CHILIMA REFORMS: Detailed Summary: Review of Malawi Public Service Systems Report

Introduction

On February 19, 2021, President Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera appointed a Special Taskforce, chaired by Vice President Saulos Klaus Chilima, to review Malawi's public service systems focusing on allowances, procurement, and employment contracts. The goal was to recommend reforms for greater efficiency, effectiveness, and integrity, supporting the Malawi 2063 vision. The Taskforce also reviewed conditions of service and the overall structure of the public service. 

  Overall Observations

The Taskforce identified endemic abuses across allowances, procurement, and employment contracts, concluding that most control measures against wastage and abuse had collapsed. Key weaknesses included: Legal/Policy: Outdated, inadequate, and inconsistent laws (e.g., Public Service Act 1994, Malawi Public Service Regulations 1991). Systems/Procedures: Non-adherence, weak enforcement of rules and sanctions, lack of rewards for compliance. Human Capacity: Poor selection/deployment, lack of knowledge, ignoring procedures (like audit queries), weak performance management. Structures: Uncoordinated oversight, lack of a national body for harmonizing conditions, slow/partial devolution. ICT: Underutilization of Integrated Financial Management Information System, reliance on manual processes (allowances, procurement). Ethics: Moral decay, poor discipline, lack of integrity across the service. Equity: Remuneration disparities violating the principle of equal pay for work of equal value.

  

Key Findings and Recommendations by Area 

1. Allowances Problem: Allowances constitute a large part of the budget (Malawi Kwacha 79 Billion in 2019/20). Despite a 'clean wage' policy (2004), numerous allowances have created inequalities. Abuse is rampant, especially with subsistence allowances (Malawi Kwacha 33.7 Billion spent vs Malawi Kwacha 27.4 Billion approved in 2019/20). Billions lost through fraudulent claims (false travel, unauthorized activities, overlapping claims, unsigned receipts). Audit queries are largely ignored (only 1.5% of 908 internal audit queries resolved 2017-2020). Sitting allowances for Members of Parliament/staff amount to double payment for core duties. Parastatal board sitting allowances incentivize unnecessary meetings. Health worker 'Risk Allowance' is a double payment given existing 'Top-Up Allowance'.

  Recommendations: 

Local Travel: Implement a mandatory full-board system (direct payment to hotels) progressively from July 2021, replacing cash Daily Subsistence Allowance. Department of Human Resource Management and Development to negotiate government rates. Enforce 30-day payment of hotel invoices. Abolish illegal meal allowances for in-station meetings. External Travel: Abolish ad-hoc rate increases. Standardize rates based on destination costs (United Nations model) and make them uniform regardless of grade. Enforce limits on delegation size/duration. Strictly prohibit 'top-up' allowances for fully-funded trips. Sitting Allowances: Eliminate for Members of Parliament and Parliamentary staff. Replace per-meeting sitting allowances for Parastatal Boards with annual honoraria (paid quarterly). Stop Transport & Travel allowances for Ex-Officio board members using government vehicles/fuel. Parliament to budget for its own oversight visits, not rely on parastatals. Risk Allowance: Eliminate entirely. Address genuine profession-specific needs through conditions of service reviews. Accountability: Mandate immediate action on all outstanding audit queries by Controlling Officers within 30 days, with sanctions enforced by the Secretary to the President and Cabinet. Empower the Secretary to the Treasury (through Public Finance Management Act amendment) to surcharge officers personally liable for financial losses. Revive independent Audit Committees. Make action on audits a key performance indicator for Controlling Officers and the Secretary to the President and Cabinet. Appoint a permanent Auditor General immediately. 

2. Employment Contracts

Problem: Conflicts exist between the Public Service Act (Presidential appointment powers for Grade E+) and specific Parastatal Acts regarding hiring authority. Malawi Public Service Regulations (1991) is outdated. Poor enforcement of existing laws prevails. Political appointees (Personal Assistants, non-career diplomats) are often absorbed into the permanent civil service ("back-door entry"), demoralizing staff and politicizing the service. Some appointees are arbitrarily given higher grades without following procedures. Unqualified candidates are sometimes recruited, and procedures are flouted (ultra vires appointments, skipping interviews). Political influence, cronyism, and corruption affect recruitment. The practice of "warehousing" (deploying staff without assigning functions but paying them) exists. Recommendations: Legal Framework: Review and harmonize the Public Service Act, Malawi Public Service Regulations, and Parastatal Acts. Appointments in parastatals must follow their specific Act unless explicitly stated otherwise. Develop clear guidelines for Grade E+ recruitment. Political Appointees: Must not transition into the permanent civil service. Their contract length should align with their principal's term of office. Develop clear guidelines for implementing gender quotas (40/60) and hiring 'rare skills'. Irregularities: Terminate all irregular contracts (unqualified, unprocedural hires, political absorptions, post-retirement hires without approval) by June 2021. End "warehousing" immediately; use proper disciplinary or redundancy procedures. Resolve cases of redeployed officers within 3 months. Diplomats: Develop clear Malawi Public Service Regulations guidelines on eligibility, recruitment, and selection, aligning placements with foreign policy goals. Oversight: Establish a National Remuneration Directorate (under the recommended Public Service Commission) to harmonize pay/benefits across the entire public service. Conduct Human Resource audits across the service and act on findings.

  3. Conditions of Service 

Problem: Huge salary disparities exist, with the civil service paid significantly less than parastatals, violating 'equal pay for equal value'. Lowest civil service grades earn far below the basic needs basket (Grade R 61.5% below). Excessive vehicle (3500cc Prado for Grade C+) and fuel (500L/month) entitlements create massive costs (Malawi Kwacha 36.6 Billion purchase cost, Malawi Kwacha 4.07 Billion/year fuel) and wastage. Parastatals abuse vehicle disposal policies. Parastatal executives receive generous private school fees benefits, unavailable in the civil service. Performance management systems are largely dysfunctional and not linked to rewards/sanctions. Discipline has eroded due to poor enforcement and outdated regulations. Staff welfare systems (e.g., loan schemes) have collapsed. 

