Nyasa Times has introduced a new column called ‘Off the Wall Of …’  We will be taking a Malawi Facebook Post of the Day and republish on Nyasa Times.

Sam Zuze, a relation of the First Lady has been appointed as Finance Director at Malawi Revenue Authority through a simple instruction from the ‘Prime Minister’.

My take: Having qualifications and experience is ok. Being given a position on a silver platter is wrong!

Being given a position even after failing interviews is fraud.

Leaving people who are better qualified and passed the interviews with flying colours is stranger than fiction.

Giving someone a position because he has a relation in State House is nepotism. It’s what we are fighting against.

We demand transparency in recruitment of people in all government departments. We will not relent. We will not quit. We want change in this country and change will come no matter what anybody call us. We are young. We have energy and we feel our energy must be utilised in transforming Malawi. Aluta continua!
