Some Malawians have hailed State President Dr. Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera for organizing orientation workshop for cabinet ministers and deputy ministers in an effort to build a new Malawi.
One of the followers wrote, “Ministers’ jobs need to be clearly defined.” He noted, the orientation will help ministers explore potential areas for development and propose new policy directions for particular ministries.
Another follower said, “Way to go Mr. President” it’s never too late, grill them indeed on their protocol, etiquette, conduct, presentation, interpersonal communication skills and alot more… terms of reference of their offices.
President Chakwera, in his opening remarks in Lilongwe, Monday morning, said the workshop has been organised to set ministers up for success in delivering transformative governance agenda.
“I am therefore, delighted that this workshop has been organised to prepare you for the mammoth task that lies ahead,” he said.
Adding, “In the next two days under the chairmanship of His Honour the vice president Dr Saulos Chilima, you will be equipped with knowledge on Government systems, processes and procedures.”
According to the office of President and Cabinet (OPC), the orientation delayed due to some restrictions on meetings when Covid-19 cases were escalating in the country.