Recommendations: 

Salaries: Rationalize and harmonize across the public service. Raise lowest civil service pay towards the basic needs basket (phased, potentially using non-taxable housing/transport allowances). Freeze salaries in highest-paying parastatals. Review salaries against cost of living quarterly (via Public Service Commission). Ensure salaries are within approved scales (investigate Electricity Generation Company case). Vehicles/Fuel: Downgrade vehicle entitlements (e.g., Grade C to 2500cc like RAV4). Introduce a vehicle ownership loan scheme for Grade D and potentially lower grades. Reduce the number of vehicles for Ministers/Deputies/Grades A&B. Extend vehicle disposal period or increase buy-out price. Standardize fuel allowances. School Fees: Abolish the benefit entirely for executives in all public institutions (except diplomats posted abroad during their tour and transition period). Let current contracts expire. Systems: Enforce Performance Management rigorously, linking it to rewards/sanctions. Make it a key deliverable for Controlling Officers. Revamp disciplinary processes with clear manuals and strengthened committees. Re-establish staff welfare loan schemes (emergency, vehicle). Develop comprehensive welfare policies (health, work-life balance). Medical Scheme: Progressively roll out contributory medical cover to ALL civil servants, starting immediately with Grade I. 

  4. Procurement

Problem: The manual, paper-based system lacks transparency, enabling widespread malfeasance (fraud, corruption, collusion). Flawed processes include poor planning (bid slicing, under-budgeting), specifications tailored to favour suppliers, manipulation of evaluation criteria, abuse of single-sourcing, political interference, and awarding contracts to known poor performers. The 'lowest evaluated bid' principle often results in poor quality or abandoned projects. Government pays massively inflated prices. Multiple, confusing approval points (statutory: Public Procurement and Disposal Authority, Anti-Corruption Bureau; administrative: Office of the President and Cabinet, Government Contracting Unit, Ministry of Justice) cause delays and undermine Public Procurement and Disposal Authority's authority. Public Procurement and Disposal Authority lacks capacity (high vacancy rate). Consulting engineers lack accountability and sometimes collude with contractors. Framework agreements (e.g., Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association of Malawi Memorandum of Understanding) lead to exorbitant prices. Preferential procurement rules lack clarity. 

  Recommendations: 

Digitization: Expedite rollout of e-Procurement system nationwide, including e-marketplaces for price comparison. Awarding Criteria: Mandate inclusion of past performance. Replace 'lowest evaluated bid' with 'most economically advantageous bid' for complex procurements. Combat Malfeasance: Require disclosure of beneficial owners. Link Public Procurement and Disposal Authority/Registrar General/Malawi Revenue Authority systems. Develop and enforce use of market price indexes. Sanction collusion and overpricing. Terminate the Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association of Malawi Memorandum of Understanding immediately; use open competition with standard preference margins. Capacity & Planning: Upgrade procurement roles/grades within Ministries, Departments and Agencies. Fill all Public Procurement and Disposal Authority vacancies urgently. Enforce procurement planning aligned with budgets and the Public Sector Investment Programme. Ensure projects only start with full funding identified. Streamline Approvals: Remove administrative vetting layers (Office of the President and Cabinet, Government Contracting Unit role limited to contract support). Clarify Anti-Corruption Bureau's vetting role to avoid conflict with investigations. Resource Government Contracting Unit adequately for contract management support only. Withdraw circulars mandating specific suppliers/brands (e.g., Prado). Accountability: Hold consulting engineers professionally liable for substandard work (joint debarment with contractors). Public Procurement and Disposal Authority/National Construction Industry Council to regulate them better. Enforce strict sanctions (debarment, surcharge, prosecution) against officials and suppliers for misconduct. Intensify Public Procurement and Disposal Authority monitoring and post-reviews. 

  5. Restructuring the Public Service 

Problem: Lack of clear constitutional/legal definitions ("Government", "Public Service"). Secretary to the President and Cabinet's role as Head of the entire Public Service conflicts with the Constitution (only mentions Secretary to Cabinet) and Separation of Powers. No constitutional limits on the number of ministries, constituencies, or senior judges, leading to potential bloat and instability. Duplication and fragmentation of functions exist. Devolution is slow and incomplete. Governance of State-Owned Enterprises is weak (Department of Statutory Corporations relevance questioned, Reserve Bank of Malawi operates with excessive independence, inconsistent board structures). Political interference blurs lines between Ministers' policy/oversight roles and Principal Secretaries' administrative/implementation roles. 

  Recommendations:

Constitutional/Legal Clarity: Amend Constitution to clearly define "Government" and "Public Service". Establish an independent, overarching Public Service Commission responsible for harmonizing grading, remuneration, conditions, appointments, and discipline across the entire public service. Define Secretary to the President and Cabinet constitutionally as Head of the Civil Service only. Structure & Size: Introduce constitutional limits on the number of ministries (max 21 recommended), constituencies (max 200), and senior judges. Standardize definitions of ministry/department/division structures. Conduct a comprehensive functional review to eliminate duplication and align structure with Malawi 2063. System of Government: Hold a national conference and referendum to decide on the optimal system (presidential, parliamentary, hybrid) to address issues like Ministers serving as Members of Parliament. Stop assigning sitting judges to executive roles. Devolution: Fast-track complete devolution of functions, funding, assets, and Human Resource management to local authorities, making them the primary service delivery points. Central government to focus on policy, standards, Monitoring and Evaluation, and resource mobilization. State-Owned Enterprise Governance: Review the relevance of Department of Statutory Corporations. Standardize board appointments (competitive selection, independent chairs). Improve Reserve Bank of Malawi accountability (remove Public Finance Management Act exemption, review governance structure). Ensure all State-Owned Enterprises adhere to public finance laws. Roles: Amend Constitution/Public Service Act to clearly delineate Minister's role (policy formulation, direction, oversight) from Principal Secretary's role (chief executive: advising minister, implementation, day-to-day management). 

