Three people, who were allegedly hired as health surveillance assistants under Nsanje District Council without following laid down procedures, have been removed from the pay roll.

District Commissioner, Dr. Medson Matchaya has confirmed of the development in an interview with the press this morning.

The three were allegedly put on the pay roll by Nsanje District Health Office Principal Human Resource Officer, Lufai Nachamba.

It is alleged that Nachamba recruited three additional HSAs in June this year, contrary to a warrant by the Department of Human Resource and Management (DHRM), which instructed the council to only hire four HSAs as per the establishment.
