VP Chilima commits to  transparency, accountability on public funds: Malawi to host poor countries summit

1. Talk-talk.com

2. Let us stop our poor way of thinking. For starters, our country has rare earth deposits. How much do our public coffers benefit from our country having it. Know that developed countries are starting to realise that this is a very strategically important material. What have we done about this and which Malawian entity is mining these rare earth deposits?

   They should be strategically important to us also. These are jobs being exported.

3. @donda WA donda. Osamakhala ndi nsanje. The problem we are in requires proper and thoughtful solutions and not just firing pipo or hiring new personnel. In my view, let’s examine the whole system.. Do a functional review first. Do we need some of these positions? What staffing levels, job loading etc…. We may end up scrapping up some entirely and may be adding zina…… Then we look at prevailing technological advances. HOW DO WE BRING INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY INTO DEVELOPMENT PLANNING???? councils have huge gaps in usage of ICT systems. Why??? All developed countries are making use of ICT. We the under developed are turning away from this. Bwana donda, all am trying to show you is that let’s look at the big picture and not the trivials.

4. out of 23 comments there is only one positive comment. the rest ndi madandaulo ndi kunyoza coz of kuphya mtima kuti SKC words do not match his action. its a shame that we are going that way when SKC promised milknand honey. U see now, andale alipowa the best was kuazenga mlandu. anatinamiza. anaba bomali ndi mabodza. tinanyengeka ngati zizakhala bwino. lero taonani. koma iwe alemera kale. its very unfair zomwe zikuchitikazi. to make matters worse kukavomera kukhala headmaster wa maiko osauka ku nsonkhano. osakana bwanji. osabisala bwanji yanu ija.Ngati mumawerenga nyasa ndi ma comment ake na apa muzifunse kuti onsewa akwiyawa ndi amisala?

5. Please reform the district councils carefully, patiently, diligently, wisely, and quickly….. Looking at the way we are now, the district councils are a huge bottleneck to any form of national development leave along with the 2063 agenda. All that the public officers at these institutions know is stealing public money. One of the ways is to remove all directors (DPD, DPW, DF, DA – all) including DCs, start recruiting new young ambitious guys on new contract terms. Train them. Upgrade the DCDOs to District Development Officers (DDO) – remove the C for them to lead and coordinate district development planning and monitoring. Promote CDAs to Community Development officers (CDO) stationed at each Traditional Authority and let them report to the DDO’s. Let the CDOs team up with ward councillors and manage the affairs at that levels with Environmental Health officers, Education Advisors, Forestry, Social Welfare and many other sector staff who mark a presence in the communities. Build large offices for them including meeting halls, community centres etc. That’s where development planning will be more effective – I challenge you. Of course, you let plans to be consolidated at the district level. That’s what we would call reforms. Please note that we are not decentralised enough and that’s why the district councils feel they can embezzle public funds as they wish. By strengthening front-line staffing in the communities you are saying you are ready to uplift the rural masses. Thank You.

6. King of well known corrupt countries in africa.
   Shame on you mr mandevu

7. Amphawi akumane tsopano. Apange share m’mene umphawi ukuyendela m’mayiko mwawo, sad.

8. Chilima what kind of accountability are you talking about when 6.2 billion is misused at your own watch? Your lieutenants are failing to account for Dodma money and you want to tell fellow poor countries about transparency band accountability when you as number 2 on the Government protocol are silent on what’s happening in your own government??? That’s laughable!! Munkayankhula kwambiri pa campaign paja lero MCP ikungokutumani ngati Mwana. Matukutuku onse kutheratu

9. Despite all appeasement you gave us concerning accountability and transparency Mr Chilima , your achievements In the last 8 months on public sector reforms are not convincing, in fact rather poo! We as a Nation declined even on the corruption index! Holding meetings alone improves nothing! You have to implement. Don’t wait until there is more money stolen!

10. It’s not a matter of making commitments that is required of you VP but a matter of doing things which will reduce corruption in this country. “Talk talk” siitipindulira koma “doing doing”!!!!!