  Conclusion

The report proposes radical, systemic changes necessary to address the deep-seated dysfunction observed across Malawi's public service, affecting areas from daily allowances and procurement practices to employment conditions and the very structure of government. The success of these reforms hinges critically on several interconnected factors: Strong Political Will: This requires unwavering commitment from the highest levels of all three branches of government – the Executive, Legislature, and Judiciary. Leadership must set the example, accepting potential reductions in benefits (such as the proposed downgrading of vehicle entitlements for senior officials) and consistently enforcing sanctions against misconduct, even when politically sensitive. The recommendation to introduce performance appraisals for the Secretary to the President and Cabinet and even public participation in Ministerial appraisals underscores this need for top-down accountability. Comprehensive Legal Reforms: The foundation of the current dysfunction lies partly in outdated and inconsistent legislation. Implementing the recommendations necessitates significant legal changes, including amending the Constitution (to clarify definitions, establish the Public Service Commission, set limits on government size), updating the Public Service Act and Malawi Public Service Regulations, amending the Public Finance Management Act (e.g., to empower the Treasury to surcharge officials for losses), and harmonizing various Parastatal Acts. Without these legal underpinnings, reforms lack authority and enforceability. Improved Economic Performance Funded by Reduced Wastage: The report highlights billions lost through abuses – for instance, the Malawi Kwacha 7.08 billion in 'illegal allowances' noted in National Audit Office reports between 2010-2019, the estimated Malawi Kwacha 5.89 billion annual cost of executive school fees, or the potential Malawi Kwacha 46-50 billion in vehicle purchase savings over five years. Successfully curbing this wastage is not just an ethical imperative but an economic one. These recovered funds are essential to finance critical reforms like raising civil service salaries towards the basic needs basket and improving the provision of public services, thereby creating a virtuous cycle where better conditions reduce incentives for corruption. Buy-in from Public Servants and the Citizenry: Lasting change requires acceptance and participation from those within the system and those it serves. Clear, consistent communication is needed to explain why these reforms are vital, linking the identified abuses directly to poor service delivery and economic stagnation. Engaging public service unions, civil society organizations, and the media in monitoring implementation can build trust. Furthermore, fostering a culture change, as recommended through initiatives on ethics training in schools and the public service and identifying national champions for values, is crucial for embedding integrity long-term. Ultimately, addressing the identified weaknesses requires a coordinated, persistent effort across all these fronts. It demands confronting entrenched interests, overhauling outdated systems, and committing to transparency and accountability, demonstrating that ethical governance and efficient public service are the cornerstones for achieving the Malawi 2063 vision.

Malawi - 100 Reasons Not to Celebrate 'Independence'

Ah, 6 July. Another opportunity for Malawians to pretend to celebrate independence. At least now it's just the pretense, when Kamuzu ruled the land, it was like North Korea up in this place. You couldn’t even breathe lest the state and its regime thuggery deem you unpatriotic.

We shouldn’t be celebrating independence and here are some reasons why. In summary, we shouldn’t be celebrating because we are actually not independent. Let me explain:

I will not bother you with the figures, but we are deeply DEPENDENT on foreign aid. I don’t know of an election that we funded using our own money and at some point, 40 percent of our budget was funded by white people and that is still true now, I think.   

Malawi the shithole

We RELY on the world bank and EU and USAID for grants and loans. Forget that we totally mess up the money when we get it, like the time we took a huge loan from China to build a stadium which we cannot use or when we got huge loans to build toilets or that time, we got a loan and bought faulty tractors from India.

Look around now, with COVID running riot, we need the international community to give us vaccines. If the Global Fund and the Bill Gates of this world stopped funding our hospitals, deaths would spike tomorrow. Malawians get to go to hospital for free and get ART for free because of donors.

Malawians can spew out babies like rabbits because they know that the donors will step in with handouts of mosquito nets for their malaria, water treatment drugs and even essential drugs in case one of their seven babies gets sick.

Malawians

At some point the Norwegians were paying part of our doctor’s salaries and if you ever go to a health institution, it's Europe everywhere. From the Library at College of Medicine to cancer wards and machines that matter at our hospitals.

It is as if white people feel so guilty of being racist in the past that they give us all we need at the basic level.

Wouldn’t you agree that the ‘Independence’ day should instead be a day to thank white people for all they have done and keep doping to our undeserving shithole of a country?

Yes, I said shithole because when Donald Trump said it he was deemed racist, but as someone who comes from the poorest country and having lived in the high-density areas there, I can assure you, we do indeed live side by side with shit. We are shit. Go to Blantyre or Tsoka Market and see where they place the fish for sale or the water they use to clean your vegetables…but don’t worry, if at all cholera breaks out, aid flows in.

Talk of training, essential government personnel have to wait for Israel or the UK or the US to offer them training, otherwise government wouldn’t have its civil servants going for further studies.  In the end, we are always toeing the line of the donors because they dictate how we behave after attending their schools or using their funds to attain skills.

Talk of schools, when I was growing up all books were printed with help from Canada and when the primary schools became free, the costs were mostly pushed to, you guessed it, white people.

 

We use the English language in school and offices and to have any sort of status, you need to know English – that is not independence because it just so happens that English is the language of our former masters.

We cherish a good bottle of sprite; our music is American and our movies too. We cannot point to any genre as being Malawian and our dress our food is all heavily influenced from the outside, just like a dependent nation.

Our biggest cash crops are tobacco and tea all cater to demands in Europe. If white people say we don’t want to smoke, we have no economy, if white people say we want to buy it at 1 dollar per kilo, we also have no choice. As such we are dependent not the other way round.

All Goes in Malawi

The same goes for the other part of the economy, we use the SWIFT system, have to buy oil in dollars and we cannot even ban the sale of second-hand clothes that choke local manufacturing capacity lest we anger the Americans. We are dependent.

While we export seeds and leaves, we import everything else from paint to sofas to radios even if the wood that was used to make the sofas is from right here. And that is a classic case of dependence, my people.

The technology is all foreign, we cannot even make toothpicks around here, if Google says it's blocking Malawi, we will be stuck with Bing and the list goes on. We are dependent, I said.

What is Malawian philosophy? What great theory has come out of Malawi so far? See? We are humanists, democrats, and we love Jesus and Muhammad and most of our local myths are based on Sophocles or Aesop. That is dependence because the Indians will tell you tales of Shiva and The Persians and Arabs will quote from their history and we have nothing. It's why we try hard to make some people like Kamuzu appear heroic when they are really just despots.

