Chakwera Asked to Fire Deputy Ministers, His Advisors
A fresh call has gone out to Malawi President, Dr. Lazarus Chakwera to fire all deputy Ministers and his advisors as a way of saving country’s economy.
In total, Chakwera’s cabinet has 23 full cabinet ministers, nine deputy ministers and bunch of advisors.
But in a video clip that has gone viral on social media, Social Commentator Rodney Salamu thinks the number, which is 32, is too huge considering country’s current economic status.
According to the fearless activist, firing all deputy ministers and presidential advisors would help the government to save public funds as money it uses in paying them will be diverted to other operations.
“Deputy Ministers are chocking country’s economy, we don’t need them as of now,” said Salamu while emphasizing on the need for Chakwera to trim his cabinet from 23 to 10 member team.
Salamu has, further to that,accused government for increasing maize selling price at Agricultural Development and Marketing Corporation (ADMARC) depots saying the move will burden the poor who are already suffering.
However, speaking recently in Blantyre during the opening of International Trade Fair, President Chakwera ‘boasted’ that country’s economy is recovering from divesting shocks.
