Police explain charges for Maneb bosses
Malawi Police have explained the charges that have been slapped on former Malawi National Examinations Board (Maneb) executive director Gerald Chiunda and three others in relation to the cancelled 2020 Malawi School Certificate of Education (MSCE) examinations.

National police spokesperson James Kadadzera said Chiunda who was arrested alongside Ishmael Faki, chief examination development officer, Joseph Chilombe, chief examination officer, and Owen Kutho, head of security have been charged for contravening Maneb Act.
Maneb Act (1987) mandates the board to take charge of the process if localising the development and administration of national examinations.
Kadadzera said the four, who are currently being held at Zomba Police Station, have been charged for allegedly failing to exercise due care in relation to the safety of national examination materials and that they failed to take reasonable steps for the security of national examination materials in accordance with the Maneb Act.
“Their arrests follows findings of police investigations into the matter,” said Kadadzera.
He said the four twill appear in court for prosecution.

Paja oxygen anatha ku Bingu stadium and a patient passed on.
Who will be arrested for not exercising due diligence?
Za MANEB, no deaths were recorded.
It was proper to nullfy everything without leaving anything unlike the sellective action on ellection which nullfied /turgeted only one part.But arresting ???? Ngati analephera ntchito osangowachotsa or demot bwaa?
Chakwera please behave like a Pastor and Chilima you are always stubborn. You two guys have a lot of vengeance but God is teaching you today that “Vengeance is not yours” if you try to go against God, He will punish you badly. You know it from your hearts that there are people you planted in MANEB to demolish Chiunda and now that you are successful with that, you have been able to fire him. As if that is not enough, you are putting him in jail so that he can rot forgetting that Chiunda is a responsible man for his children, wife, parents and relatives. You know, you have no case for him but you are just trying to complicate things so that you are completely done with him. Let me tell you this: God is watching and He won’t let you succeed with your evil intentions and you’ll be surprised how God will save Chiunda and his group and make you suffer for the consequencies
mmene ankanin’ginila a boma ladzulo aja. a malawi kumacita kuenda atapanila micila ngati agalu a mmudzi kuopsezedwa ndi galu obwera. they were a load who just could and can t be trusted. kha mbeu imene ijayo inagulidwa edmaki yake itiyo.ati ziii asowatu .ma bhankweti ose zii angosuzumila ngati zimbalame za mu mphako ya mtengo.
LMC & SKC angoyamba then Covid kufulika sikuti sakugwila ncito. let s give them a chance.
We were there when the late Dumbo Lemani, Sam Mpasu and others suffered at the hands of late Bingu and his DPP yet these were the same people that assisted Bingu to become president.What is so special with Chiunda?
Hmm. Are they claiming that the Executive Director was involved in peddling “likasa”? That’s extraordinary, to say the least. I find it extremely hard to believe this can be the case. Maybe deep down he was a cadet and felt duty bound to leak the exams so as to embarrass the new regime? That would be very foolish!
Anyways, the police better have a strong case, else achita sembwe.
I see lawsuits that will cost the taxpayer millions coming.
Kumeneku nde kusowa mulandu woti awaimbe mabwanawa, kuvomereza kuti alephera kumpedza munthu amene anatulutsa mayeso. Kumanga anthu kuti zingooneka kuti ena akugwira ntchito basi.
Mayeso akamalembedwa, amasungidwa malo ambiri osiyana siyana kumene mphamvu (authority) ya mabwana a ku maneb sifikilako kweni kweni. Mulandu uwu uwonongetsa ndalama zina za boma zochuluka, kuwonjezera pa zimene zaonongeka kale.
You are being very very unfair to these MANEB officials. Do You really think Chiunda et al can choose to leak their own exams? Really? I can tell you that these exams were leaked by a Nonse Alliance sympathiser who wanted Chiunda out of MANEB for being mistaken as a DPP cadet. Please release these MANEB officers IMMEDIATELY!!!.
leaking ya maeso yayamba lelo????
I think a system failure can be attributed to the head of the system but not that they r responsible for whole failure. They had police escort and security why not pick Police IG too. Kikikiki
Good reasoning.
if an accounts clerk has stolen money do you arrest all the bosses above them??? This type of thinking government will pay alot of money to them
Noooo, the fuck up was done by these bosses. You will see in court, beans will be spilled
After these people were suspended, there was another leak. Did they come from suspension to administer the second leak? Why don’t you just dismiss the whole board and revert to the old way of getting exams set in UK though expensive through this route?
kwambili ofufuza in the name of kufufuza amaopa going deep to to the root that’s he reason milandu siimatha amangoti umboni operewera. fwetseki
Kodi pali proof beyond resoanable doubt kuti ndi wowodi anapangitsa leakage. Pakuyenera kuti mukhale ndi visial proof. Kuli ma kamera ku maneb ko kuti munawaona akutulutsa mayeso wo. Akayenera kupatsidwa chipukuta misozi cha chikulu ngati sapezeka wolakwa pa mulandu umenewu. Koma police criminal forensic ikikodi kuno kwathu? Kapena zomwezi za guess work zongoti eeee tikuwaganizira. Ma Phone munawalanda kuti muune kuti amalemba izi kapena amayankhulana izi. Paja satipanganso rica ma phonewa eesh.