We love and need European Aid 

Our government is based on Greek texts and dictated to us by white folk and most treaties we sign and adhere to are all minted in white boardrooms.

What are we free to do? How independent are we? Independent from who? From What? Britain? Our biggest donor? The giver of English? The prime destination for our doctors? The owners of the CCAP churches?

 So, lets gather in our hootenannies and thank the white man for all he has and keeps doing, what would we be without him and on this day, let us celebrate our dependence without making it ironic.

Chewas think they made it in life

 The Chewa Heritage Foundation is looking for Chewa CVs. NonChewas need not apply! They want to see which Chewas have skills, you know, there might be some vacancies that might need a Chewa candidate in the Tonse future.

Though they are frantically trying to walk away from the release, two journalists have authenticated the release. They can deny it all they want; it is only because of the furore.

Nyau -Gold Standard of  'Malawian Culture'

We love our Chewa brothers, the history of Malawi is in part the history of the Chewas, but someone needs to call them out on their never-ending tribal myopia and mania.

Chewas came to Malawi in the 1500s, they found this land occupied by short people who they called Akafula. They brutally murdered them in what can be argued as the first ever genocide. I say this to highlight the fact that they should know that they came here from elsewhere, just like the rest of us. The only people who were here before history, we killed them all.

Chewas by and large learned how to trade and live with others and endure modern problems such as slavery and colonialism together. From Chilembwe to Yatuta Chisiza, Malawians of all tribal calling stood up until they took down white rule.

As soon as the country won the war over colonial rule, however, Chewacentrism reared its ugly head. Kamuzu was put at the centre of Malawi and his policies were to be Chewacentric. Malawians have never had a frank discussion on how tribal thought gave us that dictator.

He moved the capital from Zomba to a dusty patch close to his tribal homeland, he filled government positions with his tribesmen. The ‘new‘ country was to be named after their kingdom and while that was only fair since they were/are the dominant group, they started pushing it.

The Shameless Release

Tumbuka, among other tribal languages, was taught in schools, they stopped it, they held book-burning sessions just like the dark ages or Mao’s Cultural Revolution.

They did not want teachers from the north, so they sent them packing and forcibly transferred them away from the Chewa heartland.

Quota System was first implemented by a heavily Chewanised administration. People had to change names to make them sound Chewa to make it in life.

They made their tribal language the national language and set up a Chichewa Board at Chancellor College, funnelled money into developing their language. Even Yao children grew up learning ‘Maliro ndi Miyambo ya a Chewa’ as if they didn’t have their own rites. You see. they justify it as trying to promote national unity, but notice how they only want others to erase their identities and adopt theirs. Strange unity, this.

Just like before, Malawians of all calling banded together to fight the Chewacentric MCP tyranny. People lost their lives and some families will never be whole again because they stuck their neck out and dared a Chewa backed Kamuzu. Malawi won.

For the record, Most Chewas voted against multiparty politics in the early 90s, they also overwhelmingly voted for MCP in the following general elections - meaning to say - they wanted Kamuzu Banda to stay on.

As a matter of fact, no matter what any other candidate says, the Chewa block always largely votes MCP nonetheless. They are a tribal cabal by definition.

When the Mutharika dynasty rose up and plunged Malawi into another sunken phase, Malawians rose up again from Timothy Mtambo, who can barely speak Chichewa, to Winiko. Malawi rose up again and won.

As soon as MCP got back in power, it seems the old thinking still exists.

Many people are comparing the latest move by the Chewa body to Mhlakho wa Ahlomwe, they are wrong. What the Lhomwe were doing was just them trying to do what the Chewas started back in the Kamuzu days. The Chewa wrote the tribalism book.

So, what do we do now? Well, Chewas will not change in our lifetimes, they are always going to feel like the rest of us are deputy Malawians, after all we speak their language, when one googles ‘Malawian culture,’ their Nyau comes up. Let them be, the solution to the folly lies in two things that you might not be thinking of: A strong UTM and 50+1!

As soon as they try to make Malawi a Chewa project, UTM should get out of the Tonse Alliance and band with another party that will starve them of the votes needed to make government in the 50+1 system. Let them be MCP/Chewa and let them face the rest of the country at the ballot.

Maybe it is a mistake to pretend that they are superior. Maybe it is time someone got an injunction against teaching Chichewa to nonChewa people. Maybe it is time we made all languages in Malawi official.

Give us dictatorship - Chewa voting patterns in 93 Referendum

You see a Chewa man can live in Nkhatabay for forty years and not even learn the local language because they feel others must bow to their culture. When someone speaks Chichewa with Yao or Lhomwe accent they also get laughed at because you see, you can never be Chewa if you are not.

Time to end the hegemony. If they want a kingdom, we can split up the country, it's not like we would mind not being in the same country with our Nyau-wearing, rat-eating neighbours. What will we lose?  

If they feel this is their country, then we can let them have it. 

The truth is, Chewa districts harbour some of the poorest Malawians, if you go to Nsundwe it's not uncommon for Nyau to raid a market and take other people's property, they also harbour some of the biggest illiterate folk and we saw how they needed a whole 21 point to enter college under quota. 

Instead of trying to band with the rest of the country to uplift the nation and make it better, they don't want to leave their 1800 thought behind. Some are very proud to be ignorant and the entitlement of some is sickening. They behave as if everyone in Lilongwe or government should pay homage to the Chewa landowners and kings. 

Politicians love them poor, ignorant. They lionize Kamuzu Banda and make them blindly vote MCP because they are promised entitlement. They believe that they need to be fed and petted like precious dogs. 

Someone had to say it.

Maneb Boss Arrest Either Historic or Dangerous

 Look, I am all for this: if public officials are to be arrested for doing a bad job, then let's goooooo! It is however strange that of all the public officers that have been doing bad jobs it seems only one person has been arrested and that is kind of weird to be honest.

Before you continue, This commentary is written with the assumption that you are aware of the arrest of the suspended MANEB chief. See here if you are unupdated

The soon to be former MANEB boss, Gerald Chiunda, was everything one hates in a public officer. If you read audit reports from MANEB when he was there you will see how he flouted procurement procedures, how MANEB promoted and recruited people without proper procedure.

