President Peter Mutharika has warned newly appointed cabinet ministers that he will not shield any minister involved in corruption.
Mutharika has also told the ministers not to be lazy adding that he will not tolerate complacency.
President Mutharika said this on Friday at Kamuzu Palace in Lilongwe during the swearing-in ceremony of four cabinet ministers.
The four are Minister of Lands, Housing and Urban Development Anna Kachikho, Minister of Mining and Natural Resources Aggrey Massi who was Deputy Minister of Agriculture, Deputy Defence Minister Everton Chimulilenji and Deputy Minister of Gender Clement Mkumbwa.
Mutharika advised the ministers to refrain from corrupt practices saying he will not protect any minister from the long arm of the law.
“Ministers are custodians of public resources and I will not shield any minister found taking part in corrupt practices,” said Mutharika.
He added that what he is looking for from the ministers is a hardworking spirit. The president also urged the new ministers to listen to advice.
“In exercising your duty, I urge you to put forward the aspirations and needs of the people. These aspirations are constantly changing with time. This means you must be listening leaders. Always listen to the needs of the people,” said Mutharika

Excellent, and point taken, let’s strive to walk the talk
We Are Tired Wth Old Fashion Speech Mr Presdnt
Don’t expect a politician to adress all of your demands.Even Chakwera can’t help this country to a certain level.if we have someone who fears the oppositions,then he’s good.
And its non of ur business as a president we have Anti Corruption Beaural to deal with that not U. R u trying to tel us that u r not a corrupt leader? Malawi wil change only if we change our costitutions. We nid equal rights, if the first citizen dont know hw to pay tax to his own govt wat example is he giving to the ordinary citizen?

This really shows that he has been shield to them ever since,confession noted Mr shield president
Did he now?…. How and Why?
Peter muthalika should stop talking old-fashioned speeches(talking without real actions)because whatever he may say shall be used as a witness against him coming 2019 general election
mmmmmmm ndakaika
Dr Chakwera Sidiki Mia 2019 boma we are sick and tired of these corrupt ministers who hav been holding positions repetedly eg Goodall,Mussa we need all these old fellows to enjoy their pension at home
meaning to say , he has been shielding some previously
Political move,too late to reveal.Mickey Mouse,trying to crook the voters.Where were you to deal with the corruptionists.A chainsmoker can’t convince his fellow chainsmoker to stop smoking.
After noticing that the tide is high finally has realized that he is not too cunning for the Malawi citizens than he assumed before! Malawians are far more intelligent than you!
He is just talking he will not shield those he hates
Just for the sake of speaking. Who can mean it? His speeches are parallel to his actions
Start with those around you comrade..what about starting with cashgate that happened during yo brother regime..bring them to justice maybe then we will take you serious mr pressident.
big up sir APM u r not my fun but some pipo do not know,what dis will be put on democratic history, my honor sir
Lip service

Za Standard 1, zikuchitika apazi!!!
Actions speaks louder than words…..he must first hand himself to the acb…..then the rest will follow him
May be
HE does
Kkkkk koma nyimbo iyi…
The warning is ill timed. Not now when 2019 is approaching. Where were you all this time? When are we going to be regarded as human beings who have the brains to differentiate between a lie and the truth. Malawians let’s wake up.
motivation haaa
Kkkk as if you are serious
What about the corrupt president?

Am agree with you
Musanamize amalawi
ATSALA BWANA KUMPALUME KUTHIRIDWA ZINGWE
What about himself?
he has tried boss
Yea he has,but he must try more harder! Our country can’t continue being ruled by corrupt and capitured pipo,,,we deserve better!
Nobody is 100%
U can say that again Pearson,but accumulating wealth at the expense of public delivery services for the poor,that is not an answer,,,
No one will be perfect on ds earth,but hiding and hindering justice to prevail that one is totally not right
Him as the President he has a hand in it so let’s start with him
So as I said chimwaza?we the pipo must not get satisfied yet of what this politicians are are saying other than doing
smh
owo
KUMENEKU NDIYE KUYANKHULA KWA MTSOGOLERI BIG UP OUR PRESIDENT TIYE TONSE AZANGA A CHAKWERA TO SUPPORT OUR LEADER APM DESICION
