Staff at Malawi Revenue Authority finally speak out
Malawi Revenue Authority (MRA) staff from offices in districts and units operating along the borders of the country have finally come out to reveal about pathetic working conditions, tribalism and nepotism that the former ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) harshly perpetuated at the organisation over all the years it was in power.
However, the DPP has dimissed the claims.
But confirmed minutes from a scheduled meeting between a workers group and MRA management, that Nyasa Times has in possession, authenticate information gathered from the actual tax collectors.
“Previous engagement efforts by staff representatives for the commissioner general to address work challenges have failed to yield positive results,” read the minutes.
Some MRA staff that regularly conduct patrols in between districts say much as they collect billions for Malawi their working environment is pathetic as conditions of offices, furniture and cars in use have deteriorated.
Although the minutes show that commissioner general Tom Malata was taking notes about their concerns for himself, the only thing seen by their management was the haste in promoting customs staunch DPP cadets Patrice Ntilatila and Bannet Meke to become managers rising up from junior ranked officers. This took place during the election week.
The two openly campaign for the DPP in rallies and also social media disregarding an order from the Office of the President and Cabinet that reminded officials in public service not to get involved in politics or risk termination from service.
A breakdown of the tax bull’s management shows that over 90 percent of the positions are allocated based on party allegiance and tribal lines favouring Lhomwe’s from Mulanje, Thyolo, Phalombe, Zomba and Chiradzulu disregarding a standing Human Resource Policy.
“Whilst interviews undertaken by organisations are designed to address fairness and foster independence in selection, internal interviews within MRA are premeditated to rubberstamp tribal partners and party loyalist,” they were also saying this in reference to an action by Anti-Corruption Bureau that stopped recruitment of 100 people who were accused of not attending interviews.
“The way MRA bosses operate proves that it is a harbour for party zealots and tribalists masquerading as tax professionals. The epitome of all this is deputy commissioner general Roza Mbilizi whose special team has for years inflicted pain to staff from other districts, regions and those suspected not to support DPP,” they said.
But still DPP’s spokesperson Nicholas Dausi, whose child was to be employed by MRA without job interviews, says false rumours are likely to be strife about the party following election results but Malawians are wise enough to know the truth.
He refused to take more questions.

The people of our land. I usually do not comment on such issues on this forum. What the MRA staff presented here is a fine image of what has been happening in our ministry. This is none other than the famous ministry of health.
We have these 2 Mulhakhos in the ministry- that’s Dan namarika and his home boy Andrew likaka. We have suffered untold misery all these years. Dan was brought in as the ps from the private sector. Andrew was promoted to the position of director from p5 position after snatching several sections from nursing dept and planning dept which he then used these to create a directorate to make way for himself to become a director. Andulu used to claim that he was a phone call away from the adadi. Management members used to be literally shouted at like babies in management meetings. People have been transferred out, or moved like were farm workers
Andulu though a director was but actually on the seat of the ps directing him who should be promoted and who should be punished.
In short I will ONLY say that we are in a new government if these 2 are sought out. I will say that my vote has indeed liberated me if Dan and andulu are finally shown that we remain equal before God. That only God is to be worship and feared and not a mortal man.
Health was like a personal farm to them.
Justice! We cry for justice.
True one day we ppeople from the North are going to rule this country…ndife anthu a nzeru osaopa kanthu
Much I know about people from the Northern Malawi is that most of them are hard workers and educated and if you can track them you will notice that they genuinely passed job interviews. The problem we have is that we don’t want to accept that these people are far much a head of us in terms of literacy levels that is why all government existed in Malawi have tried to oppress this region so that the numbers for educated people should much with the rest of the regions.
In southern region and central region literacy levels have been very low due to the type of marriages we get engaged in by settling at a wife’s home which has caused a lot of miseries amongst us. Men tend to forget where they come from a lot of these street kids all over our streets it’s because of the type of marriages we engaged in, a man can easily leave the wife at any time he wants and marry another forgetting his children and they end up in streets. And our friends up North they value relationships and it is easy for them to agree in things because most of them know to read and speak English therefore if we are not going to improve on our weaknesses this trend shall continue for so many years.
Anyone with a court case if he wants to win that case he/she does make sure to engage a lawyer from the North, if you want to get expertise in most of the fields we always consult friends from the North in any company.
What people from the south and centre we should do is to learn from these brothers and sisters. And what was happening in this country by the DPP if it was these people I tell you everybody in the North could have a better life because these people they love one another and they respect each other unlike all other tribes in the south and central regions of Malsawi.
Even for the country to change the politics as we are now in this transition we should thank these people because they are always united and they don’t fear when they want change. Imagine how Peter Muthalika has faired in the recent elections symbolises that these people are united.
Concentrate on the topic which is here which MRA staffs have raised, they are talking of lomwelisation of MRA because lomwes had power, northerners have never had power before, so dont talk of things which dont connect them
Truth basi
koma Christina Khondiwa nde wanenedwansotu bwanji abale inu aku MRA tatiuzeni zoona tamuona kwambiri mma social media mu…

