About Me….

I am a Malawian based in Lilongwe and work for Malawi Energy Regulatory Authority (MERA). Previously, I worked for KPMG, an international private Accountancy practice firm specialising in Audit, Tax and Advisory services.

My interests are in areas of governance, risk management and control. I believe that there is hope for rebuilding and promoting prosperity in Malawian businesses. However, one of the challenges facing these businesses is that of governance. For instance, I have often wondered why the Chief Executive of Press Corporation is by default the Chairman of most if not all its subsidiaries giving him the over-bearing power to make decisions without being challenged. I have also wondered why the civil service especially the ministry of education is fraught with corruption scandals which would probably indicate less control or lack of it.

On this blog, I will attempt to comment and/or discuss problems that accompany slow growth and development of Malawian businesses. I will also comment on political issues affecting our society from time to time. Afterall, we are all political animals providing our politicians with checks and balances(an audit) for a peaceful Malawi. A politically stable Malawi will not only promote social stability and attract foreign investment, but also allow Malawian companies to enter the global marketplace and commence real socio-economic expansion.
