National Bank of Malawi (NBM) today donated K20 million to flood victims through the Public Private Dialogue Forum, which is...
Powers to hire still vested with President. Too many civil servants have jobs for life whether they perform or not. There’s no mechanism in civil service or parastatals to measure performance or that can lead to someone being fired. We have Cashgate but the Governor of the Reserve Bank is still sitting in his job. Maize rots or goes missing from the food reserve but no one is fired. By the way has the President declared his assets yet?
As long as those interviewing are appointed and qualifying people approved by the
president then it is still the political president appointing. It is just ‘reaching Limbe via Henry Chipember Highway and not via Soche’. Nepotism will still be there because the like of ministers like Chaponda will wrongly advise the president. Tribalism and regionalism on promotions and other operations will still be there. May God bring justice , merit and love to mother Malawi.
Different route with same results
that is not a solution because the interview panel will be made up of president’s supporters who would potentially be manipulated by the president to still favor someone! Africans…..kkkkkk
Nothing new here its the still old song. The interview committee should employ and the President be informed that this is what we have come up with period.
mundivomereza, ochititsa interviewwo akhala AHINYA okhaokha zosatira zake zofuna zawo zizikwaniritsidwa. Afunatu the highest office of the president a Hinyawa.
I don’t see any change here to cherish with. Directors for Ministries /CEOs for Parastatals also go through interviews. The list is submitted to the OPC based on merit. But what comes from there is contrary to the opposite. You will find the top two candidates are left out on the basis of political inclination or region/tribe of their original. More need to be done to make the change more vibrant…. otherwise it is just the same old song!
Wy to go Malawi,my country!!!
This is welcome.
The problem is not Presidential powers, it is a system that we have in this country. There are many zombies in senior positions failing to perform in many government departments and parastatals that were not appointed by the President but were appointed by those close to the president based on affiliations, nepotism, regionalism and tribalism. As a nation we will continue to pay a heavy price for our detest for meritocracy just because it produces results that we do not like. We will never move forward if we do not have quality standards.
