“For those who did not know the meaning of nepotism, they do not need to look any further, this is what nepotism looks like,” said a political analyst.
The 32 member cabinet has more than 25 ministers from the southern region and the rest of the regions share the remender of the posts.
Malawians have been complaining of nepotism by the DPP government and it seems this situation is likely going to stay longer.
