Movete allegedly said Rumphi is a miserable district and he would be happy to be posted away from the district. He wrote the words in message to Rumphi West Member of Parliament, Yona Mkandawire, in response to Mkandawire\u2019s concerns on how the council procured the constituency\u2019s developmental materials.<\/p>\n

One Rumphi resident who sought anonymity said people in the district are not happy with the DC\u2019s words. \u201cSince he is calling Rumphi a miserable district that is why we are asking government to transfer him to elsewhere because how can he work in a miserable district,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Another resident, Menson Chavula told Malawi24 that the community is planning a peaceful demonstration to force Government to transfer Movete. \u201cBefore things become out of hand, Government should help us otherwise we are we are not happy even our chiefs are not happy with his behavior. Let him leave Rumphi alone, we were expecting him to help our district with development projects but he has failed,\u201d said Chavula.
