President Peter Mutharika has promised civil servants a pay hike every year.
President Mutharika speaking to female civil servants in Mzuzu
Mutharika was speaking Friday at Mzuzu State Lodge when he appeared briefly at a luncheon First Lady hosted for lady civil servants in the northern region.
“I promise you every year I will be raising the salary for civil servants. If I am in government after next year, I will make this promise happen,” said Mutharika.
He described the civil service as the engine for driving the society and that the 10 percent increment government effected last year was not enough.
“When I see civil servants I see people who are working so hard to transform our country. We are making progress in this country because of you,” he said.
He asked civil servants to be proud of themselves and the sacrifice they make to the nation.
“I started working as a young man in the Ministry of Agriculture, then I went to the Ministry of Labour; so I know what it is to be a civil servant because my father, too, was a civil servant,” he said.
The President said he will also ensure that civil servants have access to low interest loans, adding that teachers are already accessing loans from Malawi Enterprise Development Fund (MEDEF).
Mutharika said that he will also make sure that civil servants are able to live in decent houses that they
can rent and purchase.
He assured civil servants that since the economy has improved, government has resumed promoting civil servants and recruiting new staff.
“When I took over government in 2014 the economy was bad, it was almost bankrupt but today we have reduced inflation,” he said.
“I know some have upgraded themselves but they are at the same grade. I want to tell you that we are
reviewing this issue.
“On issues of promotion, we are doing our best within the limited resources to make sure that we collect
the situation,” Mutharika said.
Speaking earlier, Northern Region Lady Civil Servants Chairperson Sekani Gondwe asked the President
for promotions saying most employees have been at the same grade for a long time despite others upgrading their qualifications.

Only a few months ago he told civil servants that Malawi gov. Cant afford salary increase and told civil servants to quit if they want!!
Tis president is big time liar!
ON DIFFERENT NOTE, AM WORRIED ON BORROWINGS THE GOVERNMENT SECURE, IS IT POSSIBLE TO ANNOUNCE PUBLICALLY WHAT THE GOVERNMENT HAS BORROWED SO FAR FOR OUR KNOWLEDGE. MANY HAVE PRAISED VARIOUS LEADERS FOR DEVELOPMENTS FINANCED BY BORROWINGS.
Kkkkkkkk. Civil servant mwayesa womuseweresa eti?
Mr President please with due respect, deliver on the many other promises and pledges you have to not only civil servants but to the people of Malawi in general. You have made hundreds of promises to Malawians and only a handful have been delivered after 5 years in power. Mr President, please focus on the people and not on winning elections……the rest will fall in place
And when were Muthalika’s promises worth listening to?
Unfortunately the writing is on the wall. Mere promises of salary hikes to a handful of civil servants is not enough to escape the boot. Mr President you had 4 and half years to fulfil what you promised in 2014 and 75% of what you promised has not been fulfilled. Why in the world then do you have the balls to start lying to Malawians with petty promises of increasing their salaries? Why don’t you do it first and tell them that you have increased their wages? You are a blatant liar Mr President and time is up. Dzimvele Pumbwa Pakila (DPP) is a bad party. If Bingu was alive, he wouldn’t have tolerated this nonsense. You can’t account as to where your wife got the money to build the apart complexes at 6 miles, you did a road from Balaka to Khwisa just because Getrude Maseko comes from there. You also repeated the same thing at 6 miles whereby the tarmac road is ending just a km and half at Getrudes apartments. Isn’t that corruption, nepotism and favoritism? Ask your friends. You will be in opposition next year and all these will be confiscated by the state and you will pay back for sure.
What the hell are you promising civil servants? Mr Bossman you are not in opposition you are in Govt walk the talk now.. after all salaries is not something you have to promise act on it the moment fuel price goes up… and let me remind you thats your minister of finance once told these civil servants yo go and work with NGOs if the want better salaries do u remember tha shit?

Komatu mutu waima big man. Monse muja munali kuti?
Too little too late too insulting. Just because they are ladies you think they are stupid and they will swallow your lies, don’t you? I bet it was Madam Professor Dr Gertrude Mutharika’s idea to host the lady civil servants, si choncho? Chicken brain! Most of those ladies were silently laughing at you, Mr and Mrs APM. Kkkkk!!!!
Abale nayenso Sekani Gondwe ngouma mutu. Does the president promote civil servants? Why ask the president? Can such civil servants perform? Anangokumana wouma mitu wokha wokha ku luncheon ko.
bodza madala where were all days
Abwana tsopano!! Mwayamba kale, mwayamba kale..kunye..kunyengelera!!! Sir, the problem is you promised us alot in 2014 but 5 years down the line you failed miserably to keep your promises! For example…where are the 10,000 police houses? where is Mombera University? how come the Presudency is still the appointing authorityof the ACB director? Where is the zero tolerance to corruption sir….when your party is receiving “gifts” from Asians with government contracts? If the el2ctions next year are about merit…then bon voyage sir!!!!
Civil servants in the north are smarter than those lies, 5 years gone with almost zero increment, now please start collecting all your foundation stones you laid over the past 5 years with nothing done and take them to your ndata. Time is up.
6 months to go! why didn’t you do it the last 4 years
Campaign ?????
What a joke!
May be if you stop stealing their tax payers money
Koma ma Civil Servants ( especially Teachers) mumawaona ngati dzitsiru dzanu! Not anymore, Malawians have woken up ……tiwone dzina Chaka chamawachi
Civil servants accessing loans from MEDEF? Gogo mwakula, get your facts right before you speak
Too little too late………..Mwana ndani?
A Maliseche, that is an insult to Civil Servants………….remember what your administration told us when we went on strike asking for a pay raise? …….. Mwaiwala kale?………. It’s pretty clear this is a campaign gimmick
Why has this failed to be implemented the past four years? Why trying to buy votes at a cheaper price?
I strongly feel such should not be a campaign item
You told us to join the private sector. Now to buy votes you will be increasing our pay. We are not fools with that u should know.
There is one idiot whose job is to vote down comments. You think this has any effect. Why didn’t the wrinkled maliseche do this the last four years.
Mwaliwona Bodza? Bodza likuchita kuyenda ndi muthalika. Chimavuta ndi chiyani kuonjezera ma civil servant mu nthawi yomwe munatenga boma. Apa zisankho zili mmphuno mwayamba Bodza. Pumbwa wamkulu
Is it not you who said amene akufuna ndalama zambiri asiye akalowe kumene amalipira zambirizo?
Gogo it’s too late to save Jericho. Do you want fool as again. Was it not your finance minister who shamelessly said if civil servant want pay hike they should leave the job? That utterance is purely political and sensible civil servants can’t swallow it.
Why didnt you do it already Mr President. Don’t try and buy votes with false promises.
Haha jst do it you are in government
Why did you then effect 10% increment yet you knew it was not enough and you pocketed K145 million for yourself
Today koz days are numbered now next 5yres increment wa bodza iwe time is over azako will do that
Civil servant mwamufuna lero chifukwa cha zisankho? Koma awanso inu
Zonena zimenezo amauzadi azimayi
Kikikiki
Ana Achepaaaaaa!
It is only dull civil servants who will allow themselves to be fooled. How long has Mutharika been in the government to realise that civil servants pay is low?
Hahaha mwayamba kunyengelera.I thought you and Gogo Goodall Gondwe openly told these poorly paid civil servants that its a calling and those wanting higher pay should join the private sector? Kusachedwa kuyiwala
