The Gender minister Jean Kalirani and a flood of State House staff who accompanied President Peter Mutharika to the UN general meeting in the United States almost a couple of weeks ago, have returned.

On Mutharika’s trip to US he took two cabinet ministers; Foreign Affairs ministers Francis Katsaira, who is with the president in the US and Kalirani, who has since returned.

Mutharika is however remaining with a dozen security detail, head of state spies, Nicholas Dausi and very few State House handlers.

State House spokesperson Mgeme Kalirani said Mutharika is still working in the US and could not say what type of job he is doing nor when he is expected to come back home.

Meanwhile the critics are saying Mutharika is blowing 5 million Malawi kwacha each day spends in US.
