President Chakwera during his campaign lambasted the then president for being nepotistic and filling his cabinet with people from his region.

However, Mr Chakwera has also now appointed over 70% of his cabinet members from the central region which happens to be his political stronghold.

The appointment has made several Malawians unhappy because the president had criticised his predecessor for being nepotistic and filling his cabinet with people from his region.

The new Labour Minister Kenny Kandodo is brother to the new Health Minister Khumbize Kandodo.

Businessman Gospel Kazako, who has been appointed information minister, also has his sister-in-law Agnes Nkusa Nkhoma as the deputy agriculture minister.

The appointment has made several Malawians unhappy since they expected him not to repeat the nepotism he accused his predecessor of.

I will not lie, I am greatly underwhelmed by the cabinet list. Perhaps our expectations were too high.
Husband and wife and the wife's cousin all in one cabinet, really? Malawi wokomera tonse?

Good morning @LAZARUSCHAKWERA.
Just some quick questions:
You only know nepotism when it's being practiced by your opponents – true or false?
You are a puppet of a president who is given one script for a speech, but have no say on appointments – true or false?#malawicabinet.