Chiunda - No Angel, but...

Some people at MANEB actually allege that they were entrapped and then fired in the most DPP way possible while Chiunda was there.

The list is long, to be honest, there are so many things that make me happy to see the guy behind bars, but the charge sheet of the crime he is currently charged with is really curious to be honest.

Here is how Jarson Malowa of Times reported the story yesterday:

‘Suspended Malawi National Examinations Board (Maneb) Executive Director, Gerald Chiunda, will remain in custody after the Senior Resident Magistrate (SRM) Court in Zomba reserved its ruling on bail application until next Tuesday, February 9, 2021.

The other three accused are the board's Head of Security, Owen Khuntho, Chief Examinations Development Officer and Chief Examinations Security Officer, Ishmael Faki and Joseph Chilombe, respectively.

The four were arrested on allegations that they failed to exercise due care and attention in relation to the security of national examination materials.

The case is related to the leakage of 2020 Malawi School Certificate of Education (MSCE) examinations.

They both deny the charges leveled against them.’

So here are the important basics:

MANEB has been shit lately and under Chiunda. Chiunda is suspended. He is not accused of leaking the exams, but not being careful enough to prevent the leak. He is at the time of writing this in jail awaiting his bail application.

Cool. Firstly, is this really something that he has to be kept in jail over? What would he do if he was at home? Allow more leaks? He is suspended for Christ’s sake!

That is not even my biggest issue with the arrest of this guy, the issue is that why are the arrests of bad office holders starting only now?

Who at the Reserve Bank has been arrested for the billions that have been stolen? Which jail holds the guy who oversaw the coffers have billions get stolen during the Cash Gate years?

Why have police chiefs not been arrested for crimes that saw civilians die in their custody or during demonstrations such as those of 20 July?

Who has been arrested at Road Traffic for the fake licenses that get issued to motorists who go on to cause accidents on the roads?

When hospitals run out of medicines and people die, I don’t see any doctors or anyone from the Medical Stores or Ministry of Health being arrested for it?

What about the guys that blew the COVID money where are the arrest warrants?

Our soccer national team is also losing too many matches and wasting billions, who needs to get arrested?

The most glaring example being MEC. A whole court found them incompetent. They wasted money on foreign lawyers and kept grandstanding until the costs to the taxpayers hit billions. Why was Ansah not arrested? Why is Sangwani Mwafulirwa not in Jail?

Remember when they got a loan to buy shitty tractors from India and then all they did was made to apologize?

You get the picture, it seems this Chiunda guy, as much as he sucks is being targeted for political ends. The government seems to be looking for a way to show the nation that it is in control even though the leak happened under them.

If we are going to hold public officials criminally liable, let's do it, but let’s do it across the board and let’s put the phrases in the contracts of these men and also not forget to clarify the law to the public.

Where in the Penal Code is what crime, people need to know, and if they know, they should be able to tell why people at ESCOM can waste money and enter into shitty deals that drain public coffers and yet not get arrested.

People need to know how, for example, Peter Mutharika used government money to buy buses for private teams and lied about it and yet never even get to attend a hearing on it.

Something is not right. The arrest of Chiunda is either an historic milestone or it is symptomatic of something very sinister.

Wanthu wanyake wali kutolana kwa vyaka 50 kweni wandampulikepo muoli wawo akunya vishuli, chomene chomene pa chibwezi, pagulu, kunthito na pagulu vishuli nivyakupokeleleka chara. Kweni ivi vili nthena chifukwa tawanthu tikujipusika kuti ndise wakupambana na vinyama.

Unenesho wake ngwakuti tose tina pamsundu. Tose tikunya mavi. Tose tikunya vishuli. Tose tikuvikelula.

Vishuli tikamba kuving’ola nikale. Pythagoras yula wakatipa Pythagoras theorem ku Samuzi akati wati uyo wakutemwa kunya vishuli akufwa lubiro. Iyo akatenge wati pala imwe mukulya ntchunga imwe, by eating beans, you could fart your soul out and die.

Benjamin Franklin, uyo nimunthu wakutumbikika mu mbiri ya Amerika – mpaka mwahunu pano ali pa Ndalama yaku America- nayo akayoyowapo vya vishuli. Akalemba kalata kuluta ku wupu wa ma Scientists yaku Europe. Kalatya yakhe akayichema ‘Fart Proudly’ - ‘Nyani Vishuli Mwakufwasa.’ Mukalata iyi iyo akadandaula kuti vishuli wanthu wakuvitinkha ndipo akasachizya kuti wanthu wa vyasayansi wasange munkhwala wakuti wanthu walyenge kumoza na chakulya kuti palawakunya vishuli viwenge ngati perfume kweninso vyambula kutinkhika.

Mankhwala agha ghandasangike mpaka mwahuno kweni vikate viwenge vyakusekesha kuti munyakhe ayasangenge. Mpha kuli ma flavour ya vishuli mmaminibus. Wanthu wa Ndalama mpha wakunya vishuli vya Vanilla na mafungo yakudula.

Kweni ine nkhukola mazgo ya mufalansa yunji zina lake Michel De Montaigne. Michel Di Montaigne wakalemba mu buku lakhe kuti:  On the highest throne in the world, we are seated, still, upon our arses.’ And, lest we forget: ‘Kings and philosophers shit, and so do ladies.’

Michel wakayowopaso za St. Augustine, mmoza mwa wanthu awo wakambisha ma tchalitchi pachalo, Augustine akalembapo za munthu yumo uyo akanyanga vishuli apo wakhumbila, na munyakhe uyo akanyanga vishuli nga lusumu.

Di Montaigne wakutichisya kuti tileke kopa kunya vishuli, ndise vinyama, tikulya, tikunya.

Nanga uli akuyowoya ntheura De Montaigne, ndise wanthu wamahara, kweniso research yinyakhe yili kusanga kuti mu vishuli mukuwa tuvibungu tula twa bacteria tula. Sono ni betele kuti pagulu or pafupi navyakulya tinganyanga vishuli bwekabweka chara.

