Govt fires Chisi as Medical Council of Malawi board chairperson

May 21, 2020 Owen Khamula - Nyasa Times 16 Comments

Government has fired controversial Umodzi Party president John Chisi as chairperson for Medical Council of Malawi just days after announcing that he has severed his ties with the ruling party.

Chisi: Removed

Chisi announced last week that he would support Tonse Alliance presidential candidate Lazarus Chakwera during the Constitutional Court sanctioned presidential election slated for July 2.

Chisi reluctantly confirmed his sacking as board chairperson.

“Yes, it is indeed true but I am yet to receive the official letter but it is true,” he said.

Medical Council of Malawi chief executive officer Mr. Ndovi said he had also heard the news from Chisi himself.

“I am yet to be briefed on the matter by our directors,” he said.

Umodzi Party was in an alliance with the Democratic Progressive Party in the run up to the now annulled May 21, 2019 tripartite election.

  1. This firing is sending a bad message to the Chief Secretary, Loyd Muhura and his team of beneficiaries of the Lomwelisation Project? They will start asking themselves about the aftermaths of the 23rd June Presidential Elections should their old man lose?

  2. Ngati he alleged that noone could catch corona virus in rallies yes he deserves that dismissal. We dont need such ppo in this country wodziwa coonadi koma ndikumachipotoza. Ndi zomwe ndinanena kale kuti kodi a PAC muli kuti inuyo mudzidzula anthu ngati awa ndikuwauza kuti apepese kwa a malawi bcoz its misleading and put malawians at great risk

  3. Chisi is useless and the sentiments he expressed on Corna and rallies was the most stupid thing he ever said.

  5. He is not a sane person to be in that position. Too much insanity and inconsistencies.

  6. Chisi! You better tell ppl the truth. You ‘ve been striped off your position for saying that corona virus can not spread in political rallies. And you being a professor, you can’t talk this nonsense. That’s abyssmal. It really shows your a fake prof and educated salvage.

  7. Kunama. He is fired for declaring his stupidity outbursts that one cannot get Corona Virus during political meetings. You quoted it and you opted to leave it in this article. He announced joining the opposition alliance long time ago and he was not dismissed. KUNANMA BWANJI INU? Tazichitani manyazi

    1. March 15th Nyasa Times reports John Chisi Umodzi Party joins the alliance
      May 18th Nyasa Times reports John Chisi expresses that you cannot catch Corona Virus attending political Rallies as sick people stay home. Truth is DPP is claiming more people attending their rallies DPP is cleaning house of all people supporting UTMCP they are desperate to win this Election after loosing the Supreme Court Ruling.
      VOTE CHANGE VOTE UTMCP after three weeks not one Presidential Rally the President has given up 42 days to a new Government VIVA MALAWI

  8. Mudzachita manyazi Prof Chisi ali minister of Health kkkkk. Ndiye mwaikapo mlomwe wake uti tsopano? Shame on you

  9. So all those that are DPP supporters will have to fired should the opposition win the 2nd Juiy elections. DPP and mutharika zinazi mudziganiza the implications. As a citizen I really feel sorry for those people put in various positions by DPP the likes of Walter nyamulandu, itaye, simbuleta , malata, ning’anya, mwandidya, the NRB cadet, Mwapatsa, namathanga of MDF and his deputies.

    1. If he is re-appointed on the aspect of his connection to the new gvt then we better go back to aigupto. For God’s sake the guy said one cannot get covid-19 during or at a campaign rally. When all his collegues in the medical profession are against the current spade of campaign rallies, he is advocating for the same, then you tell me he is fired because of his cutting ties with the current regime? Guys let us advocate for real change and not this mbofyombofyo change.
