Itaye removed at Macra, swaps with Shamu at Malawi Posts Corp

Government has fired controversial Malawi Communications Rugulatory Authority (Macra) director general Godfrey Itaye and replaced him with Malawi Posts Corporation postmaster general Henry Shamu.

Itaye: No more impunity , fired at Macra

Last week, Itaye drew public wrath after he warned public broadcasters over their live broadcasts of opposition rallies.

Itaye has long been accused of being a government pony after several missteps and behaved larger-than-life.

Last month, he failed to reign in on stated owned  MBC TV after they flighted a Facebook post that insulted UTM leader and the country’s estranged  vice president Saulos Chilima.

Nyasa Times’ efforts to talk to both Itaye and Macra Spokesperson proved futile as both their phones went unanswered.

  1. Ma Adventist Why???? ana a Mulungu tikuononga dzina la mpingo wa Yehova chotere. Zochititsa manyazi kwambiri mmalo motumikra bwino tikuononga kuba too much eeeesh God forbid.

  2. Our national anthem doesn’t lie, Njala, nthend, Nsanje. A lot of comments happy that someone has been fired. A lot of people here with miserably stinky hearts. Why always celebrating and wishing someones downfall? This is why Your lives don’t change. However Itaye goes home with a hefty package and will be considered for another gargantuan position in the public sector. nsambi

  3. Enter Seventh Day, Exist Seventh Day. MACRA is a Seventh Day institution, not a Government entity. It must be investigated. Something is fishy in this organisation.

  4. Shamu is another buffoon who deserve to be sent home not redeployed. I don’t know why government keeps on recycling these boffins.

  5. Mr. Itaye, Mr. Steven Maseya, Mr. Hope Chisanu and many others have completely forgotten that their life will have to continue long after DPP is gone.

  6. Shamu is another cadet who wrote in his own testimony in the Nation newspaper “My Turn column” glorifying Peter Mutharika without shame. Imagine a head of a government funded agency – MPC. We will root them out both including the MBC hierarchy from Sumbuleta, Greyson Chapita, Vincent Khonyongwa and all those dunderheads like Steve Maseya and Hope Chisanu. You better start booking Intercape Coach tickets for South Africa.

      1. yes but also change then with many abuses and crimes so those sum of money will be spent on lawyers on their part! but getting ride of then suckers is mandatory

  7. MR ITAYE you thought Malawi is in your hands you have been misbehaving and i kept worrying about you thank you God for the wonderful answer even to transfer him but to expell him ! wow wow wow uziwe kut umapanga zamisala pity you kakakakakaka

  8. Once a person has been FIRED, he goes home and nurse his woes. Being posted to another organisation is just transferring a problem. What I am seeing in all this is DPP/APM hand; reluctant to let go a cashcow. Shame is even worse. .

  9. This guy was looting us for too long on behalf of his masters and for his own sake!
    Please upcoming government, don’t let him off the hook, we need sanity and justice done on him!

  10. Utuwako kumeneko…………..uyoooooo. July we are completely removing you. Tolera zama Bus ndi makalata kumeneko

  11. No real change here: one cadet for another. Real and lasting change is coming to my homeland.
