There are reports that the Malawi Interfaith AIDS Association (MIAA) has suspended its executive director Robert Ngaiyaye over alleged mismanagement of funds.
When Kulinji (online paper) sought Ngaiyaye’s comment over the development, he referred the publication to the organisation’s board chairperson.
“I think you should talk to the board chairperson,” was all he uttered.
MIAA’s board chair Bishop Gilford Matonga confirmed that Ngaiyaye has indeed been suspended pending investigations, but he was quick to say that the board is yet to meet on the matter.
“We’re still investigating and cannot come up with specifics, once all things have been verified, we’ll notify the public,” he explained.
He pointed out that in the interim, the board and technical staff is overseeing MIAA’s operations until investigations are done.
An insider disclosed to Kulinji that Ngaiyaye also sold official vehicles of the grouping, whose proceeds were not accounted for.
Established in 2003, MIAA is an interfaith service agency, comprising different faith members and is composed of Malawi Council of Churches, Evangelical Association of Malawi, Christian Health Association of Malawi, Muslim Association of Malawi and Association of Christian Educators and play a pivotal role in the coordination and facilitation of HIV and AIDS programming in the country.

This story is runbish and nonsensical. Theres too much jealous in our corporate affairs. Anybody who has ever been ceo in malawi knows what i am talking about
Mr Ngaiyaye has been in that position for many years. He could not have sold institutional vehicles and failed to account for the funds. This is not true
Most Boards in Malawi are useless and non progressive. Mr Ngaiyaye keep your head up. Those useless board members dont want you. They will try to create stories so they can dismiss you. Please review your Plan B
A word to all in ceo positions please take heed. Those board members are not your friends. Jealous.
Our national anthem talks about jealos/ nsanje. I can vouch for Ngaiyaye. He is a good man. He is peace loving and God fearing. Dont create stories to tarnish his record.