Kweni pala tanya mwasoka, kopa yayi, yowoyani waka kachizungu kakuti ‘excuse me’ kuti mugule visa...or pala mungamanya, waphalirani wanyinu awo za De Montaigne.

Pali vishuli vinu vyalutilizya unandi lutani ku Chipatala, ingawa colon câncer iyo yikupangisha vishuli ninandi mwakulutizga.

Waphalirani wa neba winu, neba, uli na msundu – neba, ukunya vishuli nga ine!

 

 

Chinese Exploiting Malawian Kids in Racist/Humiliating Videos Sold for Thousands in China

Malawian kids being exploited by Chinese

Those kids you see in the wildly popular video being made to shout ‘I am a Nigger with Low IQ!’  by some Chinese guy might be from Malawi and it is time we stopped that type of behaviour.

That video is just one you heard of, there are others of Chinese putting black boys sitting their laps and making them curse in Mandarin. There are is another of a Chinese man making fun of the lip-pulling tribal woman of Ethiopia by trying to kiss them.

An advert selling 'kids' services' on Weibo

A simple search on the Chinese copy-cat of Twitter, Weibo, gives thousands of hits of such videos, they have been in circulation in China for years. I tracked down one such page (非洲小花妞祝福视频拍摄) roughly translated as ‘African little girls singing blessings.’

Chinese looking to spice up their birthdays or looking to impress their girlfriends with black skin - a rare, feared, hated and often misunderstood thing – cough between MWK5000 and MWK50,000 for a customized one.

Deals are made on Wechat

Once the money is in, the Chinese on the ground in Africa invites a group of unsuspecting black people, usually young men, children, and mothers from rural and semi-rural areas for the shoot. They are dressed up, sometimes in Chinese attire and made to parrot some phrases in Mandarin while goofily dancing or posing.

The video is then dispatched to the happy customer who posts it on social media for friends to awe and ask how black monkeys from the Savannah got to sing happy birthday to them by name.

Remember, all these videos are being posted and transacted on WeChat, QQ and Weibo, where police come to your door if you post political opinions authorities don’t like. The fact that these videos are freely floating on there - you can draw your own conclusions.

Ad on Weibo: African bodies = Money in China

To convince the communities, these Chinese men buy snacks and ‘donate’ and pretend to be doing philanthropy.

This is happening in Zimbabwe, Zambia and Malawi. The products that were ‘donated’ there and ones that appear in their online picture catalogues are in line with the products you can find in the said countries. 

According to this highlighted videographer, these kids and mothers are Malawian and the young men are Zimbabwean and you young women are from Zambia. There is even a service from Egypt and Ukraine.

In a blog post defending this Blaxploitation, the vendors claim their ventures have ‘greatly improved the conditions’ of the places they shoot from and that they donate food and money that is ‘more than what the parents earn.’ See here (link in Chinese).

The page also denies they make the kids parrot insults and rejected the video of the kids parroting self-insulting chants.

But look here, folks, just like on the tobacco estates, if the kids are earning it is child labour, if the kids are being used to make earnings for someone else, it is child exploitation. So why the fuck are these fuckers not in some jail?

Jokes: The so-called Donations

These people are being left with kids alone sometimes indoors, do we know if child porn is also being demanded by some pervs in Asia?

Does it look like a donation to you if the donor demands you wear some fake silk dress and chant like you are in a Kungfu movie before you can collect your ‘donation’?

In China there are 1.4 billion people there, these guys make thousands of videos and that translates to millions on money, no wonder they are now expanding to the Middle East and Eastern Europe to get brown and white monkeys to dance for Chinese audiences too.

Dressed like crowns and exploited- Zim Youths

This particular page, by his own admission, has produced over 100,000 videos, you can imagine the amount of money being made. 

If you conclude that this is acceptable, then cool…if not then the Chinese that are filming these videos around the Njewa Area in Lilongwe and other areas in Malawi need to be warned off it or maybe brought in for ‘a talk.’

In any case, if there is going to be a donation, let it be a donation, because the videos make a lot of money and they should not be hidden behind 'charity.' In the caption accompanying the picture below, the vendor said buy his video so his mother can afford some rice.

I'm happy, informed and totally understand consent!

The opening up of the country to China should not include uncultured, racist and exploitative elements like these.

Some that feature in ads are not even 2

This guy and his click in Malawi need to get got

Just look at the video below of a Chinese boomer putting a kid on his lap and making him say the worst curse words you can find in the Chinese dictionary.

I hope the media, the Chinese and Malawian authority and anyone who can read will make sure not another video like that is made again from Malawi or Zambia or Zimbabwe. The people don't know what they are talking about and the fact that some videos are being made that are humiliating and criminal means the whole enterprise is suspect. 

Mbolo Yabwinobwinoyo Mukuyibudulilanji?

Musatengeke ndi a ma bungwe onyenga, mdulidwe  utha kuonongerani mbolo ndi kuthekera kwanu pogonana ndi okondedwa anu, utha kukupangitsani kutenga HIV ndi zina zambiri. Tiyeni tiganize limodzi.

Nkhani iyi ndi nkhani yovuta, nkhani ya mdulidweyi akuyikamba ndikuyipititsa patsogolo ndi mabungwe amphamvu monga WHO (UNAIDS) komanso a boma la America.

Mu 2007 bungwe la WHO linagwrizana zomema mayiko onse omwe ali ndi anthu ambiri  omwe ali ndi HIV komanso omwe amuna ambiri sanadulidwe kuti atero. Mwa Amalawi 10 ali onse awiri okha anali odulitsa (80%) mu 2011. Onani apa zankhaniyi.

Koma inu mwina nkufunsa kodi HIV ndi Mdulidwe zikugwirizana pati?

Mu 2007 a WHO ndi UNAIDS anayamba kuuza madotolo kuti mdulidwe uphatikizidwepo pa ndondomeko zogonjestera matenda a HIV. Anayesa izi ku malo atatu: Kisumu, Kenya; Rakai, Uganda ndi ku Orange Farm, South Africa. Mwa omwe anayesedwa anapeza kuti mdulidwe umachepetsa tsoka lotenga HIV ndi thekha (60%).

