VOICE MHONE BEEN FILLED WITH A BIG BISCUIT TO MAKE HIS NGO SILENT.
This is very funny. The President and his Cabinet talks of gender equity and here we are just one woman. When shall Malawi leadership WALK THE TALK. Women are more productive and not just sex symbols or dancers. What is the impact of 50/50 . There are many educated well experienced women but being rejected. Shame Mr President.
I really don’t care where you post Thoko Banda, I will get my money by any means necessary even if it means embarrassing the Malawi Government. This will be huge!!!!!
He has killed the Voice. You will never hear it. It has swallowed a big bun!
So Thoko Banda to Zimbabwe huh? A fitting destination for a dude with no degree.
Congrats Mr. Yunus Mussa.
this man plays politics smartly. That’s a great thing the president has done, not forgetting late brothers respectful friend and jovial party member with all his energy and money. Bravo Mussa.
but I can’t wait for Chakwera to win and rule Malawi for a change.
The whole world, except Malawi, has gone Caree Diplomatic Service. Malawians, for how long is your Diplomatic Service going to remain Primitive.
I hope these political appointees will be backed up by professionals, mainly from your Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Malawi is shaming. As foreigners we do not understand.
‘subject to confirmation by the parliamentary pac’, what a joke? are you serious, is this not the very same pac full of idiots who were busy clapping hands for chief cashgater mphwiyo instead of asking him where he was getting his unexplained wealth?????? are these not the same fools who employed this criminal christopher tukula as the assets declaration director, not mentioning the ‘babysh’ diplomatic interviews with thoko banda?????????????? ooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh give me a break, pac my foot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Malawians, I hope the support team to these political appointees will be professionals. I know, you are the most backward country when it comes to diplomatic service. Your counterparts in the world have moved to Career Diplomatic Service. Do not be rudementary please !!!!!!