CCTV were shut down and security officers were reduced to 4 of 10 when they were called for hearing at parliamentary committee they failed to back up their decisions
ma CCTV CAMERA amagumulidwa tinaonela ku AIRCARGO. takanani muone
Mwasowa zifukwa zowachotsera ntchito anthu awa. A polish ntchito yanu ndikuteteza anthu ndi katundu. Ndiye pamemepa tidziti nanunso mumangidwe chifukwa mukulephera kuteteza anthu achi albino?
this is politics
When I was in form 4 in 1986 exams were leaked as usual. Corruption has become our way of life and our work ethos are shockingly bad. We promise to root out corruption but it gets bad with every regime. Unless African begin to become more responsible generations to come will still find this continent a jungle. Africans are a bunch of thieves no matter how educated they are
Previous leaks were a coverup under DPP and these guys are paying for the SINS of DPP. These guys were DPP plants and every leakage was well calculated, you cannot arrest yourself. They forgot that another government was in place.
ma untouchables then. dziko kungoti ziiiiii. ma citizens kulephera kukhosomola . ma machine a remote control akuendetsa ziko. pano anthu ayamba kutsekula kucikamwa kwaonerera a Tonse popeza acina Chisale ndi team yake ntopwa1 bangwe 1 anacoka.
This is not the first time we have exam leakage in the country and no MANEB official has ever been arrested, more so basing on such useless quoting of the MANEB Act. This is indeed waste of resources as the police will fail to mention the specific crime the officials have committed, otherwise the issue can best be handled administratively.
and I can sense some political elements in this
So you would rather the status quo to remain, is no one should be taken to task? Note that we have a new administration.
Paja za malamuro kwayinu nda pongodzi eti, the charges placed in them is negligence of their duties or failing to exercise dure care . This is a straight forward Charge and they can’t run away from it coz it happens whilst they were incharge of the board.
Apa palibe chilungamo mpangono pomwe.OChiunda samalemba mayeso nchitoyi imakhala mmanja mwa ma examiners amene ali aphunzitsi ochokera mbali zosiyana siyana mMalawi muno. Chotero ndibwino kuunikanso anthu amewa.Mr Chiunda and senior staff members do not do the donkey work and should not be treated in this manner.Just revisit the system of examination formation and come up with a reform.For some of us our form 4 examination were formed in UK at Cambridge and no student could score single digit points as it is today.Examiners are to blame especially those from cities.
True
Kuganiza mwaubakha kumeneko , Chiunda as CEO ,his duty was to make sure exams are well protected and well administered, If you are talking about the past true thatt why people voted out DDP since they were part of thievery, Mayeso amapangira business kuti azigulitsa ndikupasa ana awo
aphunzitsi samadziwa zomwe zitabwere pa mayeso because many papers are formed for one subject and later there is a selection of the questions from different papers to form one that will be adminisstered. Note also that for example if 6 teachers are invited to form biology paper, none of them has the privilage of seeing the other ones papers. Umangoona lako lokha. the choosing of questions to form a paper does is not carried out by the teachers who form the exam. examination officers at maneb can explain better. In short maned officers ndi amene amadziwa za pepala loti lilembedwe.
what a waste of time. What about the examiners?
Questions from a Cadet are easy to notice! What do the examiners have to do with this, don’t you get it the Police investigated? Heads must role. Deal with the people in charge to stop such stupid acts from happening again. Mulira mukodza simunati forget about bouncing back!
there’s no issue here. errors might have been made but this not criminal in nature.
The courts will decide not you
fake courts
You think Jade’s question is of no substance because you’re politically motivated. Leakage of examination always starts with examiners who are called most of the times by reputabke schools to teach when exams are near. What do you think happens there? MANEB need to find external examiners who are not linked directly to us.
Even these exams Students have taken may be leaked in one way or another including through examiners if MANEB kept the papers in stores for 7 months, massive leakage was imminent.
If you were an examiner you would not say this. I have been one. you cant leak exams because as an examiner you never know what will come in the exams