Atapitakonso ku Uganda kuja mwapompano anakapeza kuti mdulidwe unachepetsa kutenga HIV ndi 73%. Onani apa. Anthu ena amati kafukufukuyu anali wofooka/wosadalilika.

Azasayansi mkafukufuku wawo akuti anapeza kuti mwa anthu 10 ali onse, 7 kapena 8 amatenga HIV pogonana. Akuti kuchikopa cha mbolo chakusogolo chija kuli tithu tina take (CD4 ndi CCR5) tomwe HIV imakakamirako ikakhuzana nato. Tinthuti timapezekanso mkati mwa ntumbo kwa omwe mumagona ndi amuna anzanuni. (Langerhans' cells, and dendritic cells—in the genital and rectal mucosa.) Werengani apa

Nkhani yabwinotu iyi, kukhala ngati. Koma ndiye kunaponyedwa zindalama: $1.5 billion, mukuziwa kuti ndindalama zingati zimenezo? Ndi 1,102,500,000,000.00 Malawian Kwacha! Yonseyo kuti zikopa za mbolo za anthu a kumwera kwa Africa zidulidwe. 

Amafuna kudula mbolo 21 million ndipo akuti kutere kupangitsa US$16.5 billion izapulumutsidwa kamba koti mmalo mopereka mwankwala ndi chithandizo kwa anthu odwala Edzi kuzachepetsedwa.  Onani apa.

Kufika mu Chaka cha 2017 anali atadula mbolo 18 million, ndikhulupilira pano zinafika 21 million ankayifunayo.

Ndatitu kunakhuthulidwa zimakobiri, kuzipatala, kuma nyuzi komanso kuma bungwe mu 2013 nane ndinayankhulapo za nkhani iyi.  Koma kodi izizi nzofunika? Kodi tinaganiza mokuya za nkhani ya mdulidweyi?  Ine maganizo anga ngosiyaniranako pang’ono ndi a madolowa.

Ganizani mwakuya

Mungadye niple? 

Mutati mwalowa mchipinda, mchipinda mmenemo nkukhala azimayi abwino, okongola 10...azimayiwo ndikunena kuti mwa anthu tenife 6 tilibe HIV folo ali nayo, sankhani mmodzi mwa ife mugone naye puleni. Olo atati munali ndi njala ya zaka 7, mbolo yanuyo singadzuke nkomwe.

Umutu ndi mmene a UNAIDS ndi WHO akuganiziratu.

Chachiwiri mayiko ena monga Ethiopia kapena Egypt amadula ka nyemba ka ku nyini kwa azimayi, cholinga kuti ati azimayi asamve kukoma pogonana komanso asaganize za kugonana… ma report ena amanena kuti mwa azimayi 10 alione aku Egypt, 8 alibe kanyemba kaja, makolo awo anadula. Nkani yoopsa kwabasi, a UN ndi mabungwe ali pakalikiliki kuthetsa mchitidwewu, ku mangalande makolo ena anamangidwapo ata dula nyemba za ana awo aakazi. Akuti kutero nkuphwanya ufulu wa azimayi, komanso kuvulaza ana, komanso ana osakwana zaka 18 amakhala asanakhwime maganizo mokwanila kuti avomeleze izizi.

Ku South Africa, Children’s Act yawo ya 2005 imaletsa kudula mbolo za ana osakwana zaka 16 kupatula asilamu kapena za ku mtundu.

Nanga ana athu akudulidwa mbolo kunowa akudziwa chomwa akuchita? Ndikukhala ku Kawale ndimakhala ndi ma cousin anga omwe tsiku lina anabwera kunyumba atadulidwa. Kodi dziko lino li ndi malamulo? Zikusiyana pati kudula mbolo za amuna ndi kudula nyemba za atsikana?

Nkani yayikulu yina ndi kupanda umboni kwa anzathu amene amapanga zimeneziwa.

Atafunsa anthu ku zambia, 94% anati akufuna adulitse kuti asatenge matenda opatsilana pogonana. Ku Nyanza Province, Kenya, 55%  ya amuna amati iwo amakhulupirira kuti akazi amakonda kuchindidwa ndi amuna odulidwa. Akazi aku Nyanzako, ena oti sanachindanepo ndi mwamuna odulidwa amakhulupilira kuti mamuna odulidwa amachinda ngati porn star.

Kumalawi kuno mu kafukufuku wawo a Ngalande ndi anzawo nawo anapeza kuti amauna amafuna mdulidwe chifukwa amafuna kukhala ma Tchale pogonana komanso chifukwa amafuna ataziteteza kumatenda.

Pankhani iyi tichedwepo, mu kafuku wa A Munthali ndi azungu ena awari omwe adapanga ku Zomba adapeza kuti: Anthu omwe adalandira uthenga wa kuopsa kwa HIV anachepetsa uhule, izi sizinatengele kuti ndiodulidwa kapena ayi.

Komano amuna ambiri (50%) anauza a Munthali ndi anzawo kuti anthu odulidwa sangapereke matenda kwa azimayi. Azimayi (80%) nawonso anali ndi zikhulupiliro za bozdzazi zoti mwamuna wodulidwa sangapereke HIV. Werengani apa.

Mwina simunamve bwinobwinotu anthuwa akadulidwa akumaganiza kuti sangatenge ndikupereka  HIV. Simukutha kuoona kuti anthu odulidwa akuwaza ma puleni ambiri kunjaku?

Chinanso ndi ichi: Anthu ambiri amene akutenga ndikupereka HIV ku Malawi siakumidzi, si osaphunzira…komanso si ana…HIV yambiri yili mwa anthu amene adapitilira ndi ma phunziro. Ilinso kwambiri pakati pa anthu okwatira. Onani apa

Data ikunena zina

HIV ilinso kwambiri mwa anthu amene ali ndi ndalama. Kwa ine Ndalama ndi yimene ikupangitsa anthu ambiri kuti atenge matendawa chifukwa mahule ndi atsikana amakhala ophweka ndi ndalama mmene tidziwira Malawi muja. (Kumbukirani: mukakumana ndi mahule awiri ku Malawi, mmodzi wawo ali ndi HIV).

