who is a cadet. Why and why?

2. This is chilima doing this..not chakwela

3. one by one

4. attack them ,plune them , conquer them

5. What’s the story here? This happens every time we change presidency.

6. Bwana H.E what about MRA and MERA? mufikenso kumeneku

7. Clean up is needed,so Mr president you are in the right direction, clean the mess.

8. Yeeeeees! – Get them! – the days for Ali Baba and his band of 40 thieves are over! ………please don’t forget to send all cashgaters to prison

9. Zayamba bwino. Government can get the right personnel to fill up these Boards from professional bodies in the country, for instance, ICAM, BOARD OF ENGINEERS, MALAWI LAW SOCIETY, ECAM, etc. Osati kumatenga azinyakwawa, ma constituency governors, party zealots, etc. These people do not perform as expected. Most of them use their positions for self enrichment. Malawi sadzakonzeka ndi anthu akunja. Malawi adzakonzeka ndi ife eni ake. Bravo Government for the timely decision. As you constitute the Boards, remember to clean up Management teams also. New Board vs old management combination does not bring significant performance change to these Parastatals. We want New Boards + New Management in all parastatals as a meaningful and significant performance turn-arround strategy.

10. Dr. Chakwera please consider also to remove all those corrupt CEO’s on all Parastatals, they have gone filthy rich. Investigate them.

11. This is a good move and welcome development! Even newly weds if either of them had a House-help whilst single, after the wedding the House-help will be let go so the couple can start on a clean slate!

    Those with clean hands will be reappointed to serve the nation koma mbava zonse and all incompetent fellows have to be shown the exit door! Its time to rebuild a new Malawi.

    You do not put new wine in old wineskins kapena tinene kuti sutenga chigamba chakale kusoka pansalu yanyuwani!!

12. Good move Mr President. Let merit be the parameter for filling people into any position.

13. All these board members are political appointments. This move was expected. Just watch where 70% of the replacement will come from. This is all easy but the tough nut to crack will be to suck lhomwe people who were employed through the HR procedures and are permanent employees.

    1. Redeployment brother, very simple

       1. @Victory
          To Malaka, Khombedza, Mbalachanda, etc. kkkkk, Ndizomwe DPP ankapanga a DPP

14. Yeeeees.

15. 60 parastatals??? And that is not even all of them!

    And all with their own boards, secretariat, staff, etc etc.

    What an absolute waste of hard-earned taxpayers money.

    At least half of these can be privatised.

    The government has no business appointing boards of universities or colleges. They should be independent.

    Airport management companies, hotels, Cotton Council? Atomic Energy?

    We don’t need to waste our hard-earned money for a cotton council or atomic energy.

    That will be a real reform and change for Malawi.

    Any purpose these organisations serve can be carried out by their respective industries or other stakeholders.

    This will also have the benefit of making them free of government interference and to function more effectively.

    The government should have no business in such things.

    We are already in enough debt as it is.

16. Yeah….thats it.!! He said he was going to clean up filth and corrupt pple from various gvt bodies and thats exactly what he is doing….everyone who keeps question his moves on this or any other forum is nothing but a big F**ing cadet and an enemy of progress who is grieving through finding silly things to question jus becoz Dpp is out of power….and if u feel u hav a nasty comeback to my comment…you are in that category of foolishnes am talking about.

    Otherwise its time to clean up dirt in this nation.

17. President, just chair where the majority of the Board Chair and Board Members are coming from. You will agree with me that over 75% are from Lomwe.

    1. I know this is popular perception in these shores, but back it up with evidence please not just hearsays

    2. Atumbuka okhaokha makamaka ku lands mukwecheko bwana

18. H.E Chakwera, you have started work. You have dissolved Board of Directors. Now remember to check Government Offices, most of them Controlling Officers are big Cadets, mostly from Lomwe Belt. Game Changer Hon Dr. Saulos Klaus Chilima can do it better. These few days these big Cadets have managed kutulutsa ndalama za misonkho ya a Malawi. Don’t trust them.

    1. Zoona, plz bwana president for example ku National Hebarium kuli cadet wamkulu ambuye che Siyani chairman wa Alomwe tithandizeni kuchotsa mfiti imenei

19. Kikiki, watching!!!

20. Rot is running away like 🦀 in a pot ready to boil over a fire 🔥🔥🔥🐓🐓🐓 heath 😂😂😂💪🏾🇲🇼

21. Will the Government be forced to pay compensation to these board members by dissolving their contracts if they had contracts early by terminating them?
    Would think the first thing they would have ordered is an audit? Can understand termination once irregularities found.
    This appears as a cleansing of DPP.
    Not a fan of DPP but some are more than capable in doing their jobs. We have TO WORK TOGETHER for a better Malawi it is NOT us against Them.

