There is mounting opposition to Foreign Affairs Minister, George Chaponda in the ruling Democratic Progressive Party ( DPP) structures led...
Shame my country
Iam encouraging ministry of Local Gvt. to look into District assemblies, there is too much financial mismanagement, including in Sectors like Health. DHO’s conive with Dc’s in Cashgate at the expense of Services. Certain DHO is buying expensive cars yet he doen’t have a private business that can generate the money he is squandering
Whilst our focus is on Capital Hill, We should also look at assemblies Especially Health sectors, there is too much cashgate happening in these sectors. I know of a certain DHO who has turned down transfer x5 because of the ORT. he can do anything at will with the ORT. and yet patients have been getting Soya Pieces on daily basis for the past 9 months!
Good ideas but these measures should strart with Head of State not to get allowances when he is performing his day to day duties. Likewise ministers.
Doctors and medical personnel should not share medicines amongst themselves like ration. Extension officers are more of farmers themselves than advisors.
Contractors be it construction or any service deliveries should get what is due for the job not more than that.
In short it requires a concerted effort from both public and private sectors
Simango you have pointed at one cause of the problem which is well known. Theft and plunder of resources at Capital Hill, I will add City Assemblies, Statutory Corporations, State House. The country is sinking. But what is the solution. Magufuli everthing No. I dont know what you mean by Magufuli everything. But if it is in reference to what the Magufuli I know is doing to revamp our Neighbouring country, including laying claim to our Lake Malawi, I say No. What are the problems. Poverty, Hunger, Disease,Lack of Services etc. While I agree with you that some of these… Read more »
This is very much true Mr Simango There is a situation where people are so educated and ambitious in Malawi but there is no access to economic opportunities. Furthermore, there has been a constant limited access to basic services and no equal distribution of wealth. This is because the civil servants are continuously stealing our tax money Where do all the donor money go, year in and year out? It takes one 3 hours to drive a 50 km distance because the roads are terrible. Very much so. Most of the people who have money – the only way is… Read more »
Government have a tendency of allowing fuel to be bought and put in Officer’s personal cars and yet they are given fuel allocation together with their salaries. Politicians are given fuel when travelling yet they claim more fuel from the departments they visit. Are these not double claims?
Charles has made my day. He makes insightful observations and the proposals he is making can make Malawi tick and steadily move up the development index.
DPP take note and take a decisive step to redeem your otherwise tattered image. Trim dead wood from your ranks; there are so many for comfort. You can achieve a lot if only you boldly remove individuals whose only qualification is praise singing or bad mouthing the opposition!
You are right Charles. Malawi needs young and dynamic leaders not these old grandfathers .They have been there for too long and the system is now rotten to the core.
Why should we still keep on bringing old people to run the Government yet we know that things are changing. We need to be decisive.
I love this… Great writing. The truth. In civil service this time a Driver can tell the Officers to go to hell. “Ndimabwana”. They are even grooming their kids to go to school to become drivers at capital hill. kikikikiki. My beloved Malawi. You spend years in school..only to die poor. BUT a mere driver? Is having Mansions..A mere Accouts Clerk? Having fun pa Malawi.. CRAZY. GOGOGO Magufuli. Bring in SANITY.. Or We all run..Let the Drivers and The Accounts Clerks DO the civil service. STUPID Blind People in Power.
