Chilonga tipped to be Commissioner for Lands: Mangani retires
Commissioner for Lands Felix Mangani is going to retirement and Principal Secretary for Lands Jane Chikaya Banda is pushing for Davie Chilonga to be the next commissioner, Nyasa Times understands.
Banda served as Solicitor General since 2012 but was redeployed to scandle riddled Ministry of Lands as Secretary for Lands.
The Lands Ministry is riddled with corruption allegations.
In the recent Cabinet reshuffle, President Peter Mutharika dropped Anna Kachikho as Minister of Lands, Housing and Urban Planning and replaced her with Jean Kalirani.
Now the battle is on who replaces Mangani.
Sources in the ministry said PS Banda ha svowed to push for her favourite Chilonga who is also a Patror at Pentecostal Holiness Church.
He is being projected as “Mr Clean” in the corruption puzzle at the ministry.
But sources say he has his own dirt.
According to his Linked page, Chilonga has MSc in Valuation and Land Surveying from University of Portsmouth, UK and is a graduate of University of Malawi-Polytechnic with BSc, Land Surveying.
Ineso anali a lecture anga ku NRC. The guy is really good. I think ena ndi ma competitor ake akumuwopa hence trying to assasnate(sp) his character. He inspires me indeed
All the best my lecture at Poly
All the best my Poly lecture
Kikikiki! Udindo umenewu wa Commissioner ndiwotani koma. So all the churches that side were allocated illigally…..I think we shd research thoroughly brfore noising…my understanding is that area 43 opposite area petroda is for institutions…churches..schools etc. So all those achina Charasmatic Church there, Nazarene, Lilongwe Christian Church etc are illigal. Sheee! Others would think this is wild reasoning.
Mmmmm, Kanganiwamba you just hate the person. I have checked on internet and found out that Pentecostal Holiness Church has existed for over 100 years. It is not a bogus church. Its world wide. Just google this name. iNE Ndikuwona kuti amene walemba nkhaniyi akuwopa kuti akuluwa adzathetsa estate agents kukhla pamzere kudikilira ma plot. Mwangofuna kuwononga mbiri yake. Anyway, abwino ndinu. tIKADZALE mbewu ife. Mvula yangwa
WOOO. Some people are always at the bow of an arrow pointed at them
koma ndiye THE BATTLE IS ON NOW. wina akungosuzumila kutizikhala bwanji-kunyon,golela kuti azikwatule za a mwenye BRIBES
I know the guy as Team Leader for Land Reforms in Malawi. He is an orator amati akamakufotokezera za the new land law-passionate of it…. iwe kumvetsa komaso kufuna ziyambe msanga…he is humble too. mmmmmmh he has not been involved in the dirt but champions reforms
It seems this is internal politics. I know Chilonga as a hard worker. Many of his Saturdays he works for Mota_Engil. He even take holidays to work as a land and social expert for Mota Engil. They guy is intelligent and he is well paid in these works. What dirt are you talking about. Ma jealous a Malawi. Check with Mota-Engil on their manganyu list
The problem with Chilonga is when you go to through the front door for assistance, he treats you like you have gone their to steal!!!
Perhaps he is helpful to his fellow pentecostalians and treats the rest if us albeit how honest we are as if we don’t deserve his and the ministries moment to assist.
The article highlights more strength on Rev Chilonga’s part and i think he wld be the best successor for the position.
Madam Janet, that Chilonga is a prime thief hiding behind his bogus church which was allocated land in Area 43 illegally. He might be conversant with land issues but he is not clean. Do your homework properly unless you want to benefit from dubious deals as well
The question to be answered in filling the post will be where does/ do the potential candidates come from? and what tribe. How are they connected to DPP inner core. Qualifications and experience will NOT influence their selection. Mark my prophecy. Look back and see how such positions are filled in Government and its parastatals. Ndinu alendo mu m’Malawi?
If there is a government office that is useless, inept, ineffective, slow and pathetic it is this one. Everybody working there should be ashamed of themselves.
Euphemia Bota is now acting Commissioner and she is likely to get the jod as she has one foot in the booty