    1. Cadet tu kulira uku kkkkkkkk

       1. Mukhalira kunena kuti cadet kulira for every reasonable outside advice given, and in 5 years times you will achieve nothing of sort to move this country forward but witchhunt court cases in the name of fighting corruption.

       2. No news here

    2. Do you become a board member on contract?

    3. They can be re-appointed if the President finds them fit to do the job otherwise Board dissolution is the prerogative of the president and these guys do not have contracts – its simply presidential appointment that can be revoked at any time!!!

    4. My dear,you cant have a proper audit when the one with soiled hands is still heading the board

    5. You don’t need the board of directors to conduct an audit. Keeping the board will hinder the audit process as some board members would be trying to protect themselves. Good Move by the President.

       There is no monopoly on good ideas. DPP also had some good ideas and very capable people. I pray those with good intentions and clean hands are given a second look.

22. Time for Chakwela to start filling the boards with his nyau friends. Nonsense

    1. Eyetu. Day 5 of 1895 Days in Opposition.

       This will be fun to watch. Hehehehe

       Good luck getting back in government anytime soon. MCP will now rule for at least the next 30 years.

       Viva Malawi! Viva Chakwera!

       1. Haha you have jokes 2025 is Chilimas turn

    2. Waonatu kkkkkk bwaloli ndi lolandirana. Inu mwavinamo anzanu avinemo. Ine kumva tseketseke.

23. Where is MERA?

    1. Yes mera the VPs apongozi stole kumeneko please audit

24. Omashemba akatenga boma ndichoncho

25. Where are those people that used to dispute that it is possible to create 1m jobs…ichi ndi chiyambi chabe onse amangolowa opanda ma qualification am sure pano they be shaking and sweating.

    1. That’s not how you create jobs buddy. Jobs are created by creating new investment or expanding opportunities. This is cleansing of old replace with new

       1. @Sarah, that’s exactly how a million jobs will be created. Nanga munthu waku Jerusalem University kukhala minister? This is just the beginning. Next is recalling all diplomats which will also create thousands of jobs for the right people not alhomwe. Paja niece wa Getu a former primary school teacher was sent to represent Malawi in Pretoria. I hope she’s already back on her own! Then there’s the kind of Sawerengera in US and the other guy in Brazil whose contracts expired 4 years ago but are still clinging to power on taxpayers money. Let them come back on their own dime and strip them off diplomatic privileges.

    2. Jerusalem University is welcoming all who want quick qualifications. APM is now one of the university’s professors. Enroll to get your degrees within one month.

       1. kkkkkkkk to the maximum..

    3. These are not jobs. Board members don’t have salaries but honoraria, paid quarterly. Even if they were jobs, you don’t create jobs by making others jobless.

       1. Beg to differ. If they were jobs, you create more by hiring high performing individuals and loss prevention (of resources) that way you have money to put back and hire more people through expansion.

26. Game on! separate the wheat from the chaff!

27. Now, this will be a good test to see if the change that we wanted is here.

28. Please add Macra to the list. Major irregualrities and corruption there too.

29. Ya mumva mbebiiii mumayenda mbali,pano muyenda pakati kikikikikikikii,ESCOM,EGENCO

30. Chiyambi chodana ndi anthu ichi.Saulos Chilima is the motion mover of this action.We will see.He wants to feature all their friends.Lets see what are they going with this

    1. Battery ya galimoto yikatha mphamvu galimoto imalephera kupanga start. Galimoto ya Tonse alliance singayende ndi ma batteries akale kkkkkkkkkkkk

    2. The appointments will go to a diverse group of people across Malawi and will earn the new administration more goodwill.

       Next move is cleaning up the actual management of these parastatals.

       26 years of looting is over! Time to account or go to prison.

       1. would love you to come back with a list of the new appointees to these boards. Care to bring the list wih the districts of origin and then we can take it up from there

31. oooh shaa

32. nyekhwe

33. Mbambande….clean up ichitike basi

    1. Zoona galimoto ya Tonse alliance izichita kukankhidwa ndi ma batteries akalewa! Kkkkkkkkkkkk bola kugulidwe a nyuwani basi! kkkkkkkkkkk
