Chilima demands disciplinary action on errant parastatal organizations

1. Time management. Incompetent people hold these positions. Pretty much they’re the same ones who were late to the meeting. Fire them! They got in those positions by virtue of being a Lhomwe, they’re not qualified

2. Chilima should indeed be disciplined for misleading Malawians on COVID.

   1. it seems english is a problem to you sir kkkkkk

   2. Don’t forget the president must also be disciplined on covid19
      Information

      1. Medson you don’t understand English. Go back to school

   3. Banda you don’t understand English. Please go back to school

3. Thanks chakwera and Chilima that is great leadership, next time adzapanga machawi,mwina nga DPP akufuna kumapanga delays ngat atate awo amunthalika . Government yinasintha, akuyenera kusatira za new government,osawanyengere mbava zimenezi zikubisa chiyani. Deal with anyone hiding something.

   1. True true true 💯%

4. ma Indians ku Salima sugar company ngati ali illegal amangidwa?????????????????

   1. Deport them.

5. KP IT UP MR VP. WE NEED SERIOUSNESS IN PUBLIC SECTOR KUTI AMALAWI TITHANDIZIKE. YEMWE AKUFINYIKAYO ATULE PANSI UDINDO MULOWE ANA AMACHAWI NGATI INU BWANA.

6. I fail to understand why the Malawi institute of Management (MIM), of all entities, should fail to submit the report in time. They are supposed to be Management Consultants themselves; they are the guys who conduct consultancies on organisational reform and development, organisational functional reviews, job evaluation, management audits, etc. They are supposed to be the guys who should teach us report writing, project proposal writing, TIME MANAGEMENT, etc.

   In fact they are supposed to be the guys who should have advised the other parastatals on how to write a good STATUS REPORT.

   SMEDI has beaten MIM to it. SMEDI has demonstrated that it PRACTISES WHAT IT TEACHES.

   SHAME ON YOU, MIM!👎🙈

   MIM inali yakale ija ya achina Ben Kandoole, Sydney Chikoti, Alimon Mwase, Harold Kuchande, Precious Jiyah, Justin Nyondo, just to name but a few; not this current bunch of pseudo-professionals.👎👎🙈🙈👎👎🙈🙈

7. Not only in the public sector Mr. Chilima, the same slumber exists also in the private sector. But you should know?!
   Anyway, we appreciate your big engagement and your tremendous efforts to bring this public non- or under performing organization up to speed!
   High efficiencies, punctuality, fast and pragmatic service to the public is paramount!
   This deliberate delay in ordinary public procedures and services must come to an end!-
   Therefore we need standardised time frames! For example a utility connection, takes not more than one month after application, a passport not more than 3 working days…
   This will help government on the fight against corruption and saves us some bribes!
   Lastly, everything stands and failed with the quality of Human Resources! Of course best, servant Leadership in the public field, is paramount and you VP and your Boss spearheading this as a role model, but all the way down the line we need motivated, energetic, knowledgeable and reliable staff, and there is where the problem comes in!
   Since the upcoming of multiparty democracy our society, starting from the education sectors, loose big times out on this!
   Finally, we have to move away of paying public
   bills, fees, rates and fine in cash! Nowadays we can pay it through online banking, debit-/ credit cards , mobile money or through the banks etc. We hardly can find POS machines in our public offices and we all know how vurnable cash is in the hands of our service women and men!

8. Chilima himself deserves to be disciplined for misleading Malawians about COVID-19.

   1. @Finye: ndiwedi wosokonekera ubongo, hetini? Nkhani iri apa ndiya ma parastatals osati COVID-19, shaa!!

      1. Nkhani ndi ya discipline. Kumamvetsetsa zinthuzi.

      2. Misunderstanding nkhani yili apo ndiya discipline

   2. Cadet bakha 🦆 phweeeeeeee

9. Very good start olemekeza.

10. In any business targets must be:
    1. Achievable
    2.Measurable
    3.Realistic
    4.Time realistic
    If you set targets which are over ambitious not only do they fail but also you demotivate your employees.
    5.Autocratic leadership in Business always ends in a failure.
    6.Here we are talking about small, medium and large organization. How on earth can these institutions with different volumes of activity be given same deadline!
    7. Was the deadline discussed with these institutions or just imposed on them?
    8.where are we here Top _, bottom leadership style?
    9. Leadership where middle managers have no automomy
    10. Decisions are made quicker because middle managers’ contributions are ignored
    11.However employees are demotivated and in General such institutions work in fear and results mostly are always nose dive.
    12. Consultation Consultation Consultation
    13. Autocratic type leadership is a recipe for disaster.
    14.we expect to hear more about what autocratic measures are being taken to slow down Covid 19
    15. Before we start imposing sanction or disciplinary measures to these CEO we need to go back and set realistic targets.
    16. Teachers do you agree with me that you can not start punishing pupils akapambuka paseri pantengo pasukulopo if the school has not yet constructed toilets nor enough toilets!

