Pastor Dokani Ngwira appointed new Malawi spy chief
President Lazarus Chakwera has appointed former spy officer Dokani Ngwira to his administration’s most senior intelligence post as as the chief of the country’s spy agency, a government statement said on Wednesday.
Chakwera, sworn in in June, also appointed a number of other individuals to his 31-member cabinet though key positions like the finance minister had already been announced.
According to a statement issued by Chief Secretary to Government, Zanga Zanga Chikhosi, President Chakwera has appointed Water Services Association of Malawi (Wasam) executive secretary Dokani Ngwira as National Intelligence Services (NIS) director general.
Ngwira, a church preacher fondly called by his friends as ‘GDog’, is a former intellegince officer and now returns as Malawi chief spy replacing f Kenam Kalilani – a digital money and ICT expert – who was appointed by immediate past president Peter Mutharika to the position in April.
The new spy chief Ngwira is a holder of Masters in Business Administration from the Eastern and Southern African Institute of Management (ESAMI) and Bachelor of Business Administration from University of Malawi.
The top national security expert in Malawi is also a lay Pastor serving as Resident Pastor of the House of Knowledge Worship Centre at Kawale in Lilongwe that he was commissioned to establish as a branch of the 11th Hour Labourers Church, which is one of the steadily growing Pentecostal ministries in Malawi.

The spying agency is populated with men and women from all kinds of professions; your doctors, nurses, engineers, IT experts, accountants, academics, politicians, diplomats, students – you name them! Each agent is assigned duties in accordance with their specialities. Spying is the only establishment that recruits across professions then of course administer some in-house specific training. Even if we were to assume he didn’t have a background in spying, which he has, the MBA he has would qualify him to manage the agency. It is not like he will be in the trenches himself spying. His job is to manage the proactive gathering, analysis of intelligence and making recommendations.
So, a pastor is now a chief spy…great
ubusa to G dog aa zimatha bwa
We are DOOMED. Spy Chief kuoneka ngati chiwala cha Bwam’noni.
Dokani once worked in the Intelligence Unit so he has experience
Koma mukumudziwa munthuyu. komanso kumene akuchokera. Haven’t you read in the story that he was a spy officer before in Malawi? fufuzani kaye.
Musiyeni G-Dog amenye vep. Man of God……
Koma malingana ndi makalatawa ntchitoyi simbali yake.komanso chief of spy ndiubusa sizikugwirizana
Komabe Mr ngwira ndinyengo yake basi zamasiku otsiliza anthu adzakala okonda ndalama tengani job basi malemba akwaniritsidwe
Obviously the qualification is totally different with the position i think its just a matter of Appeasement
Hehe mayina akuPoly G-Dog ma man.
A quick look at his qualification!!!! one wonders as to what makes him the right ,man for the job
servants of God are capable and they are supposed to taik dominion
Can’t these positions be reserved for the retired military or police capable personnel… a pastor being a spy?
I hold your same line of thinking…..
he once work in National Intelligence Bureau under Maluzi. So he is capable!
But its said he was an Intelligence Officer. Did you miss that bit when you were reading or you had a preconceived mind and thus missed that.
Good job Kalilani out
Zinazitu mungochitila mwanono how can u replace someone who is capable on the position ndi Vendor?
Boma la DPP linanyanya kuchuluka nyasi, kuba, kukondera, kupha ndiye abwino sakanatha kupulumukako. Somba ikawola ….. Eetu. Nankhumwa alikuti pano? Waku parliament basi pano koma anthu amakonda zimene analikupanga.
Who is a vendor you cant say that!
One holding business admin. When we talk about spying it all falls in the ICT industry not Business Admin…. Watch VICELAND -Cyberwar and Terrorism as your eye OPENER kuti Business admin angachite chan when it comes to spying kaya mwina mtera
It could be MBA but IM/IT…
he once worked in National Intelligence Bureau under Maluzi. So is capable
Capable of what? Do he know spyware and rootkits? Does he know how to operate a drone? We’re living in a digital world nde za Nthawi yamuluzi yodalila Mankhwala idapita nde tiyeni nazo
You see to many movies..Someone with a masters degree can learn anything. Once you have your first degree, for your masters you can change discipline..So maybe he studied Intelligence….Give the man a chance .Amalawi.eish
Misalaaaaaa.sl
Py ndi mulunguuu
All the best, make malawi great.
God help us.
