Africa-Press<\/a> – Malawi<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Secretary to the President and Cabinet Zangazanga Chikhosi says audit reports from the Auditor General\u2019s Office will now be naming officers failing to comply with Government regulations and procedures.<\/p>\n

Chikhosi has announced this in a circular dated 22 September, 2021 and addressed to Controlling Officers, Principal Secretaries and Heads of Department.<\/p>\n

According to Chikhosi, the development aims at implementation of various measures instituted to promote transparency and accountability of public resources.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been noted that there is recurrence of audit queries across ministries, departments and agencies due to laxity in enforcement of regulations. Please note that any such non-compliance will no longer be tolerated,\u201d said Chikhosi.<\/p>\n

He then directed the Auditor General to execute the changes in the audit report with immediate effect. Reacting to the directive on social media, social commentator Onjezani Kenani said \u201cChikhosi means business\u201d.<\/p>\n

Another social media user said: \u201cGood, that\u2019s what we want, thieves should be exposed.\u201d But some commenters on Kenani\u2019s post expressed doubt that the directive will be implemented while others expressed concern that those named in audit reports could drag Government to court for defamation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
