Ma appointees enawa ndima hule akawononga ku ma parastatals. I wish akanamapanga background check before appointing them. I know Frank Mbeta who has been appointed pa board ya ku MACRA. He is married but right now he has gone to South Africa for a holiday with a girlfriend, Keiko Msusa. Yemweyo amanyengana ndi Pachalo mpaka the two girls fought for him at TJ’s bar.

Putting party organising secretary at the hem of ESCOM is a recipe for financial mismanagement of the already struggling parastatal. We don’t want to see ESCOM vehicles taking people for party functions please! I hope your long stay in US was not in vain.