    1. So they should have just ignored the deadline? Why not ask for more time? You are from MIM aren’t you?

       1. I’m not from MMI my friend if I may call you. I’m from Business community/Economics/Business Administration and the rest of it

    2. But in any case, whether big or small an institution should be ready to report any at time. This could be no brainer to a performer

       1. 1.Ofcourse yes, institutions are meant to be reporting either quarterly reports or yearly reports.
          2. I don’t know whether Chilima’s demand for a report: Was it quarterly or yearly report.
          Or just an ambush.
          3. If these CEO make a premature report because an autocratic leader wants it on his desk, do not blame them of a misleading report if they make lots of errors.
          4.Companies/institution have an obligation to make such reports in a time frame as set in their policies.
          5.If you want to ambush them the first thing is to change their policies so that they are aware of new policies of ambush.
          6.we should not start swallowing before chewing.
          7. If there is no law then noone will be deemed to have committed a crime.
          8. Refer these CEO to a violation in their institution policies which amount to this political sanctions by a politician.
          9. This overspeeding by Chilima which ignores all the process, procedures and company law is a catastrophe

       2. 1.Yes institution have the obligation to report their institutions’ status whether quarterly or yearly as set out in their policies.
          2. I don’t know if this ambush demand was meant to meet a legally quartery or yearly report as set in their policies.
          3. We need to follow insitution policies and stop using unknown ambush policies by politicians.
          4.if there is a need to divert to ambush policies, first change the policies and put it in writing that ministers will request an ambush report at anytime of their choosing.
          5. Where there is no Law no one is deemed to have broken the Law which did not exist in the first place.
          6.You can not sanction CEO from a vacuum law
          7 Do not start swallowing before chewing.
          8. This overspending by Chilima which is ignoring all the processes, procedures and company /institution laws is catastrophic
          9. It’s a false argument for the so called perception that everyone who does not perform to your self imposed standards is a cadet as you call it
          10. Look in your family clan and all those uncles, brother, sisters opposing you, are they Cadets and they deserve no Job in Malawi . Divide and rule very dangerous!

    3. But over 56 had beaten the dead line. what’s special with failing others?

    4. @Otayo, while I agree with most of what you have written, I beg to differ on your general observation that the parastatals haven’t been given enough time. The parastatals were given enough time.

       We should regard SKC’s demand for REFORMS STATUS REPORTS in its historical context. SKC had interface meetings with the organisations way back in 2014 when he was APM’s VP. They agreed on MEASURABLES, DELIVERABLES, TIMELINES, etc.

       Enforcement of reforms is a continuous process that has, or should have, inbuilt mechanisms for monitoring and evaluation.

       What SKC is simply asking for is this: Ever since we kick started the Reforms Process, what has been achieved and what has failed. For those deliverables that have not been achieved, why not? For any CEO worth his weight in salt, he should have the necessary information at his fingertips at any point in time because the Monitoring and Evaluation mechanisms would be active in the whole continuous process.

       I venture to say, unequivocally, that SKC should even have given the CEOs a deadline of FIVE DAYS each to come up with a STATUS REPORT on the state of affairs in their respective organisations since 2014.

       If any deliverable was not achieved due to political interference or lack of political will, the CEOs should just say so. Don’t give them a lame excuse @Otayo.

    5. well if they have just been in the offices busy with personal chores and making no audits or follow up! yes they would be late to submit bcoz are caught pants down. otherwise if people are hard on it then straight from that day 7 and 9
       meetings should have been done and let everyine attatched do their job and the compiled or communicate back to VP may be for an extra day pending on how much compiled. HE IS APPROACHABLE AND THAYS WAT WE CALL IT WORKING TOGETHER.
       Apo biii ah nde musowa di poyambila ndi ma ghost workers aja ana azibale/zibwezi zanu.
       komabe mupititse report basi.hahahahaha iyoooooo.
       mumangoyadayada mma office showing off..MIM siimaenela kucedwa. bad example.
       .oitha nchito yake adziwika yekha.
       eya ogwilila nchito cipani kapena MW citizens adziwika leli. psa koka.
       Iyoooooo hahahaha

    6. Teachers are not doers. MIM – what do they reach about management? Only theoretical management? Hahaha! The worst of the pack. Is the institution to be taken seriously?

