Dzuka Malawi: Chisale, retirees and personal assistants
Normal Paulosi Chisale is now excessively a big headache for the new Tonse Alliance administration. I hope they have evidence and I pray he will not be acquitted. Otherwise, for an administration that keeps arresting one man, out of all Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) officials and a cabinet of 20 Peter Mutharika had maintained between 2014 and 2019, it is looking abit awkward.
If the State has evidence against any of Chisale cases, I advise them to move the courts and start trials. I hope this would end the new narrative that even that rejoiced at his first arrest are now getting apprehensive. Chisale looks like he is the black Jesus of the DPP, bearing all sins for the party. The question is what about others who got rich mysteriously?
Every sane person Chisale knows did not commit all the alleged crimes alone. When are others joining him? We hear some of accounts frozen meaning there is reasonable suspicion of funds being proceeds of crime, when are they getting charged? These are questions Police and Government will have to answer, sooner or later. Slowly honeymoon will come to an end, Malawians will now start demanding answers. Very soon.
The latest case of Chisale being accused of being Pheias Hiwa is a joke. President Lazarus Chakwera recently appointed Juma Zammimba who masquerades as someone with his dead relations name. Another Cabinet member is using a fake certificate. If we are to honestly do an investigation on papers, we will have a scandal of huge proportions.
After the murder case, I think Chisale aka Pheias Hiwa can answer those charges first without adding more like certificate. A presidential aide, a minister and a few MPs will have to be fired if people start digging.
Talking of Presidential appointments, I am not sure how 1 million jobs will be created when retirees are busy filling public service position. I find it ridiculous for someone who has worked for 30 years to be brought back. It is an insult to young people to tell them Government will not be employing them, but they should create jobs. Come on, these retirees had hefty packages, they should be the one using their gratuity, expertise, and skills to create jobs not to return and grab jobs that young civil servants should be appointed to.
The appointment of old Principal Secretaries defeats the whole essence of reforms. These people failed in 20 years, that’s why we have reforms. To improve what they failed and could not reform. I don’t know how they will change when the justification of bringing them back is their experience. Come on, are we serious. If these had left a professional and excellent civil service in their time, we would not have reforms.
We are reforming because they left a useless and dysfunctional civil service. These people resisted reforms I think 71 or 80 times we have tried to change the civil service. I simply don’t understand how they are expected to change the same system they enjoyed abusing for the past 30 years they worked.
I believe strong fresh minds, young people 35 to 45, with both private sector and civil service blend will inject fresh thinking into the system. Not old, tried and tired retirees. Look what they did, the called each other to receive new gratuities and Prado TXs. Not inspiring for a new administration.
Still on appointments, I would like to ask Dr. Laz to reign in on social media handclappers who are directly controlled by his assistant and son- in-law and his Deputy Publicity Secretary. They are bullying their party seniors and Ministers over appointment of personal assistants.
Two Malawians have had to be fired after Malawi Congress Party (MCP) youth leaguers bullied Ministers. Seriously this undermines the integrity of cabinet and basically it is gross indiscipline at any level. If they had issues, they can be addressed through party structures not publicly insulting Cabinet Members. Of course, even singling out for people for having associated with DPP is a joke, a sad political joke. I would point half of DPP members in your cabinet, some personal assistants, and staff. Let any Malawian have a chance. Did we not see President Laz appointing Rashy Gaffer in his Cabinet from DPP? Why there was no fuss about it. Why target small fishes.
We chastised DPP for nepotism and discrimination based on party affiliation. I am not sure if the two incidents so far show us any change from DPP.
Otherwise, 60 days gone, we are eagerly waiting for the budget which will be stimulant of 1 million jobs, cheaper fertiliser and long-term vision of making a better Malawi for all. At least for now we have heard all speeches, we are waiting for action. Talking less and doing more will make sure MCP continues for a long time. Dzuka Malawi, its time to go to work!

Rudo, ndalama za DPP ukudyazo ndizotembeleredwa. Anthu amene aja amapha anthu ngati akupha ziweto. Kuteroku umkasangalala ndi zimene zija? Anthu a chi albino pano akumagona tulo bwinobwino. Munthu wokhala ndi mzimu bwinobwino ungamaikile kumbuyo anthu amene aja? Mulungu azikuyendera mwapaderadera ndithu. Pajatu ati satana kwake ndi kuba, kupha ndi kuononga. Tchula chimene DPP sinapange pa list imeneyi.
senseless article written out of frustration from probably a dpp sympathizer
The writer is quite right,we are expecting fresh minds in both private and government sector …. We r expecting change bwana president “kuseta sabweleza umadzipaka”
Im jzt waiting bageti ndione mmene gawile ndalama
Writer walemba chilungamo ur on ur senses keep it up,chilungamo chiziyenda ngati mazi.
