Mutharika appoints special cabinet committee on coronavirus
President Peter Mutharika has on Sunday appointed a special cabinet committee on coronavirus as South Africa registered a second patient of the disease, posing a great danger to Malawi.
Secretary to the Office of the President and Cabinet Lloyd Muhara the aim of the cabinet committee is assess the impact of the COVID-19 and “oversee across government response to the threat posed by the COVID-19.”
The cabinet committee has nine cabinet ministers as members with the minister of Health Jappie Mhango as its chairperson.
Others are ministers of Disaster Management Affairs and Public Events, Everton Chimulirenji; Minister of Finance Joseph Mwanamvekha, Education minister William Susuwele Banda, Homeland Security minister Nicholous Dausi, Industry and Trade minister Salim Bagus, Foreign Affairs minister Francis Kasaila, Agriculture minister Kondwani Nankhumwa and deputy minister of Defence Chipiliro Mpinganjira.
Wouldn’t it have been better to appoint a team of medical practitioners, if at all there is such a need?
Cabinet Ministers to do what, if I may ask? I bet they have already started budgeting based on the allowances they will get from useless meetings on top of what they shamelessly demand from their departments for functions which are their mandates.
Pathetic
No that makes too much sense!! Remember you are dealing with A Bakha!

SPECIAL CABINET ” WITH ” CORONA VIRUS ! QUARANTINE THEM ALL TILL AFTER 19 TH MAY SIR
there is no need for special cabinet committee, what we need is health experts forum for professionals.
kkkkkkkkk ndiye azitani.kkkkomaso umbuli wina!!! cidhindo basi ,anthu ongokhala mmanyumba kumwa mowa.
will they go out sensitizing people?? we got lots of people in the health sector who could b approached to do this work
They will be paid allowances for this cause. Cursed country.
Pathetic
Same old gurus, this man. Where is the young blood, the doctors and other medical personnels. There is no space for young blood in Malawi. Same recycled people Nicholas Dausi he cant even say. I am sick and tired of this leadership.
Good move but just a bunch of ministers really? are they really going to help us? This is a health crisis i would have expected the committee to compromise 90% healthy experts from different disciplines and just three ministers, namely minister of Finannce bcoz of money/ budgeting needed, minister of health and minister of homeland to secure our borders since this desease is defintely coming from abroad so we need to secure our entry points/ borders.
A. Bakha okha okha with no medical/scientific knowledge of what is at stake……yet we have so many capable people in the medical field………koma A Maliseche
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk Nzeru za bakha !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Akufuna kuti aziba bwino ndalama zopangira campaign. Abakha okha okha
None of those people have a medical background,……..the blind leading the blind !
Apapa Bakha wachita zanzeru!!
much as we need the institutional framework, please buy the test kits. COVID-19 is already in the country —undetected. Without the test kits and research team trying to work on the same, these so calledCOVID-19 ministers are useless figureheads.
Either work on detection, prevention, vaccine or developing treatment Mr so called president and your team.
I thought we have University of science and technology that is supposed to spearhead such research, what is happening?
So no mention on how they will combat the virus? Just another way of siphoning taxpayers money. Mbuli zokha zokha. Hope they can all travel to China to learn how to fight the disease (being sarcastic). Especially Chimulirenji likes to travel.
Kuti zimveke bwanji
Hahahaha ma allowance adyedwe. Akanganya awa.. No qualified medical personnel. These are not brilliant people .
Our lives are in the hands of Jappie, Chimulirenji and Dausi led by APM. Lets just start digging the graves.
Why appoint all men special cabinet committee on coronavirus? Where are women??
Where are the medical people with brilliant minds! Where are the women, where are public health official in this committee???? Koma Bakha ndi Bakha basi
