True Hilda Singo was fired at MTL for incompetence, a week later she was recruited as Director of Finance at ENGECO, u can’t find such a position with Job advert, without Job interviews, just being picked like u are a gardener!!!

Political hacks firing each other. Appointing a neutral board without party allegiance would have been a good way of clearing the mess. Chakwera has decided to make a bigger mess instead.

Which Chakwera are you talking about? some of these things must end in your own mind since kuganiza soletsana. Malawi is bigger than your small thieving tribe.

This is very commendable. Koma don’t stop there also investigate how institutional houses were disposed off. The legal Firm that was engaged got a fortune out of the sales proceeds and one lawyer had to spend over 30 million in Capetown with his family. These unscrupulous deals should stop. Anthu anatola khobwe kuno.
