Tumbuka chief Chikulamayembe calls for stiffer penalties for corruption
Tumbuka Paramount Chief Chikulamayembe has called for stiffer penalties for persons convicted of corruption in Malawi.
Paramount Chief Chikulamayembe says one of the main factors fueling corruption in the civil service is that convicts are getting too lenient sentences for stealing public money.
“Corruption yakwera chomene… anthu akutola ndalama zaboma… chalo chanangika. (Corruption has risen tremendously and people are stealing government’s money. The country is rotten),” said Paramount Chikulamayembe demanding prompt action.
Chikulamayembe was speaking when he welcomed President Peter Mutharika at Bolero in Rumphi on Thursday.
Commenting on President Mutharika’s performance, Chikulamayembe, who is famed for frank talk told the gathering that he was impressed

President Mutharika is in Rumphi to launch the Rumphi—Nyika —Chiweta road.

We used to sing “follow the leader” during my primary school days. I guess this is… Read more »
Themba la Mathemba Chikulamayembe was in no way endorsing Mutharika for a second term. Reading the article between lines he first condemned corruption that it has escalated during mutharika reign. all malawians are aware that mutharika is entangled in corruption. He actually condemned him as well. That is how wise chiefs speak

Agogo Chikulamayembe, Thanks a lot for condemning corruption your words are powerful. I would wish if you could go further to condemn Catholic Priests also since one of them took part in the killing of the albino by the name of Masambuka