Go to Judiciary and many other Organisations, you will see its only Northerners there including watchmen and receptionist. It was also the same during Kamuzu time, Chewas filled most posts. This is a huge Malawian connundrum. We need to heal not point fingers
I agree with u Lameki, that is exactly the order of the day. I remember, one Minister from the north was responsible for Irrigation and Water development, the entire Tikwele house was full of a Tumbuka, nobody else, apart from one cleaner. So, here u will c, the MCP will do the same. During MCP, Reserve Bank was full of pple from Dedza and Kasungu.
Point of correction please, northerner are people from the north side of Malawi while tumbuka is one of the tribes found in the north side of Malawi. They are so many tribes tumbuka is one of them, and others in few are Tonga nkhatabay mzimba the ngoni’s karonga the nkhonde whilst chitipa is carrying more than 13 languages and tribes for example ndali , nyika . Don’t ever lie again to the world 😂 😂😂 that tumbuka tribe stands for Northerners. It’s just our tribe and is rumphi as small as it….
Including all, I mean all NON GOVT. ORG.[NGOs] posts in Malawi are occupied by the Northerners.
Something must be done, these evil people should punished
DPP idachotsa ntchito anthu omwe adali oyidziwa ntchito ma commissioner chifukwa chowaganizira kuti they belong to opposition parties. The like of Kamoto, Bondwe just to mention a few. Anthu waja amayigwira ntchito ndiponso ndi wophunzira. Cholinga chanu chatulukiridwa lero mumafuna muziba bwino ndalama zaboma. It’s time to fire you now. Anthu woyipa inu. Kuchita kubweretsa MPF mu ma office kuti awachotse sinkhaza izo. I urge namwenso musowe Mbiridzi, Malata ndi ena otero okhuzidwa. Dziko limasintha ili.

Koma DPP, Mwakhala mukutilakwila a Malawi kwa zaka zambiri. Koma inuyo munalengedwa ndi Mulungu yemweyo ?
I stopped applying for any position in this organisation some ten years ago. Let me continue with farming basi. I will try next time when my brother becomes a Minister.
The DPP diehards forgot that Malawi is not their farm or tribal company.The country belong to all Malawians in 193 constituencies,28 districts three regions and one country.And we are all equal.Give all Malawians opportunities.Now when the new government is sweeping these institutions some people will think that they are punishing one tribe no.Clean and balance when recruiting people.Favouritism and Nepotism should not happen again in our country, future leaders and current ones should understand that.
Malawians must indeed do a soul search. This is happening not only at MRA.
Why is it that the whole Judiciary including messengers is filled by Northerners?
Why do we have all workers of Northern Region Water Board coming from the North. None, literally none, is from Kasungu and downwards.
At Malawi Stock Exchage nobody is from Kasungu and downwards.
In private sector it is worse. Chakwera must heal this country. It is polarised.
Iwe Analyst ndiwabodza kwabasi ndipo utseke manja ako ukulemberawo. Ngati ku NRWB and MSE sanakulembe ntchito coz you failed interviews that is none of anybody’s business asa.
Another thing anthunu, from centre going south mumakana kukagwira ntchito ku North mumati ndikutali and majority do not apply for vacancies from companies situated in the northern region ndiye mukufuna adzikunyengererani? Opanga short list adzichita kusaka pa mulu wa ma kalata kuti wapanga apply from centre or south ndi ndani? be reasonable please.
Now back to MRA story kkkkk.
Ndipo izizi zomati pa company pakangokhala bwana wa ku mpoto ndiye kuti olembedwa ntchito onse adzikhala akumpoto exposes you centrers and southerners. For how can one boss from the north sitting on a panel influence 2 or more from other regions on who should be picked? The reason you are not picked is because you did not do very well in the interview compared to the northerner counterpart or the Gods were not on your side ;).
And with the intermarriages are you sure those people with names like they are from the North really from the north? we have Kaundas, Chirwas, Gondwes, Tembos in the central and southern regions you can be amazed.
Finally on the judiciary, is Harry Potani is from the north?

Rosa Fatchi is a much feared woman at MRA and she is untouchable and very arrogant because she worked closely with Gertrude Muthalika and Chisale. People in the world mention men like Jack the Ripper, Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin etc. The evil in Rosa Fatchi at MRA can be equaled to such men. MRA needs to be cleaned up and work like professionals. Malawi can be a better place without such evil people. Like I said the capital hill is full of crap or cadets. The parastatals are full of evil men and women. NOCMA is one of them. When Mdeza and others were replaced with cadets NOCMA became an office of terror and only cadets filled the management positions. Please Chilima whip them. You know it much better and you used to reveal the evil that was in these organizations.
Please give us the list of all MRA staff and where they come from so that we appreciate this nepotism. Evidence not just gossip by some disgruntled employees.
malata kusefekatu uku matenda .

Hahahahha their job is to collect money for the government. Do they want another job description?
Banet Meke was untouchable during the reign of DPP this guy should be transferred to a remotest border post just to teach him a lesson!
This is propagander to turnish DPP image only.
Does dpp have an image that is not tarnished?
mwinithako
Cadet iwe unyunya maliseche akowotu, 99% of Parastatals CEO all come from lomwe-belt districts and u think this is OK? i mean 99% come cadet use ur head not ur battocks as u are called mwinithako lol
Fake fake fake
Do you know where ceos for the following companies come from?
Northern Region water board
Medical Council of Malawi
Cotton Council of Malawi
TEVETA
ADMARC
National construction industry Council of Malawi
National planning commission
Mzuzu University
Nurses and midwives Council of Malawi
The Malawi gaming board

Fire all the top bosses including all cadets. There was a lot of abuse. Sharing houses and employing their children and girlfriends. Investigate that lady Boss. She was untouchable. The same with macra and mera. Bring new blood everywhere.
