Govt fires Kumbemba as head of Malawi Investment and Trade Centre
Government has fired Malawi Investment and Trade Corporation (Mitc) chief executive officer Clement Kumbemba, Nyasa Times understands.
Kumbemba was told that he was being deployed to Ministry of Trade as Director, apparently a demotion.
“He is out of Mitc, he was told on Monday and his Blood Pressure shot upon receiving the news,” said a close ally of Kumbemba.
The Mitc job was one of the flashy and soft jobs which required Kumbemba globe trot.
Insiders at Capital Hill hinted that Kumbemba brought nothing to Mitc despite his numerous trips around the world scouting for investors.
I’m appalled with the inaccurateness of this article on Kumbemba and even more appalled at the extent of our demented minds that can excitedly discuss his blood pressure behavior with the press, let alone his ‘gallavanting.’ I’ll guarantee you, this same person will do the same with the next CEO. They are drawbacks in society, the kind that keep putting spanners so that productive agendas are not implemented, and take joy from the lack of progress. We have a lot of such fools.

The level at which Malawi has reached calls for innovative minds, learning minds and daring minds. Not business as usual.
you are an idiot if you think all that you have said doesnt happen. the issue is implementation.
Blood Pressure Shot Up Kkkkkk Looking forward to the change of Government June 23rd when all incompetent civil servants are fired not simply transfered and the ones that are corrupt arrested and jailed while their assets seized and repaid to Government the People of Malawi. VOTE WISELY VOTE CHANGE VOTE UTMCP
nzeru za MCP eyadi. kkk This is a democracy we dont just lock people up without proof. Most corruption cases are hard to prove. its mostly he said, she said and takes a lot of resources to follow up. accounts are hidden abroad in shell companies. its not as easy as catching your local thief. We all know the cashgate people, ask yourself how many have actually seen jail. or been sentenced for deserved terms. even Ralph Kasambara is still walking around when the whole country knows he had Mphwiyo shot.
nothing new wangocita tsoka as this is the malawi of this decade. if we all remember the song of our presidents and alike. How many times have the trolled abroad talking to investors they claimed!!! even overstaying on the summit yrip games goin back and forth!!!!!! if not were going for shopping sprees and one official doing selfie while naked in one of the new york hotel claiming not to come back early but was on investor’s programme trip!!!! remember??? till now how many investors have responded to this mission???? if not we hear the 80 PLUS INDIANS who have… Read more »
Yes, we need people who are results-oriented. Travelling alone is nothing if that cannot be backed up by positive outcomes of the mission.
