Suspending an officer to pave way for an investigation is how the normal order of things operate. How do you investigate someone who is still in power? They have all the opportunity to either directly or indirectly have any evidence disappear or tamper with it. If he is cleared after the investigation, well and good he can resume his duties but in order to have a meaningful investigation these two have to go for sure. A parallel case in mind in Australia a minister, Ms Ley, who is ACCUSED of using tax-payers money for her personal use has stepped aside… Read more »

IT IS ONLY IN MALAWI WHERE YOU INSTITUTE A COMMISSION OF ENQUIRY ON THE CABINENT MINISTER WHEN THE OWNER IS STILL IN OFFICE. WHAT A SHAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHY HAVE THE ENQUIRY IN THE FIRST PLACE AND WHAT IS THE MOTIVE? WHERE ELSE ON EARTH DOES THAT HAPPEN?

why is it that in the civil service when one is accused of the same offence as the minister is being accused of, or any other criminal offence or negligence, s/he is interdicted from work with half pay to allow investigations take place and is only re-instated when the investigation proves that there was no offence committed. shouldn’t this rule also be applied to ministers and the
“politically”connected?

For your information, Admarc CEO Mlumbe is related to Peter Mutharika. They are cousins. So don’t expect Mlumbe to be incriminated in the report. Nepotism ija kuyipa kwake nkumeneku.

They are all in it. So they can’t fire each other.

APM is not only being fair, he’s also being prudent. His legal mind kicks in, especially when faced with situations like this. Legal processes are naturally slow; and the system should be allowed to take its course. No hurrying here.
Contrary to some insinuations, there is no “wakwithu” syndrome here. Let the inquiry Commission do its job. If people were fired for wild claims and innuendos like these, then, let’s face it, none of us would have a job. Detractors: sober up, will you? What have you been smoking?

I doubt that both Chaponda and Mutharika know what they are doing. Listen to a lot of preachings in most of the catholic churches today. They say we Lhomwes should not appoint one another because of tribal lines. Mohiwa, alhomwe akhwaaka (Have you heard, my fellow Lhomwes). Something is in the cook up in this church. We better be on the look out. Remember, it is the same church that brought down Bakili Muluzi. When Bingu Mutharika tried to fight the same church, he died of cardiac arrest. In DRC, Kabila is on his way out because of the bishops.… Read more »
