Africa-Press<\/a> – Malawi<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>If Malawi is to remain steady on her road to development and implementation of the MW2063 development blue print, then the country needs Accountants who are gatekeepers of resources and not conduits of fraud and corruption.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Malawi is to attain her economic independence and move forward and up the ladder, then honest, upright and patriotic accountants are the catalyst for that change and not those who wants to enrich themselves quick and crookedly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Malawi\u2019s vice President Saulos Chilima made the remarks on Thursday in Mangochi when he delivered an opening statement at the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Malawi (ICAM) conference.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Accountants are not the forefront safeguarding our economy, then who will? Procrastination is the thief of time. \u201cRise and defend the noble profession today and not tomorrow,\u201d Chilima said. The Vice President said a nation that has no semblance of discipline is on the verge of collapse.<\/p>\n

The veep further appealed to the Accountants to familiarize with the MW2063, saying they were a crucial stakeholder group to the implementation of the development \u2013 starting with the first 10 year plan that is underway.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs people entrusted with managing resources of this country, you are very big part and at the heart of the success of the implementation of the MW2063,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said for instance, if the country does not have Accountants well versed in Mining, which is one of the pillars in the MW2063 \u2013 Malawi may end up seeing a flood of expatriate Accountants in our Mining sector.<\/p>\n

\u201cRebuilding our economy ought to be championed by the Accountants of this country. And the Accountants of this country are here. In this room,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

speaking earlier both ICAM President Phyles Kachingwe and the Chief Executive Officer Francis Chinjoka Gondwe said the institute will pursue discipline issues seriously and will continue meting punishment on errand Accountants.<\/p>\n

The three day conference has lined up a number of influential speakers including revered Economist Associate Professor Ronald Mangani who once served as Secretary to the Treasury and was recently once of the 15 member team that Chilima assembled to overhaul the public service whose report government is yet to make public.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
