He added that was ready to resign if his institution is not saving Malawi’s interests.

“Reasons that have been advanced for the resignation of Justice Jane Ansah are more political and therefore I, Rodney Jose as Inspector General, I find no merit in it for us to intervene in politics.
“There are also those who are calling for my resignation saying that I am incompetent and most of them are making reference to the letter as my admission of my failure,” he said.
Jose adds, “There are so many professional bodies and Public Appointments Committee who can do the assessment to see if I have failed to do my job. Let them do so and if they find me wanting,
“I am ready to resign. It won’t even take a minute before I resign if I am indeed found to be incompetent”.
