Malawi mafia ministers plundering Covid-19 money, this nonsense must stop
Some people in the country have always wondered why government has, strongly and repeatedly, resisted every call for an all-inclusive approach in managing novel coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic.
Well, this is it.
The revelations that ministers and selected members of Parliamentary Health Committees will, each, be pocketing a hefty K450 000 and K350 000 respectively is the news none, among the beneficiaries, wanted the public to hear.
But thank God, amidst every attempt to keep the public away from this story, we have the facts before us.
Today, Malawians bore the truth and they are self-evident that we are run by a mafia government that doesn’t tell the truth to its people.
When stories flew around social media that ministers were, for each Covid-19 meeting, pocketing K300 000 allowance, Information Minister Mike Botomani, was quick to rubbish it all as fake news.
Today, when push was brought to his shovel regarding the hefty ministerial allowances based on an internal communication, Botomani has, helplessly, committed two errors which, as a result, has confirmed he is a lying minister working for a lying government.
The first error is Bottoman’s vain attempt to run away from facing and handling telling facts about allowances brought before him by uttering: “I don’t speak on policy issues.” Come on, Botomani!
Policy is a position government takes or doesn’t take on any issue of public interest.
On Covid-19, government has taken a position of allowancing, hefty, Cabinet minister and members of Parliamentary Health Committees.
By remaining mum on this alliance issue through hiding in the word ‘policy’, Botomani has just exposed ill-intentions of the government he works for.
If he, taking it at his words, doesn’t speak on ‘policy’ issues, why did he, in the first place, take up that interview where he branded the K300 000 allowance story as fake news? Shame.
The second error he committed is to appeal to the public that Cabinet Ministers and the Parliamentary need to go on the ground and asses preparedness at the local government level.
Well and fine; but look here.
There is nothing wrong with Ministers or Parliamentary Committees, even if they have capacity or not, doing monitoring work on the ground.
But there is something wrong when government doesn’t want to open up as in how much will be involved in this monitoring process. Where are our District Commissioners to report on the same. Why not every MP report about his constituency to National Assembly.
We all know, if officials will be on the road, they will need money for fuel, accommodation, meals and communication. That’s a fact.
What Malawians want is a Covid-19 management process that is transparent and accountable.
Unfortunately, government doesn’t seem interested to be accountable and transparent in the way they are, especially, managing the funds involved. That is where the problem is.
Malawians have been through a series of thieving projects well orchestrated by this Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) leadership.
They just don’t trust this government, especially, when money is involved.
That is why we have this allowance debate, today; and I am certain, with days, more questions are going to follow.
There are, already, questions as to which companies are involved in the procurement processes of Covid-19 PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) and others. Has there been any announcement form government as to what is happening in this area?
Honestly speaking, it’s not easy to trust the DPP administration. In fact, on Covid-19 financing, Malawians are being ripped and there is no evidence needed beyond Botomani’s failure to put the record straight.
We must stop this.

Can anyone who can do the coronavirus job without pay put their hands up? FOTSEKI!
Lots of kinda hearted people can do only need fuel and the materials! Ask your true church leaders if you have any they will answer your question!!
Nsanje is the problem in Malawi.
There is nothing wrong with Ministers getting that amount of money. They are doing a difficult job.
Shame. Thieves and beneficiaries of thievery
Nurses and doctors deserve that than these idiots who dont even follow the public health Act. but lying asses to cheat gullible like yourself!! Best the task team be only true church leaders and health personal only no politicians!!
Shit Bandawe! What difficult job are these ministers doing? Just announcing the number of covid 19 patients is difficult? The tough job is being done by the medical personnel who are on the front line and these are the ones who should be paid the hefty allowances since they are risking their lives. Use your head man, instead of supporting thieves.
Koma
Bunch of liers and thieves!
Not surprised they continue to tell lies about matenda kamgogo kawoko…450pin per day is not just able at all
I wish I had a sniper rifle!
Bottom man u are indeed bottom man . Don’t u think ashamed of what u are doing? U think that position is there to enrich yourself ?
Time will cash up with u and u will pay back the money u are stealing from poor Malawians .
We are tired of your thieving. Doctors and nurses are getting peanuts and are not given PPE to conduct their job amicably . While u Bottom man get hefty allowance , oh ok time is cashing up indeed.
So that means you are just guessing. That is wrong, no one can need to work with people who talks too much (empty tins).
Remember if you can’t trust other people neither you can be trusted
Ndiye poti zitsiru zili ndi eni ake, muone ma comment ya ma Cadet kupanda manyazi pamene iwo makolo awo alibe ngakhale Mwamini or Sofia, azibambo awo vimaziru nanga matayala a tractor. Upusa.
And then there is this stupid individual who will brand your write up as political.
The individual will with all his senses claim that what is happening is just fine.
He will brand you an mcp operative
How I wished it was also possible to get an injunction stopping this government from spending any tambala from account 1.
This country will never change because everyone is thinking about themselves. Funny how United the Mps are when it comes to plundering.
