The 67 Boards of Parastatals is very impressive. 90 % of those who have been appointed are Professionals.

One notable thing ; There are few Traditional Leaders ( Chiefs) who have been appointed unlike in the previous administrations where several Chiefs made it .

One Clear signal : – President Chakwera and his Vice Saulos Chilima are draining the swamp. Bomali likhaladi lokomera tonse. Abusa sakugawa masiwiti! Abusa ndi a Vice awo ali serious kukonza dziko.

Roja that !
