As President Lazarus Chakwera is in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) searching for fuel, his minister of labour, Agnes Makonda Nyalonje, has resigned from the cabinet.
Nyalonje, one of the UTM members who remained in the cabinet after the party left the Tonse Alliance, resigned Saturday evening.
“I can confirm I have resigned from the Cabinet. SKC’s death changed the situation for me. I first submitted my resignation back in July but was asked to delay its enactment. His Excellency has now kindly accepted my resignation.” Nyalonje told Nation Online
UTM, a key partner with the ruling Malawi Congress Party (MCP), left the Alliance soon after the death of its leader, Saulos Chilima.
