Brigadier General Charles Kalumo (retired )the new Director General of Immigration and Citizenship services department has brought discipline and good work ethics and efficiency and effectiveness and good time management and has sealed all loopholes that the lazy and corrupt officers were using to demand money and kickbacks at the most corrupt institution in Malawi second to Malawi Revenue Authority. General Kalumo is a senior military officer of high integrity and moral ethics and he doesn’t take nonsense and a man of high military discipline.
These disgruntled officers are finding it hard to steal money and General Kalumo is just a scapegoat of poor discipline and corrupt practices at the institution.
This new leadership has cleared the rot and rubble at the institution. There is no katangale hence the cries and flimsy accusations.
Even if they conduct an investigation they will find nothing wrong with the conduct and management by General Kalumo.
These are crying babies and there is new regime that will bring efficiency and effectiveness and good time management and end corrupt practices in this government institution.
Bravo General Kalumo the government must support his new leadership in order to bring good officers only and stop the corruption which is denying Malawi good public services around the country.