What sin did Isa njauju committed to Norman chisale to die a such death, this chisale is a devil 😈 . If njaunju was your family or friend what would you say of chisale?
I think u don’t understand
Ure just useless and I had never never see a writer like cadet
I agree with you Mr writter..
Tonse will demonstrate their serious by doing two things only:
1.Take Thom Mpinganjira to court for bribing the Concourt Judges.Evidence is there and witnesses are Concourt judges are witnesses.This is a case that can take only 30 minutes-case closed.
2.Conduct an audit of civil service and fire all DPP cadets illegaly working in inappropriate positions for which they dont have qualifications.
But other people who do not think accordingly are still with FDH bank ya Thom
Last weekend i heard that some dpp seniors strike deals with tonse that they should not be arrested. The same also appeared in the papers through a weekly feature.there a lot of people who need to explain the source of their wealth.i m gutted to see most of them walking free .
Koditu uyu pinimbila,ali ndi telemo imodzi ku state House.
Komanso ndikukaika ngati amalize telemu.
Ukunamatu iwe ana anjoka omphunzira sukulu ndindalama zakuba
tinveko viral conversation ya mfiti yaikazi ija ndi joji malemya kuti amakambilanapo zomaba ndalama.
chisale waw untouchable. was a presdent on his own. anyamata aganyu amawalemba aja!!!!!
Rudo, the Government is arresting thieves not Chisale. Kodi mutu wako amayenda? And you have mentioned Tonse in your statement, what is Tonse doing here while the ones who are doing the arrest are the laws of Malawi? Journalist wopenaga wosadziwa kusiyanitsa pakati pa malamuloa Dziko ndi Ndazandale! Shame! Kukulira mu mkatangale mkumene kwakupusitsani! A Malawi tikufuna amene anaba ndalama zathu abweze! Umagwa khunyu iwe eti?
Don’t expect anything good from this government. It’s a disaster.
I’ve abandoned the rest of the story at the point when the writer say certain cabinet minister is using fake certificate” the writer seem doesn’t know what s/he writing about.
Mukuti chani kodi
The article full of substance I like it
I salute you, the writer.
We have very few writers of this caliber. The rest are handclappers who fail to point out issues objectively.
To be frank, it’s easy to speak but hard to accomplish. I doubt if Tonse will deliver what it promised us. Never the less, they have my vote in 2025. DPP should never, ever rule our be loved Malawi again.
Up to now i dont understand whyMr. Chilabade has been re-hired from retirement. The guy is a failure. SDI was vibrant before he was made Director but when he came in, things tumbled. Finances were mismanaged by him and lectures morale was low. He was moved to the Reforms where he worked with bwana che Chilima. The two did not deliver either and he was pushed to Human Resources where he was retired after attaining 60years. Now Saulosi is bringing him back to Human Resources as PS. to do what? What did he fail to do when he was there very strong? The guy is sick and frail now moti any time he can collapse. Where is Chimota the PS. Why Chilabade the failure and weakling we all know him. Please take him out and let him enjoy his retirement package instead of letting him sit phwii and yet ntchito akugwira ndi ena iye kumakwera TX
Was Chidale a dpp official or a civil servant
Good piece! On the issue of certificates. I think your argument is strange. You mean it shouldn’t be an issue just because there are many out there who committed the same crime? Strangely, you proceed to say its a joke to arrest Chisale for this offence because we have some presidential appointees who are also using certificates which are not theirs. Don’t you think its your as well as every good citizen’s responsibility to reveal such individuals ( with undisputable evidence of course) to relevant authorities? Iam 100% with you on retirees. Its almost stupid to think that public reform will work only if we have these retirees back into service.Strangely,the president uses his “good for nothing” sweet talk to convince us that this is the way we can reform the public service. Shame!
By going through the writing and most of the comments, I am worried. Do you reform what is already in its right form; or do you reform what has never been dented? Do you need someone without any experience to reform or you need to start with someone who can easily grasp whatever reforms, being properly coached. The challenge with the current youth is the level of understanding issues. I do not know where institutions of higher learning are missing. The truth of the matter is that universities in Malawi are not producing great thinkers. Graduates today lack the quality befitting a university or college graduate. I have sat in many interview panels, it’s a shame. To me, the best reform will be achieved with a combination of both the old and the new ‘blooms’; so that the new can learn from the old. By the way, how many youth are the Israeli Government; let alone the noisy US Congress? Think twice, explore more, and encourage/promote understudying the experienced. If the writer of this article is objective, I choose to go back to school and get educated again!
