No to flawed reforms: 1. Chilima is an elected representative of the DPP ,therefore his interests are in protecting the DPP manifesto in government. How could such a person recommend the dismissal of public servants whom he found in post? 2.Results of the Reform should have been presented to Parliament before being approved by the president. 3. Why should a new ministry be created to conduct public sector reforms when this should have been under the Department of Human Resources? 4. What criteria will be followed to establish the 56 PSs to be dismissed? Is this not a way of… Read more »

success comes when one learns to take risk decisions. What makes Malawi to remain at this same level after fifty years of indipendence is because important but risk decisions are always avoided or ignored. How I wish to imagine those who invented aeroplane and how first flying experience was like, think of the possible engine failure and any malfunctioning of the plane whilst in the air. Today people are enjoying flights because others made risky decisions. M’boma muli nkhalamba zambirimbiri others were recalled to continue working on month to month basis as if young blood is not there. Tachotsani aliyense… Read more »

Nkhaniyo ndayikonda kwabasi. Yafotokozamo ubwino komanso kuipa kwa reform. Koma kwambiri kwa ine ungachuluke ndi ubwino. AQnthu apatsidwe zawo akayambe mabusiness osiyana siyana ngakhale ulimi. Onse angachotsedwe apange compani imodzi ya ulimi. Aliwona phindu lochuluka kuposa kukhala pa ntchito mboma. Achimwene mboma anthu ambiri amangodya ndalama zamisonkho.

Entrepreneurship, resourcefulness, financial independence and creativity are not Malawian character traits.Malawians are JOB-SEEKERS by nature. Thus, laying off 60,000 lazy people will create 60,000 lazy and jobless people. even with a golden handshake, however generous, will just create 60,000 more people with money to spend at drinking joints and prostitutes. yes, that will be their contribution to the economy-increased booze and uhule sales for a short time! then what?? It is very instructive to know that the citizens of a country reflect the character of the country itself. Malawi as a nation is extremely financially dependent on donors, non-resourceful, begging,… Read more »

Amongst the key features we require of a civil service is one that is professional, objective and impartial. Having noted that in recent years tribalism has been the sure qualification one needs to ascend to positions in the civil service, how can we expect to have a civil service that is professional and objective? Are you telling me that you will have no fear to get rid of the many Lomwes who have assumed positions on the basis tribal lineage? Are you telling me you will have a commission that will hire based on ability and not quota? The whole… Read more »