11. Poor country because of poor leadership simple as. I rest my case

    1. That’s very right, Poor countries due to poor leadership. All leaders from poor countries,, they all intend to look after their pockets, and they totally don’t care about what a poorest man, woman and children eat.

12. You’re right

13. Pls don’t make promises that you are not able to fulfil. Malawi will never be able to account for anything.

14. Koma zokhala leader wa mayiko osawuka zokhazo palibe chonyaditsa. Nkupusa ndi mnyozo. Kukhalila zopempha.

15. Zeze watulukako ku mmbindikiro anali iyeko. Zinthu zitaonongeka kale. Akufuna kutafuna za UN tsopano ati kulonjeza kuti sabanso. Chilingamo chimawawa koma kutiuziratu kuti maiko osauka. Akatipatsa ndalama tayesetsani kumanga zithu zooneka kumaso kwa anthu inu. Infrastructure very poor. Kodi ma city planners ndi ma Engineer samayenda kukaona maikona maiko anzanthu. Koma kumangoba ndalama ngati amanganso nyumba yooneka apa. Kwa chuluka mbulu ndithu nziko lanthu lino. Ndidyera kumangoba basi. Ndi uyu Zeze akuti aonetsetsa akunama akudya onse ife kumangoyimbira mmanja.

16. A country needs Patriots who are even willing to die for their country. In Malawi, there are no patriots in the civil service, the police, and probably very few in cabinet. Everyone just wants to steal for consumption, even the church leaders are corrupt. In such a scenario, you won’t get any development.

    How else do you explain people sharing more than 50% of money aimed to save lives from covid19?

17. Kod maesa atangoteng bom nuja
    chilim adal paliponse amat amapang
    za marform
    ndiy akutinso chanins

18. Mr Vice president with due respect. You are a hard working and sometimes and honest man we know, but you mean we have a system worthy mentioning in public? Its rotten from the head. unfortunately instead of correcting you are arresting those telling you the truth. Lets do it different this time.

19. Koma anzathu azunguwa mpaka kutiyika pa LEAST DEVELOPED? Nanga a dadi ankati afuna kuti MALAWI idzakhale ngati SINGAPORE pakutha kwa term yao adakakhala kuti adasankhidwa.?Koma andale athuwa mabodza.Taonani nanga mpaka msonkhano wa maiko otsalira.Whoever was rating us is a liar.We have gone beyond least to at list developed in population wise.

    1. Singapore kodi? Kikikikiiiiiii.

20. Black people we know nothing nothing will change we only know to claim that we know God but we are corrupt 🤣

21. Chair of Least developed countries. What a shame. To be a king of dogs does not mean that you are a lion. You remain a dog.We will not learn anything from our fellow poor countries, it’s better to be a messenger at the G7 meetings, where we can learn great things than to be chair of the poor.

    1. 👏👏

22. As you champion reforms on Government systems bwana vice president, please also look at ESCOM very critically. This is a monopoly state owned company koma imakhala ngati eni ake enieni ndiomwe omwe kutigwilira ntchitowo. They are not treating us fairly. Ukhoza kupanga report fault koma zimawatengela mpaka mwezi kuti adzakonze mwinanso kumafuna Ndalama yammanja. There is too much corruption at ESCOM bwana. They are not assisting us as Malawians.
    Another entity is the Industrial Relations Court, bwana case ikapita Ku court limeneli ikumatenga zaka zochuluka kuti ipangidwe conclude. Some could take even 10 years. Poor Malawians are dying before they obtain justice. Kofunikanso reform igwire ntchito kumeneku.

    1. True I am a victim 10 years no justice. They say have misplaced file pay 50,000 to find file.

    2. Ameneyu si bwana. Kuzolowera kulambira basi. Wake up

23. Government of Malawi has a ‘system’. And we will put another ‘system’ , tight financial management system to ensure tight financial management so that allowances ard paid on time. […good luck Mr Saulos Klaus Chilima. Good luck.]
