CIA exposes K166mil Salary Cashgate at Agriculture Ministry, 68 officers fired
Malawi’s Central Internal Audit (CIA) in the Ministry if Finance has revealed that K166 million has been plundered in the Ministrt of Agriculture, Irrigation and Water Development which has seen 68 officers being fired in connected to the Cashgate-style fraud.
According to CIA audit, the money was plundered between 2012 and 2014 through dubious payments of salaries and allowances.
Agriculture ministry has since fired 68 officials and that their files are with Attorney General Charles Mhango to determine the way forward.
Spokesman of Ministry of Agriculture, Osborne Tsoka , said those fired are on Grade K with four officers on Grade 1 and only one on Grade G.
Tsoka said the ministry has since developed “a new method” of developing salaries.
so when the country’s water supplies fails you blame the resident! Cant you see Malawians that looking after the country and its services is also our in fact sorely our responsibility!!!! The president cant be in every office to make you work with honesty. Every single one of us needs to be a responsible human being who makes an effort to push our country forward!
Don’t fool us when have you started new style of payment you wanted first to steal then a new method useless government
As long as Malawi public workers remains the least paid and most taxed in SADC cashgate in many forms will continue. How do you expect people to make ends meet when you pay them meagerly. Does govt think it will save money by denying its workers decent pay? Did APM not promise to pay decent salaries and not the change people were receiving? Has he lived up to his promise?
Why dont you empower these intstitutions, they help the govt but the govt. seem to neglect them
Ministry of Agriculture. Always in the news for the wrong reasons. Never for crop diversification, hunger eradication, irrigation or new farming methods, but always theft, theft, theft!
