A Malawi Congress Party ( MCP) diehard of Mvera in Dowa district Mr. Rodgers Kamphangala, has expressed hope that the civil service headcount exercise currently underway in all the country’s 28 districts will expose many ghost workers.
Kamphangala said there have been civil service headcount exercise before, but no one knows how it has been ending and no ghost workers were exposed, it was business as usual.
He said from 1997 governments which came under multiparty politics and democracy have been conducting civil service headcount exercise but the results have been the same, quiet as the graveyard making many wondering the purpose of conducting such the exercise in the country.
The MCP diehard said the DPP led government of President Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika has demonstrated that its headcount exercise will fish out many ghost workers in the public service.
The MCP diehard said from 2020 to 2025 the MCP led government of President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera employed many people in the public service and many of them were at better grades receiving lucrative salaries out of possessing one major qualification- a loyalist of the MCP.
He said even those who were armed with pangas working on terrorizing and hacking innocent people in Lilongwe and surrounding places were receiving better salaries per month and many of them found their way to the state house as gardeners.
Kamphangala has claimed that there were others whose job descriptions were not known at the state house, but government was paying them lucrative salaries and allowances out of just staying in their respective homes while enjoying themselves drinking beer and playing bawo game.
He said he is not surprised with the figure released by the Department of Human Resource Management and Development (HRMD) that 199,000 civil servants have been verified as the rightful civil servants out of 292, 000 in the first phase of the headcount exercise.
Kamphangala said majority of these people came in the civil service during the reign of President Chakwera and the MCP and no wonder that the new government of the DPP has uncovered several irregularities one of it being no letters of confirmation or appointment, and educational qualifications.
” It was very interesting to see one, a standard seven drop out of school, working as a state house gardener on P7 grade, what a lucky man and what a government the MCP was,” said Kamphangala.
He expressed hope the other verification exercise coming targeting 47,000 pensioners will expose more rot in government that some clever people are benefiting than the families whose loved ones have gone to the eternal peace.
Kamphangala has finally proposed to government to establish a special court to arrest and prosecute individuals who were thieving in government to recover the lost money to ghost workers and those behind employing them in the civil service must face the long arm of the law including dismissals.
