BREAKING: Mutharika fires Chaponda


George Chaponda with Peter Mutharika

Malawi President Peter Mutharika has finally given to pressure and has fired Minister of Agriculture George Chaponda, Malawi24 can confirm.

The Malawi leader has in a statement signed by Press Secretary Mgeme Kalilani indicated that all matters Chaponda held as Minster should now be referred to his office.

Chaponda- who has come under fire over his feared involvement in the maizegate scandal was still Minister despite a recent recommendation by special commission of inquiries that he be investigate of what they dubbed as suspicious dealings with Transglobe Limited.

There also was more trouble for the Minister as on Tuesday the Anti-Corruption Bureau found millions of cash at his residence in Area 10 in Lilongwe.

  7. thats dpp.. ndiye munganene kuti nduna sizikupanga cashgate..?

  8. I said it once that the State President is the REFEREE of those honourable men in HIS CABINET!! AND I CONGRATULATED THE STATE PRESIDENT FOR THE STRONG WARNING STATEMENT HE SAID WHEN THE CHIEF SECRETARY AND OTHERS WERE SWEARING AT KAMUZU PALACE IN LILONGWE! I, therefore still-more ask the State President as the “REFEREE” to seriously stick or stand to his WORDS in order to save the country’s wealth from the GLUTTONOUS AND DISRESPECTIFUL SERVANTS OF THE MALAWI NATION WHOSE AIM IS TO SATSIFY THEMSELVES AND LEAVING THE POOR PEOPLE IN RURAL AREAS SLUMBERING! REMEMBER THAT IT’S THE MALAWI NATION THAT VOTED FOR YOU AND THAT YOU OWE THEM A LEGACY AT THE END!

  9. Too late damage already done. Chaponda has already doctrined his regionalism and tribalism ideology in DPP government. He left many corrupt friends behind to provide him some tenders

  10. Fired?On what grounds? If all this has to do with corruption then the presedent must also order the Malawi Police to lock him up. Akuyenera kupita ku Maula basi ndipo makiyi amu cell yake akataidwe mu Lingadzi kuti apite madzi ama floods

  11. For those on Free Data.
