Teachers union of Malawi (TUM) has cautioned government officials to stop making remarks which can end up angering teachers and other civil servants.
The remarks have been made by Tum’s general secretary Dennis Kalekeni.
Kalekeni expressed the concern in reaction to a statement made by the Minister of Finance Goodall Gondwe that if people working in the public sector want to become rich then they should join the private sector.
According to him, what the minister said may negatively affect their work and productivity.
Kalekeni also stressed that as a union they are not pleased with the remarks that the civil servants should stop demanding better pay from government.
“As unions we do not negotiate with the minister, we negotiate with the government only,” he said .
The Tum general secretary said that it is no secret that teachers and many civil servants in the country are suffering a lot because of high cost of living .
He therefore advised Gondwe to think critically before saying anything on air and to Malawians as well .
Goodall is a potatoe sakonzeka ndipo amadziwa kunyoza , amaona ngati Ndalama akubazo aliyense ali nazo
he is just another foolish fool.

Ka salary kawo ndi survival of the fittest,this old tumbuka puppet watikwana,these Cash & maize Gaters must check their tongues before saying any thing to their servants
Am a atumbuka but you rather say his name please don’t say words we don’t want regionalism or clan
Oscar you are rotten in your mind,
Am also a teacher but the way some teachers perform do not deserve salary increament. Absenteesm, abscondment and so forth.
They do so to suppliment their salary by doing other bussinesses rather than kumadalira salary yochepa

such remarks are the ones making education standards to continue dwindling! continue with such remarks and see how education will go like! a teacher needs to be motivated!
He is old end stupid he must just resign en gv chance to de fresh blood take over.
its not about tribe here! we r all Malawians despite our tribes! hence comment on Goodall’s statement not tribe ! however Goodall has made a rubish statement thats in-human! nonsense!!!!! but cash gate thats wat you do best!
TUM officials does not represent the interest of the teachers. They only think about their pockets
The opposite of Goodall is —Badone or good -bad and all-one
Akakhuta mkuluyu amayankhula mbwelera mkhulukileni guys!!!!!
This minister is capable to be a village headman not a minister, shame on u Gudaal
Goodall must retire…. Find solutions and stop insulting and using people….
Why should a minister even intitled to get a salary if a teacher who is imployed by the government is intitled to not ask for salary increment.
Being a government minister is a calling to serve citizens, civil servants are citizens employed by the government…. Why calling them servant?
Teaching is a career not a calling…. Even people who are called such as pastors get payed. Stop twisting people Goodall.
Insulting and threatening people is not a solution….
Go and rest with your ancient political ideologies Goodall.
Why are you even constructing TTC’s and universities….. Are you doing all this to raise money for alcohol and pot?
Go rest and have peace Goodall
Timangokupasani ulemu pa udindo muli nawo mwina make tikanakumana ntown tidakaphana CZ mmayankhula zanyasi
Masankhasakha.mukudandaula chani?mmalo mongoombera mmanja.
Quite a few teachers & almost all others in the Civil Service surely deserve such remarks. Knowing that the truth hurts those, such remarks point at, this comment may certainly do. Funny part in most cases is that the lazy & those employed from the back door are always so demanding & emotional at wrong times & reasons.
man you are not a teacher maybe thats why you dont know
I hope you are very rich and we’ll to do. Be careful the world is listening
