The State House has warned its staff from using the name of President Lazarus Chakwera to indulge in acts  that are contrary  to interest  and Public Image of State House

According to a memo signed by State House Chief of Staff, Prince Kampondamgaga acknowledged the existence of some scrupulous crooks duping people taking advantage of being state employees at state residences,

Among others the memo states that acts include soliciting money from prospective bidders  of Public procurement in exchange to influence the awarding of contracts of public goods, services and works.

“The unacceptable practices include: soliciting money from business owners and parastatals using the name of the President, using the name of the President to unlawfully acquire public goods among others,” highlight the memo.

However, state House Chief of Staff described the acts as unacceptable,  unprofessional and constitute gross indiscipline saying  the act  will not be tolerated but could not state any example of the said practices.

Kapondamgaga has since warned that any one found to be engaging in the acts  will be subject to severe discipline.
