Resign or seek a job elsewhere, Goodal tells civil servants seeking salary increase
Minister of Finance, Economic Planning and Development Goodall Gondwe has said the government has no money to effect a salary increase for civil servants, telling those seeking the pay rise to resign and seek a job elsewhere.
Gonndwe said this on Tuesday when he presided over the opening of Managing for Development Results workshop in Lilongwe.
“Those who want money should look for a job elsewhere or start business,” he said.
He asked civil servants to look at their job as a calling which does not offer satisfactory financial rewards but serve people.
“The government will not be able to raise salaries for civil servants,” he said.
The IMF says Malawi has a bloated civil service with a staggering wage bill which is choking other social services but the Civil Service Trade Unions say half of those working in government are public officers appointed by President Peter Mutharika.
Lilongwe Water Board emerged winner as best performing parastatal in the delivery of public services during the Managing for Development Results
Participants to the workshop booed after Lilongwe Water Board was named.
However, LWB says it is “honoured “to be named the Number One best performing parastatal in the delivery of public services in the 2015/2016 Financial Year.
LWB spokesman Bright Sonani said in a statement.that they got he award, which included a Certificate and a Trophy, during the opening of the Managing for Development Results Learning Week an initiative of the Office of the President and Cabinet aimed at creating an efficient and effective public service that will advance socio-economic growth through achievements of the country’s medium and long term objectives and development goals.

LL water Board funds Beautify Malawi projects in the Round bouts of Lilongwe
Lilongwe waterboard has funded beautify Malawi projects that are being done around the City Centre round abouts so no wonder they are chosen the best.
Lessons from Rwanda: No government vehicle for any public officer be it PS or Director. Instead government just acts as guarantor for a vehicle loan to any civil servant who wants to buy a vehicle. Every civil servant with a car drives alone or if they employ a driver, it is their own responsibility for his salary and everything. In this way, government has reduced its wage bill by eliminating drivers and vehicle operation costs. Koma kwathu kuno, a PS has 3 government vehicles (1 for office, 1 for domestic errands used by maids, and 1 for children to and from school). Wake up Malawi, be bold and throw away mediocre. Rwanda which was reduced to the ground by the genocide is outpacing you!! Oh! Malawi my Malawi….
The whole DPP crew has failed. The Finance minister is the biggest failure in bringing back the economy of Malawi. If the Minister wants some advice, ask Chikaonda to help. My advice is; stop the useless FISP programme which is draining billions of Kwachas. I know why the FISP favoured by these leaders. It is because these is a loop hole still some money. No one checks the balances there except the Finance Minister.