Zodabwitsa

Chodabwitsanso nchoti anthu amene miyambo yawo yimapanga kale mdulidwe ndiamenenso alinso ndi HIV yambiri: kum’mwera kwa Malawi cha ku Zomba ndi Mangochi kusiyana ndi anthu omwe sayelekedza nkomwe kudula mbolo zawo monga aku Chitipa.  Izi zikukuuzani chani?

Kupatula kuziletsa palibe chimateteza munthu ku HIV kuposa kondomu (98%).  Mmalo momema anthu kuti agwiritse ntchito ma kondomu nthawi zonwe, mmalo moyika ndalama zambiri mma kondomu nchifukwa chani ma billion akupita ku mdulidwe? Mchaka cha 2017, Malawi imasoweka makondomu 19 million. Nchifukwa chani amabungwe ali kalikiliki ndi mdulidwe pomwe njira yabwino koposa akuyinyala?

Izi ndizimene Van Howe ndi Mzake anapeza mukafukufuku wawo, iwo anapeza kuti mdulidwe utha kupititsa pastogolo HIV kwathu kuno. Iwo anati mdulidwe ukutenga ndalama zofunikira pomwe zipatso zake nzochepa. Van Howe anati kupanga mdulidwe umodzi umatenga ndalama zokwana zogulira ma condom 3000. Werengani apa ndi penanso apa.

Inayamba kutsika kale HIV

Chinanso ndi ichi, padziko lonse lapansi anthu amene akutenga HIV pachaka akucheperachepera, inde ngakhale kumalawi kuno anthu pafupifupi 50 thousand amatenga matendawa pachaka, komabe, zinthu zikusintha.

Program ya dziko la américa ya Pepfar mwina pano yadya 100 billion dollars, koma nanga nchifukwa chani anthu sakusintha machitidwe? Mwina apa mumvapo zifukwa koma kwa ine nkhani ndi ija ya ndalama. Kwa anthu osaukafe tikapeza ndalama timafuna tipange zinthu zimene sitinkapanga tili osauka: Kunyenga akazi ambiri/ okongola/odula. Komanso ma program a Pepfar ndi a tchalichi amangolimbikitsa kupewa komanso safikira ma hule ndi ma geyi zonsezi zikupangitsa kupita patsogolo HIV.

Ena nkumati ati anthu odulidwa amakhala aukhondo, ndikukumbukira nthawi imeneyo a Zodiak atalandila zimpukutu za ndalama ankayikoka nkhani iyiyi, kodi onunkha mkamwa timawadula milomo? Onunkha kunkhwapa adulidwe manja? Nanga tikuduliranji chikopa cha mbolo ponamizila ukhondo?

Umaoneka dolo ukamapanga mdulidwe, koma amuna ambiri akudandaula ndipo ena akuvutika/ kuononga ndalama zankhaninkhani  kubwezeretsa kachikopa ka ku tsogolo kwamboloko.

Mukadulidwa, kutsogolo kwambolo kumauma, kumachita kuda bii, anthu amati amuna odulidwa amatha kuchinda chifukwa choti amatenga nthawi asanawazire kamba koti mbolo yawo imafunika kuthentha kwambiri kuti imve kukoma. Koma nanga muzapanga izi mpaka liti? Nkana anthu awawa akumawaza ma plain chifukwa mbolo yoguga mkondomu nde mbola.

Kachikopako kamatetedza mbolo, madala. Mukamayenda malaya amayikwecha mbolo. Mukadula mboloyo muzabunyula bwanji poti pobunyula timasuntha kachikopako?

Komanso musayiwale kuti ku kachikopako kuli ma eliyolo (nerve-endings) migolomigolo amene amathandiza kuti tiyimve kukoma gemu. Kudula kachikopako zili ngati kumudula kongo mzimayi – mwamupha.

Anthu ena akadulidwa amakanika kuyidzutsa mbolo, ena amadzipha, ana ena amafa, ena amapunduka, komanso ena moyo wawo onse umaonongeka, mutha kukhala inu.

Yang’anani kuno madala, ngati mumatha kuwerenga, ngati munamaliza form folo, ngati muli shasha, ngati muli ndi phoni ya tachi, kodi mpakana mukufunika azungu apereke ma billion nkukukudulani mbolo chifukwa choti inuyo panokha simumatha kugwiritsa ntchito kondomu?

 Mwaonatu? Akukutengani ngati okanika, opanda nzeru, akuti inuyo mumakonda puleni ndipo kuti mwina akutetezeni mwina akuduleni kakutsogoloko. Zoona madala?

Kodi momwe ku Russia HIV ikukwereramo a UN apita kukawadula mbolo kumenekonso kapena izizi nza anthu osauka, akuda, osaphunzirafe?

Ku America anthu ambiri anadulidwa (80%?) ndi chikhalidwe chawo, mdulidwe kwa iwo uli ngati hamala, akufuna msomali. Msomali anaupeza kuno, anabwera akuziwa kuti akufuna chani, sanafunse munthu anangoyamba zawozo. Inu werengani apa kuti muone mabodza aanthuwa.

99 pelecenti iyi

Ngati mumatha kuwerenga, simufunika kudula mbolo yabwinobwinoyo, pezani kondomu musanayiviyike, kayedzetseni ndi okondedwa anu ngati inuyo puleni mwayifunisisa.

Tikufalitsa matenda ndife anthu ophunzirafe. Okwatiwafe. Andalamafe. Anthu okhala ndi ma foni a intanetife. Ngati akufuna kuthetsa HIV, ayambe mdulidwe wa anthufe, koma ine maganizo anga ndiakuti, anthufe timadziwa kale zomwe tingachite kuti tithetse HIV, tisapangitse ana ndi anthu akumidzi kupundulidwa kumoyo ponamizila HIV.

Sitikukana, anthu ena odulidwa amatha kusatenga HIV, koma kupanga mdulidwe ku mayiko oti HIV ili paliponse, komwenso anthu ngosauka ndiponso osaphunzira kukungolimbikitsa anthu kunyenga ma puleni. Tiyeni tipange zama uthenga ndi makondomu, ndalama musadyere pamutu pa anthu osaziwa.
