Agriculture Development and Marketing Corporation (ADMARC) Chief Executive Officer Margret Roka Mauwa has been removed from her post.

Mauwa has been replaced by Felix Jumbe, former member of Kasungu.

This is a sharp response to ADMARC employees’ demands. Last week ADMARC employees threatened to down tools if government didn’t remove Mauwa and two others for alleged abuse of office.

A letter signed by Chief Secretary to government Lloyd Muhara, says that Mauwa has been seconded to the Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and Water Development.

Govt has also appointed Stain Singo as the new board chairperson for ADMARC.
