Kambala who said this in Parliament on Monday when presenting his ministerial response on the Natural resources committee fuel report, said the country is in this fuel import mess due to lack of transparency. Kambala also faulted NOCMA for not responding to Malawi Energy Regulatory Authority \u2013 MERA that was recommending two new fuel import suppliers.<\/p>\n

Kambala who further disagreed with the Natural resources committee on the recommendation that the President should fire the MERA Board said the Committee had no mandate as that mandate is with Public Appointments Committee \u2013 PAC upon conducting an inquiry into the competence of the Board.<\/p>\n

But reacting, Werani Chilenga Chairperson of the Natural Resources Committee of Parliament said the minister was not supposed to comment on the issue, as it is being investigated by ACB. He further said the minister is compromised as he has already taken a side on the matter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
