Rumours Spread claiming Mukhito
The State House has refuted widespread story on the redeployment of State Residence Chief Mr. Peter Mukhitho and Mr. Paul Norman Chisale- calling the news 'mare rumours of no substance'
In a press statement released on Wednesday afternoon, Chikondi Juma Press Officer at Kamuzu Palace, Lilongwe says it is not true that the Director General of State Residences Mr. Peter Mukhito and Mr. Paul Norman Chisale, the Director of Security have been removed or redeployed to the National Intelligence Service (NIS).
"The truth of the matter is that The State President, His Excellency Prof. Arthur Peter Mutharika who is the appointing authority at State Residences has not made that decision and does not intend to make that decision and it is not in his plans to make that decision."
"Mr. Mukhito and Mr. Chisale are still at State House and continue to discharge their duties in their respective positions just as Mr. Nicholas Dausi at the National Intelligence Service (NIS)" said the statement which is also appealing to the People of Malawi to ignore any press reports on this matter, because they "are just rumours with no substance."
Since Tuesday, rumours were widespread that Mukhitho and Norman Chisale have been redeployed to National Intelligence Bureau following revelations that they emblezzled fuel funds.
Should we say the decision has been revoked?
As the state is trying to fire-extinguish the whistleblowed information, leaves a big question if what is being spread was government initial decision but has been decided upon to forgo following any prospective criticisms.
