Mutharika creates new ministry, takes away Dodma from vice presidency
President Peter Mutharika has removed the Department of Disaster Management Affairs (Dodma) from the office of the state vice president following the Constitutional Court ordered reinstatement of Saulos Chilima.
This means Chilima is the State vice-president without a Cabinet portfolio.
In a brief statement, Secretary to the Office of the President and Cabinet Lloyd Muhara says the department is now a stand alone ministry.
“I write to inform you that His Excellency president professor Arthur Peter Mutharika has directed that a new ministry to be called ministry of Disaster Management Affairs and Public Events be created,” says Muhara.
It is expected that Everton Chimulirenji, who ceased to be the vice president following the annulment of the May 21, 2019 presidential election will be consolidated with the ministerial post.
Kkkkkk. Kooomaaaa! What kind of decision making is this? You decide to punish someone by giving them a salary for no work? And you have some people around you clapping hands for you for making such a decision? To begin with, know that that decision does not change anything – Chilima is still VP and Chimulirenji is not. Secondly, the court did not rule that Chilima should be responsible for DODMA, so again it changes nothing for him. Thirdly, you will you create another Police Service just because the current one is also responsible for Chilima’s security? Bwana SKC, HE… Read more »
That’s the truth my brother
Chilima ndi chikwela muli ndi ntchito yodzamanga mbava izi posachedwa kkkkkkk makanitu onsewa akudziwa chomwe chikubwela and popeza ndi asatana onse sakumva za wanthu ai,amalawi ake ati omwe akunenedwa apa ndi A DAUSI????
I want to be in SKC’s position, just sit home and get paid with all the perks that come with VP, I’m loving it SKC! Enjoy it!! iwe duuuuu, osatekeseka…..these people are soooooooooo retarded
Okay, now don’t accuse Chilima of being paid for no services, its all the President s fault. So Chilima enjoy your freebees! ……..
A Petty decision, by the first lady. APM is completely senile.
Very bad decision. There are better Departments that are fit to be ministries on their own. Take for example, the Department of water and irrigation; which has zochita bweee koma ndi Department. Osawapatsa Department imeneyi bwanji a Chimulirenjiwo ngati akufunika promotion.
Koma kuyipa mtima kumeneku eeeee ayi ndithu umbuli sikusapita kokha ku school apa ndawonela Nthalikayu
Mwayesa munda wanu eti. Muzisiya. Mukakamila tizakuchosani mwamanyazi mbuya. This is our Malawi.
I knew this was coming.
Chilima will be in office and will be assigned nothing from the HE He will only be enjoying salaries and the benefits thereof.
The Constitution must be revisited otherwise this ovp has been thrown into potholes for many years since the dawn of democracy.
When Chilima resigned to work with the DPP, he abondoned these duties of DODMA alltogether. Nicholas Daudi was the one who was doing these duties for 18 months when Chilima left whilst he was still VP. So there is no news here if we have to go by the court judgement which reversed everything to be as they were before 21/5/19.
