Early this month, Vice President Dr. Saulos Chilima (also Minister for Economic Planning & Development and Public Sector Reforms) held interface meetings with Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) and Directors of Finance for Parastatal Organisations, as he requested for reports from them, to be submitted by 17th July, 2020. According to a statement by the Press Office of the Vice President, 9 parastatals have missed the deadline as Chilima calls for disciplinary action.
According to the statement, out of the 66 institutions which were expected to submit the reports, 56 delivered on time. Part of the statement reads “Nine Parastatals missed the deadline with some of them submitting as late as yesterday Monday 20th July, 2020. At the time of issuing this statement, the Malawi Institute of Management (MIM) had not yet submitted.”
Having expressed dissatisfaction with the conduct
of those that missed the deadline, Dr. Chilima directed the Controller of Statutory Corporations to take disciplinary action on the CEOs of these 10 Parastatals “specifically MIM which is yet to submit” as the statement says.
