Absence of appointment letters for controlling officers in councils: Malga concerned, govt says sorting

March 14, 2021 Wanangwa Mtawali-Nyasa Times 4 Comments Nearly three weeks after government interdicted district commissioners (DCs) and city, municipal and town council chief executive officers (CEOs) over alleged abuse of Coronavirus disease (Covid-19) pandemic funds, officials acting in those positions are still operating without “official appointment letters” from government, Nyasa Times has learnt. Zeru Mkandawire: Unnecessary chaos The situation has already raised fears among some quarters that the decisions being made by the acting controlling officers may be “undermined” in the “absence of official communication”. Both Ministry of Local Government and Malawi Local Government Association (Malga), have confirmed the absence of official appointment letters for the acting officials.

Malga criticises withdrawal of Covid funds from local councils

February 28, 2021 Wanangwa Mtawali-Nyasa Times 4 Comments The Malawi Local Government Association (Malga)–an umbrella body of all local councils–has expressed its concern over the withdrawal of Coronavirus (Covid-19) funds from councils by the central government, saying the decision “undermines the spirit of decentralization”. Zeru Mkandawire: Hypocrisy Malga acting executive director, Hadrod Zeru Mkandawire, made these sentiments in an interview with Nyasa Times, adding that central government overlooked political leaderships of the councils when it made such a “serious” decision The concerns come barely two days after central government, through Department of Disaster Management Affairs (Dodma) and Presidential Taskforce on Covid-19, blocked local councils and some clusters from spending their portions in the MK17 billion Covid-19 funding–which government released to finance various public sector interventions in the fight against the pandemic.
