President Peter Mutharika has said that he will not take any action against minister of agriculture George Chaponda over the maize scam until the newly appointed commission of inquiry completes its findings.
Chaponda and CEO of Admarc Foster Mulumbe have been accused of using a company that acted as middleman when purchasing maize from Zambia in order to steal from Malawians
Speaking in Lilongwe during swearing in of Information Minister Nicholas Dausi, Secretary to the Office of President and Cabinet Lloyd Muhara and newly appointed commissioners for the Zambia maize probe, Mutharika said that he cannot act on allegations.
Mutharika appointed a Commission of Inquiry on Zambia Maize importation on 1st January 2017 and the Commissioners are: Retired Chief Justice Anastazia Msosa (Chairperson), Solicitor General Public Auditor Mr. Isaac Kayira, Dr Janet Banda and Mike Chinoko who is Secretary of the Commission.
The Commission is expected to report back by the 31st of January, 2017.
Also taking oath of office was newly appointed High Court Judge, Nyakwawa Usiwa.
President Mutharika called on all those who took oath to put the interest of Malawians first as they discharge their duties.

Hi guys. I am so happy and proud of myself and I thought I should share this with you!!! Today I saw myself on TV, when I turned it off
WTF ?..SUCCESSOR ???.CHAPONDA ?!!!!!!!!!!!
I have known Dr Chaponda since advent of multipartism. In short he served in different portfolios in the first multiparty government of Dr Muluzi from 1994 to 2004. He also served In Bingus government from 2004 until 2012. He only remained MP in parliament when madam Joyce Banda took over temporarily! Dr Chaponda assisted DPP to win back govt in 2014.
I know Chaponda as performer, hardworking, honest, truthful, intelligent, co-operative, kind, persuasive in advancing ideas, democratic and mostly loved by his people. He is one of longest serving MPs during multiparty era! Being in government and as member of parliament since 1994, obviously he can not be without enemies. There are so many!
I am not trying to defend him here but surely, I am against baseless accusations, mud slinging character assassination, wrong-tree-barking-up and band wagon art of hate and regionalistic mindset.
Chaponda is a fine gentleman. He is not type of person who likes stage fights and fists to spit on enemies. He is respectful gentleman. Open and straight forward. Ready to help and employs unaggressive approach to conflict resolutions. A good listener!
Do not hate for no reason. Better give a dog a bad name and hang him.
