You know what; a long time ago I attended a meeting where we were tasked to propose names of individuals to sit on one of the boards in my field of specialization. We were required to come up with six names of highly qualified professionals in the country. We chose five men and one woman as the best combo we could dream of, i.e. our dream team. But the woman's name was turned down during the first screening process at the Department of Statutory Corporations, way before the final vetting at OPC, because she was already a member of another very powerful board, if you know what I mean. The only other woman we could have chosen to sit on that particular board, in as far as experience and academic qualifications were concerned, was a PS in the parent ministry. So anyhow, the PS  woman was still going to sit on the board as an ex official. To cut the long story short, we ended up with six men and several ex-officios. Ndiye izi zomangolirira zili zonse chifukwa chozolowera the infamous kota system introduced into Mother Malawi by the Bibida Master Bingu, ndizosathandiza kwenikweni; but merit, merit, and merit. Ndangodutsamo!
