State House chief of staff Peter Mukhito appears to be affected by the state residences shake-up which has seen a growing list of the President’s aides forced out of State House.

Mukhito: To be state chief spy

Mukhito has been redeployed to the National Intelligence Service to the state chief spy, replacing Nicholous Dausi, Nyasa Times understands.

Also being moved out of State House in the shakeup is Paulos Chisale, security advisor and a valet for President Peter Mutharika.

Mukhito recently told Capital Radio that people should not read too much in the State House shake up.

“There is completely nothing wrong with the change of staff,” said Mukhito.

Mukhito, the former police chief who once worked at State House as presidential guard commander for late president Bingu wa Mutharika, became the first victim of the change of guard in State House following the death from cardiac arrest of Bingu wa Mutharika. He was replaced by career policeman Loti Dzonzi.

He first gained notoriety in 2011 when he questioned a lecturer Dr Blessings Chinsinga over comparisons he made between the uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt and the fuel crisis in Malawi. The row eventually led to the closure of the University of Malawi’s Chancellor College. Despite this, his boss, late president Mutharika, dubbed him “the best IG ever”.

Mukhito said the changes at State House were done with knowledge of the President.

The changes has seen Presidential aide-de-camp Lieutenant Colonel Faustino Gunda-Phiri controversially removed from his position and replaced by Lieutenant Colonel Gilfred Chafikana.

Apart from Lieutenant Colonel Gunda-Phiri, others who have been redeployed from State House are former presidential press secretary Frederick Ndala, presidential secretary Hilda Chapola, personal assistant to the First Lady, Philomena Kasambwe, deputy guard commander a Mr. Chikhungu and second deputy guard commander a Mr. Kabambe out of State House.

The President’s guard commander Duncan Mwapasa is also out of State House after being appointed as Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Malawi Police Service.

  3. Welcome Mukhito,after All He Is Better. Osati A Dausi Intelligence Yake Anapangila Kuti? What We Know Is That Anali Cameraman Or Photographer Ku Myp Kumajambula Kamuzu Imeneyo Ndi Intelligence? Bolanso Shumba. Ndiye Pano Kumango Gona Nditatsikana Atilembatu As Part Of Intelligence. Shame.

  5. Dausi, paying for embarrassing Peter and the DPP govt by begging nac money so that nib can abuse it!!! Wonder where he will be deployed!!! To be just a spy now?

  7. Koma mpaka apulezidenti kukhala NKHUKU YOPANDA MUTU kkkkkkk. Ndikhulupirira amanena yongodulidwa kumene mutu kkk-kkkkk. This is real abomination kk-kkkkk. Peter, a headless chicken indead phuphuphuphu without direction. Nde chifukwa chake kuli chisawawa ku State House. Maybe all of them there are headless chickens.

  9. Mr. Chavula, M’bobo and Mwakapugha plz do not mislead Mukhito as you did with DAUSI. Your days are numbered because the writing is on the wall.

  10. But State House staff really steal money even Secretaries driving very expensive personal Vehicles??? Ah!!!

  11. Ena anyambiteko zaku statehouse. Mzosiirana izi. Palibe amene angazisiye izi. Oterewa adzakhala akupitirira kuchita bwino, munkhitho adzakhalabe munkhitho. Enafe tione zamoyo wina omwe akut ukubwerawo uwu watikanika.

  15. MUKHITO is chindere chakufikapo.. he was running statehouse as his personal home.. he has let down the president by making him to write of Lumbadzi Police walls. now the president is getting all the negative in papers.

    this is the best decision made by APM.

  24. Zakuonekerani, pepani. Koma ndiye simunakhalitsekotu nonsenu. Kapena munapupuluma nazo kodi?????????????????? Welcome to the real world.

  26. I like this man mukhitho he managed MPS proffessionally. In addition he was promoting officers according to one’s performance. This is in reflection to what is happening in today’s police whereby officers are rised in ranks because of relationship in the service. How can one be at arank of constable for 15yrs.

  28. I see nothing wrong here, pamene pali mu lomwe chili chonse chima sokonekera. A lomwe ndi nthawi yawo enafe tisalowelere. Posachadwa zizasuluka ndipo nthawi yimeneyo mtumbuka azakhala akulamulira. Ndipo Malawi yizalemera.

  31. Pose Mukhito is being promoted from the current grade c to grade b. APM wants someone he can trust at NIB and who knows about security.

  32. Big up to APM for firing these two.also fire Director of Finance Reagan Nkhoma.he asks for bribes from us suppliers of various supplies.he asks for 10% akuti kuti tilipidwe.akuba ameneyo and he brags kuti he is close to Mukhito. Acb fufuzani

  33. Ayamba kuthana okhaokha tsopano atayamba kupondana okha okhaokha Ben ndi mhito. Before this matter anakanenezana ku acb chifukwa chopondana. Achisale. Angofela mabodza atachotsetsa anthu ambiri ntchito

  35. long overdue changes. Chisale was a corporal at Kamuzu barracks and a mere batman . How could such an idiot be called security advisor to a learned president like peter … Mukhito , to say the truth is multiple useless. Only done constable basic course !!!! My foot. State chief of staff is a several service appointment . When r we getting rid of Ben Phiri!!!! -a TRIBALISTIC prime minister. Presidential office could be safer without Ben. Mark my words!!!! It’s far far much safer and clean without the dwarf Ben.

  37. Very good Mr President, He was the man who always brings problems at the State House. People have been removed from State House becoz of him eg Mr Mwansambo. He knew that Mr Mwansambo was getting double salaries but he chosen to remain silent. Where a Mr Dausi will be deployed to?

