Nocma suspends financial accountant, 3 others for alleged indiscipline
State-owned National Oil Company of Malawi (Nocma) has suspended financial accountant Mabvuto Ndalahoma and three other employees for alleged indiscipline, the deputy chief executive officer Helen Buluma said in a notice she signed.
Other suspended employees include human resources and administration officer Margret Sakala, communications officer Telephonia Chigwenembe and personal assistant in the office of the chief executive officer (CEO) Christabel Chikusa.
However, Buluma’s notice does not indicate the alleged misconduct.
She however said the suspension is for two weeks period effective March 4 2021 paving way for investigations and disciplinary hearing.
“During this time, all the four members of staff have been. asked not transact on any Nocma business nor come to the office until further communication from management through human resources and administration department,” reads the notice in part.
However, Nocma sources indicate the four employees have been suspended on suspicion that they were among staff who had raised a petition to be given to the company’s board of directors headed by Secretary to President and Cabinet (SPC) Zangazanga Chikhosi which catalogued their grievances against Buluma’s management style
Buluma refused to comment on the matter.
Nocma currently has no CEO following the suspension of Gift Dulla last year to pave the way for investigations into alleged financial and procurement mismanagement at the entity.
Dulla was suspended alongside director of finance (DoF) Richard Milanzi.
Nocma board appointed Buluma as acting CEO with Dingiswayo Sambo as acting DoF.
But Buluma reverted to the position of deputy CEO after political pressure that she has been an operative of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and there are a spate of investigations into alleged plunder of various State enterprises during the era of DPP.
Nocma Limited is wholly owned by the Government of Malawi and was formed in line with the National Energy Policy of January 2003, but was registered on December 14 2010 under the Companies Act of 1984.
The strategic company is involved in fuel importation, storage at strategic fuel reserves and distribution nationwide. It is complemented by Petroleum Importers Limited, a consortium of private sector petroleum trading companies.

Zimathekaso kupanga yamu office kkkkk
Actually it’s Telephorous but as most tabloids, spellings are not their thing
So what? They will be getting their salaries anyway and at the rate we are going, their cases may not be completed for the next year or more. Maybe, being a parastatal, the disciplinary hearing will be speeded up.
yes. they will be getting their salaries. according to employment act 2000, if their suspected offence does not involve money they will be getting their full salary
Is Telephonia his real name?
His real name is even funnier, Telephorous.
Political interference at it’s best that’s why Malawi be forever poor nothing is working bcoz politics
A maggie Sakala munali busy ku nyengana ndi former CEO Dulla, kumakula mtima pa NOCMA, kumatengana ndi Dulla ku South Africa lero ndiizi, you need to repent my sister. Kumatenga ndi Dulla ku mulakho wa alomwe. Kumazionetsera kuti ndinu ma Cadet
Any and every Malawian has a right of association to any party or political grouping. Stop writing nonsense in italics because of jealousy
I agree 100%, however, those belonging to opposition parties are not agents for their masters delberately causing confusion.to derail strategic direction.
true. it was their right to associate
Zavuta apa
Someone is not doing their work. NOCMA as it stands, is in shambles. What’s baffling is that the board which is headed by the SPC seems to be nowhere to correct things so that the entity is kept afloat. Could this be deliberate or an indication of incompetence?
Where is written it’s in shambles?
Unless u are an idiot that can’t see and understand what he is talking about
And some one wants to tell me that ” kukongola kulibe phindu”. Obviously this lady is using it to her advantage because her exit was long overdue.
The lady in the picture is not Hellen Buluma
Still very beautiful lady. Nice lips.
