George Chaponda with Peter Mutharika

Despite two public inquiries on the maize saga implicating minister of agriculture, irrigation and water development George Chaponda for his dealings, Malawi leader Peter Mutharika has not taken action against the minister angering Malawians in the process.

Malawians whom this publication solicited views from expressed anger at Mutharika for not firing Chaponda following recommendations by the two inquiries that the minister should be probed for corruption in the process of buying maize in Zambia.

George Chaponda with Peter Mutharika
Mutharika (R) has not acted on Chaponda (L) yet.

“The silence from APM on recommendations of the [Anastasia] Msosa commission is deafeningly loud!!! The inaction is giving a foul stench that is depressing when one feels that we are taken for granted on APM promised commitment to combat corruption!!! Where can Malawi get clean leaders?” wrote John Mkakeni Edward Chipeta.
While Adam Juma wrote: “I am suspecting that even the President is in the same boat”.

Commenting further on our official Facebook page, Duncan Chizizi disclosed for a need to have Chaponda sacked as minister of agriculture.
A report by a commission of inquiry that was chaired by Justice Anastasia Msosa recommended that Chaponda should be investigated for possible corruption on his involvement in buying maize in Zambia.

Another report by a joint parliamentary committee also recommended that Chaponda must be probed for his role that has raised eyebrows.

However, the continued clinging to office by Chaponda and failure by Mutharika to fire the minister has exasperated Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) who have since organized nationwide demonstrations against the minister.

  43. You can be like clever, BUT, know with Almighty Lord you will be foolish! All these poor Malawians God can’t allow them to suffer because of one or two stubborn people, remember, the same God who created heaven and earth will prosecute all those culprits.

    1. Amene anadya nawo and who support stealing and looting public funds will be seen hear! Why defending a thief? Out of 80% Malawians, can you justify your protection to these thieves?

    2. Can justify his theftness? By the no one is guilty of any charges until ruled by the court of law, mukhoza kumangidwaso on rights violation, why are you tarnishing his image by the way? Pitani mukanene kupolosi kuti anakuberani chimanga ngati muli ndi umboni man otherwise be a responsible citizen for once, don’t be driven by these stupid political games

    4. By the way the so-called 80% of yours doesn’t mean they are true, zoti majority rules zinatha kale nowadays kuli minority rule, justice should be done not fake reports and issues

  51. CORRECTION: The heading mustn’t generalize. Not all Malawians gives a damn what the propagandists says.

  58. Wrong headline, not all Malawians are angry but say non-dpp Malawians and those that do not belong to political parties. Can dpp cadets be angry over Chaponda’s theft?Do not generalise.

  59. The Majority is quite at home enjoying their meals with all hope of a good season’s harvest. Let’s hope that these few lazy ones wrestling & restless, breathless with Chaponda’s issue will not give us another headache when hunger strikes them a few months from now.
