Namalomba clings to public post at Egenco while contesting for parliament seat
Chief Financial Controller at the country’s main producer of power, Electricity Generation Company (Egenco), Shadreck Namalomba continues to hold a senior public job while he is contesting for a parliamentary seat on a governing Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) parliamentary ticket, contrary to public service regulations.
Namalomba is contesting in the Mangochi South West Constituency parliamentary seat while still working as Chief Financial Officer at Egenco, a public entity that was created after the delinking of ESCOM, the later being known for being the ruling party’s main cash cow.
As to why Namalomba has been allowed to continue managing Egenco funds while running on the DPP ticket, is anything but a secret.
A senior member of Mulakho wa Alomwe and an organizing committee chairperson for its most recent annual gathering, Namalomba, is part of a clique of DPP’s blue-eyed boys wh oget appointed to plump jobs, usually without any interview.
Amongst his prior lucrative appointment was one at the Malawi Revenue Authority (MRA) where he wielded a lot of muscle.
That is why Malawi is still poor and come May 21 my beloved people will still vote them back to power
Blue eyed boy KKKK
The problem is not the institution but rather the President for condoning such blantant disregard for the law. Another rotten fish Chipungu who also holds a public office but is aspiring as MP. It all stems down to leadership quality. He forgets that he is president of Malawi and not Lomwe belt. What he is doing now will be emulated by future generations. Soon even the private sector will be marred with regionalism and nepotism. We really need to drain the swamp.
This is a DPP plant to ensure every tambala is squeezed out of Egenco. And what do you expect from a parastatal chaired by the government’s Chief Secretary? And who are the Board members? Kuba basi.
Shardeck is an accountant. If there is anybody who is sane, this man should be reported to Institute of Chartered Accountants of Malawi (ICAM ) so that he is deregistered. Secondly, CSOs should sue him to pay back all the fat money he has pocketed since he went into this position todate.
check before you write, havent u heard word unpaid leave or sabbattical leave? do you think him is stupid and him is not a cival servant, our problem is our jornalist are uneducated
I refer you to highcourt election case 3/2014 involving Dr Dam Safuli vs MEC. The judge determined that a University Lecturer (Dr Safuli was a Lecturer at MZUNI) is not a public officer.
I don’t see any difference between MZUNI and EGENCO.
Everything has its ending. There are 21 days to go. All this impunity will be over.
After all he is not the only one, Chilima, Atupele and APM are clinging to public office. This include all other ministers contesting on Parliamentary seats & Presidency for some
You don’t know the law. APM, Chiliza and Atupele (as a minister) are not holding a public office.
Typical of D.P.P. led govt.Greed,thieving and arrogance.
we are a joke as a country. How is this even possible? Imagine if he was contesting on an opposition party ticket.
Namalomba publicly told pple frm mangochi southwest that he was sent by peter to contest and the money he uses are frm peter .I don’t think he can be fired ,mwina mec can do the best!
He is not the only one. Most DPP hadow MPs are still working. Some they dont have time for office busy campaning. I have a friend who is contesting but he is happly employed.
THIS IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE AS SUCH HE SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO BE IN THE PARLIAMENT AND HE SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM EGENCO FORTHWITH
The board of directors are aware and the CEO is aware. If government changes hands they should all be fired for incompetence. They will not be allowed to use his links to DPP as an excuse to why he wasnt asked to resign. In fact if you ask him to resign or fire him, and you get fired for that decision you are the one who can sue for unfair dismissal for doing your job. Koma poti a CEO nawo ndi mulhako, basitu, nyusansi continues.
Koma this lawlessness will take us nowhere, lets hope we will have a new regime otherwise the whole country will turn inti mulakho ndithu
Lhomwelisation policy of public and parastatal sectors has now a clear deadline, it is 21st May. The culture of nepotism, impunity, lawlessness must stop.
If this is true then the rules are very clear. OPC please deal!
And why is MEC allowing such things ?this is vote rigging
Anthuwa ndi amodzi ndi mbali inanso imene akufuna kubera ndalama
The problem is with Management at Egenco. They should implement the rules to the letter. What are they waiting for? Government? In fact, Namalomba should be made to pay back the money he has earned from the time he submitted the papers. This is stealing and we want to recruit an individual into the position of MP with that record? That’s a joke.
If Namalomba pays then i hope Chilima will do the same too.