The sign of a well qualified person is marketability globally.
During colonial era, Nyasa’s were sought after in the whole of Southern Africa, that is why we had the likes of Kaunda governing Zambia, Mugabe governing Zimbabwe, Kadali setting up ANC.
The history of Africa is littered with Nyasa’s doing good work all over. We then moved on to Europe, USA, as evidenced by these places allowing Malawians to go without visas until recently.
Now we have a crop of Malawians who no one wants to hire, even their own country, why because they are lazy and good for nothing, the only place they can work by using political threats is Malawi.
Malawians in foreign countries have a worse reputation than Nigerians used to have, and that says a lot.
We however ascribe corruption only to politicians. Are these Malawian politicians in:
South Africa
Botwana
Kenya
Zambia
Zimbabwe
United Kingdom
USA
etc
Where Malawians are being arrested for corruption.
Malawians can not resign from a job, they have no expertise that are wanted elsewhere. Lecturers just sitting drinking in the name of strike for pay, why not leave and find a better paying job, so many University jobs on the net, but Malawian Lecturers can not even reach the short list.
Its a shame for DPP government to talk like that have you forgotten already what you promised the people is this what you call reformation system? If it is like that you better to control the price of the commodities on market, otherwise what you are saying is an insult to us civil servants.
Before making such statements, you also need to consider how your employees will feel. And how will controlling officers work with the people you are demeaning? Why make the majority suffer for a cause that you do not even deem important?
HMMMMMMMMM.chikauluka chimatera zivute zitan ,
2019 tionana
I’m relieved it’s NOT Blantyre Water Board getting this recognition.
Some organization should also be awarded the worst performance recognition: BWB. Asa.
Stupid statement from a stupid old man. Make life affordabale to the civil servants by reducing your stupid taxes on basics.
Autsiru ndi ma civil servants. Osamusiila Goodal Ntchito za bomazo agwire yenkha bwanji?
Goodal akulankhula izi chifukwa akudziwa kuti ngankhale atawalalatira chotani ma civil servants akumalawi palibe anga nyanyale ntchito. Kuli ku maiko ena ndiyekuti mpakana akadasiya nchito goodalyo
KKKKKKKKK
Here is the wisdom of someone in a fix. The option on Goodall’s table are 2. 1-Massive retrenchment of the civil service to match the resources as per donor requirement. 2-Avoid No. 1 by maintaining same salaries thereby reducing financial deficit resulting from an increased wage bill. If you were Goodall which option would you have settled for? I am not taking any side here but sometimes what the old man can see while sitting down a young man cannot see while standing up.
zamanyazi ndithu chipani chomwe chidalonjeza anthu ogwira ntchito kuti sazidzalandila machenji ayi zikomo mwachenjera pogona tiwonana podzuka 2019 sikale mutifunaso
Koma muziba ndinu ndalama tiwonana chama 2019 chifukwa mwatinyoza mokwanila ife ma civil servants
I hope that is not a government policy statement from a minister. He should be hauled before parliament to explain. No one can force another person to resign, especially employees… it is against their personal and human rights!
I suggest it is him who should resign for failing the Malawi economy!

Chizereza iwe chi Goodal Gondwe. Kuchikamwa! At your age sukupanga resign bwanji chichekulu iwe. Ukuchitachi m’boma if not money? You and your stupid president are too old for government, resign or seek jobs elsewhere too, nonsense.
Paja anapatsa ndalama DPP anthu akugona osasamba chifukwa chosowa madzi. Vindele va kufikapo Thats why dzili pa number 1. Malawi yekha? Sadzatheka. One another note, do not forget kuti even pakati pa zitsilu pamakhala chitsilu chochenjerapo- in this case LWB
Ife a DPP taba ndalama zonse mboma….no increament. Koma zathu zokha za field ya ku Ethiopia ku AU summit za ma allowance zipezeka. Mutipelekezanso ku Airport inu nomwe ma civil servant
If Lilongwe is the best performing parastatal in Malawi, then I need to be civic educated on the meaning of “best performing.” if indeed Lilongwe is named best performing parastatal organization, then Malawi is completely off truck. In 2016, we spent weeks without any drop of water in Area 25 and today some corrupted minded people are naming LWB best performing parastatal organization. Mmmmm Malawi sadzakonzeka.
A Goodal he he he! Osapanga resign inuyo bwanji? Accept mwakalamba. Sabola wakale sawawa agogo. Tipaseni boma anafe muone momwe tingayendesele ziko. Economics ya kale ziko likusintha ili. Mxm! Chindere chakufikapo!
Poti zanu zikuyenda mpake muyankhula mopanda uzimu,God is watching.
This is an insult to. Civil servants. Sizamulungu kapena za ku. Tchalichi nkumati calling. Wachekula Gondwe
Lilongwe water being voted the best? What criteria did they use? To me their service in 2016 was very very poor, ranging from low water pressure to no water at all for days. Poor response to faults was another area they didn’t do well. Ndiye enawo apanga worse kuposa pamenepa?
koma iwe uziba
A Goodall you are foolish.You resign and we will raise the salaries for the civil service from the money you and your friends are stealing and the Indians who evade tax by corrupting you and your fellow thieves.you are useless.Nkhalamba zakuba mopanda manyazi.