  39. Where is Hon Dausi going ? Send this guy to somewhere outside Malawi to represent our country as an ambassador.

  42. SO ANY KNOWLEDGE OF WHERE CHISALE IS BEING POSTED OR ‘ REDEPLOYED’?
    WHATS WRONG WITH THE STATE HOUSE, ARE ALL THESE PEOPLE BAD, INCOMPETENT OR YOU WANT ANTHU FROM THE LHOMWE BELT? COME ON

  44. At least APM did not appoint northerners in those premises. So the actions do not constitute nepotism.

    Citizens.

  45. At-least this new post suits him better than the predecessor, Mr Dausi. I still don’t understand how he came to be found there!!

  50. This is the way to go APM. Mukhito is one of the people who is going to bring you down moya. Mukhito was/ is shielding Limumba Kalim and his wife Nomsa Nsungama who acted as couriers between Kalonga of ministry of tourism and Joyce Banda when they were stealing government’s money. This thief and his wife have built mansions in area 43 and boast that they cannot be arrested because they are connected to Mukhito. Mr. President is this your vision? selectively trying people?

  51. I am tempted to believe that no one, absolutely no one is permanent at State house,,, These shifttings,, mmmmm, alomwe tokha tokha tikusemerana zinyau!!!!!! so where is the former chief spy, Mr Dausi heading to???? This world,,, nothing is permanent. Just receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour and you will experience everlasting peace!!!!!!

  54. Why Each And Every Day Hearing About State House Demotions Only? Whats Wrong Wrong There? Plz Try To Solve Amecably And Internally

  55. THIS IS WELL EDITED PIECE!! MUKHITO WILL DO HIS WORK BETTER THERE THAN DAUSI. WHERE IS DAUSI DEPLOYED?

  56. If true am happy on Chisale.wazunzisa anthu ambiri.he survives on miseche and sankhululuka.good cleansing APM

  59. Does Peter really trust anyone or does he know the people he appoints? Bvuto la matchona. Trial and error in appointments is the same rial and error in running Govt. Bvuto lomangotenga a DPP into state house and govt positions without vetting their credentials ndi limeneri.

  63. Column ya Hahaha ya Patricia Masinga yagwira ntchito. Dausi must indeed be out of the president’s reach for long time.

    Bravo Patricia.

  64. Something very big and shocking will happen soon at state house,am observing events as they unfold

  66. Replacing Dausi???
    Meaning kuti Dausi has failed to run NIB???
    Kaya zanu izo. Check up ndiye kuti chani?

  68. the worst prof is that of security, busy guarding persons and their properties leaving your family unprotected. in the end they push you right left centre like mukhito, in security cycles people are made to follow whatever, kind of dictatorship

  69. Peter Wamuthanyula is slowly becoming his late Brother is who once told us that “Unpredictability” was his middle-name.

  71. Inde ndinthawi yawo reforming state house kkkkkkkkk. State house is like a Tobacco Estate.

  72. Tikufuna Mukhito apitenso kukapanga head police, zinali bwino that time.

    Nyasatimes, palibe zofukula zakale apa mentioning chinsinga etc. aaaaa

  73. Something is definitely going wrong at Plot number one.. Hardly a year has passed and half of senior staff are out. And why do we play around with intelligence services in this country? This is a key security institution which requires stability.

  79. Mtsinje wa tinkanena unathira mu siizi!!! Umanena chatsitsa dazaye kuti njobvu ithyoke nyanga! Whats up Gertrude??

  82. Zipitani kumeneko ndiye koyenera anthu ngati iwe Mukhitho.Miseche yako ija komanso kusatha kupepesa kuja. bon voyage!!

  84. Aaa! Kumeneko! Komaatu mwana ujatu Mwandidya ujatu anayithatu nthicto ku NIB. Kaya pano mwamuika pati. Job well done Mr. President for finally cleaning up the mess at the NIB and the State House. This is the Professor I know.

  87. Komatu bwino. Kusinthasintha maudindo brings about job insecurity ndipo aliyense obwerapoyi amati ndichiyoleyu kapena ndibereyu kapena nfionongeretu asanandichose.

  91. Kikikikikikiki Welcome Mr Dausi to the world we miss your miyambi on our radios ‘mwamna’ i’m sure you have learnt some lessons from that position

  93. Nokha nokha alhomwe Ife zisatikhudze. Koma kukhala intelligence chief u want him to be controlling police with a remote control.adzimuopseza kachama? Ben phiri zake zikuyenda atase tsopano. Ubwino wa Ben ndi nzawo wa masten .mwaba ma fuel coupon ambili bwana.

  94. Mukhito, the commander in chief of Malawis 11 Bongos (Malawi ISIS)! Anafuna kusowetsa employee wa MRA akukana kulipilira msonkho. Anafuna kupha ma employees a MRA ameneyo galu.

  97. If he is going to NIB that is good and he needs to cleanse this organisation of dead wood. the president has been goofing largely because of inefficiency of NIB and also remove Ben Phiri and redeploy him to Ministry of Health as martuary cleaner. the boy is stupid.

  99. Mukhito was toooo fat for this job. Whenever he travelled abroad with the President the donors would immediately know where all the food in Malawi was going- into his big stomach!! which donor would give money or aid to a delegation with such fat people!! at the State House when potential donors arrived to see APM- big fat boy Mukhito was there waiting to eat lunch with the guests!! very embarassing!! if you want to beg for money take the thin and emaciated Gertrude- she will perhaps elicit enough sympathy that will open the floodgates of donor funds despite cash-gate. i rest my case.
