Outgoing Registra General Machiri
Mpala was deputy to Machiri.
Reports are that Machiri who was appointed to the registra general’s position in 2022 reached his retirement and seem to be adamant to leave office.
He took over from Clemence Masango and had been the Deputy Registrar General before he was appointed acting Registrar General in 2020.
Further reports are that Machiri reached retirement age in May 2023.
“He got one year extension to June 2024 and he applied for another to 31 December the same year which was written final.
“So on Thursday he locked the office and promised to come back in 5 days.
“He seem not ready to leave office,” said a source.
However, in a statement, Secretary for Home Affairs and Cultural Heritage, Amb RT Faranisi confirmed the appointment of Mpala.
“Please be advised that you have been appointed to act as Registrar General with effect from 1 January 2025 until the post is substantively filled.
“I wish you all the best in your new assignment and hope that you continue to benefit from the team spirit within the Civil Registry Department and the Ministry at large.”
