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

  3. 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?

  11. 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.