    7. Otayo people do no reasoning in these shores no more. They want orgs to drop everything at the request of elected politicians, forgetting the fear mentality they are creating is what destroys same orgs.
       Leaders who grorifies rigid checklists and blueprints should be viewed with skepticism and avoidance

    8. I’ve more than once hinted on the calibre and understanding of simple management principles by the vice president of Malawi. Actually, what has just been explained above paints a complete picture of the aftermath of such an archaic way of running an organisation, let alone a country. All that will surely demotivate the civil service, not long from now we will witness several social unrests. One wonders as to how this guy managed the cellphone company he said he headed. If this is how he went about his daily business then the employees there were not enjoying their jobs. Now that was a company, unfortunately to treat a country in same lines will not work. I once said it that in the previous regime, APM was the one doing all the spade-work and Saulos was just a bystander. After APM noticed that he was carrying excess baggage, he decided to ignore him after realising that even after being delegated duties, the guy underperformed. All this can be seen from the few weeks Chakwera has entrusted him with some duties. Koma ziyenda kumene? No wonder it is said “Ng’oma yoliritsa, siyichedwa kung’ambika”. We are about to see a very good testimony of this. Akuluwa kuchenjera pa kamwa.

11. MIM has always been a disagrace

12. That’s how work is supposed to be done. We have overly educated people with glossy qualifications but poor performers. This is how it is done in the first world where you guys got your qualifications from but you fail to implement

13. Mmmmmmmmm MIM why not shay ?

14. kkkkkkkkkk! koma ulendo ulipodi eeeee! Zogona pantchito zones zithelatu lero!

    1. bola kugona. osati kubwera 10am kuzauza secretary ndikubwera osanena abwera wat time .alendo ofuna kuonana ndi bwanayo kumangobwerera and bloody fools cared less.
       tikapita ku ncito timakagwila ncito osati komakasaka mahule n town mu. kapena koyendera ma uvuni olo koolongosola omanga ma mansion okutha 2 months yokha mu Naperimu kkkk moni bwana ITAYE UKO KU MACRA. IYOOOOO.
       PSA GWILA

15. Trying kubisa/destroying evidence!

16. Akuzipanga dissolve okha ma CEOs kikikikikikikikiki, we will not tolerate incompetence/lazy- faire mentality in the new Malawi !

17. Mr VP, they have no idea what a status report is, they have never done it before, ndizachilendo zimenezi,

    1. hahaha kkkkkk anaazoloweta kuba ndalama za ma pensionala omwe anatopa ndikuyendera kumangouzidwa cheke sicinatuluke coseco munthu anagwilila yekha ncito io ndi alesi.
       sadziwa awa kulemba report.
       cheke ngati cokatenga kumwamba.
       anya tikuti anthu aimika okha.manja mmwamba kenako kukaya galimoto.
       koma yaaa yudasi anakaziponya back mu nkacisi ndalama ya magazi ija.kkkkkk ziliko.bola no heart attacks ndii po ndi covid yi akakwerera ndege ku Zambia.komaso a zambia immigration auzidwe enawa soon will be fugitives.kkkkkkkkk

18. Can we have a list of the parasitatals that missed the deadline pleeeeeeeease!!!

19. What status report??? they have no idea what that is, pano akungolubwalubwa akusowa pogwira,

    1. Why are they there in key position if they cannot deliver? odi chokani anzanu competent pple agwire ntchito

20. You must understand that to some of the CEOs this is a new concept, they have NEVER or were NEVER required to submit status reports so they have no clue where to start………..IT’S A NEW DAY, I’M SOOOOOOOOO IN LOVE with THE NEW MALAWI!!!!!!!!!!!!

21. Fire them bwana Veep, they are being insurbodinate or perhaps are cadets. They dont even formally ask for extension to deadline?

22. BUSINESS AS USUAL ENDED ON JUNE 23RD 2020!! We re looking for productivity, accountability, and results.

23. Za ziiii. China failed to go to the North. Has he been disciplined.

24. Yes, Malawi in business now. Osati zopusa za boma la mbava la nkhalamba.

25. Bravo to Dr. Chilima !

    Nthawi yosekerela zopusa idatha. We all know the truth behind the saying, ” time is money”.

    Our only wealth is the time we have now. If we all put our time to good use, even the sky cannot be our limit, as we can reach the highest levels of excellence and profitability.

    It is high time a lot of Malawians start to respect time, deadlines, and become more time conscious, and learn time management skills, just as what most of us here in Europe go through.

26. That’s the Chilima we know. Teach people that there is no such thing as African time. Without such changes, we will continue to lag behind as a nation. Kudos to you Mr Vice President!

27. MIM yatichititsa manyazi kwambiri

28. Just fire those stupid arrogant cadets, we don’t need their services as for now

29. MIM – an institution that teaches excellency. You have earned a discipline yourself!

30. chilima is just a useless scare crow nothing will happen. he made the directive because he was just exited

    1. Izi pano ai

31. Without exonerating those who delayed, one word of advice to the longest VP, please avoid public stunts. Sometimes it’s like you are seeking public approbation which is childish. We want results and that’s all not these public innuendos.

    1. Izi pano ai

32. Wozaaa time for business as usual is over! Mpakana MIM I thought you guys mmatchukumitsa mastudents to submitt assignments in time ?/

33. Ndimmenemotu! Waulesi yense paulendo! Dont say I didnt warn you! Wake up CEOs
