The retired general secretary of Livingstonia Synod, Reverend Levi Nyondo has been confirmed as Ambassador to Brazil. He will be replacing Chris Chaima Banda, former Strategic Advisor to President Lazarus Chakwera, who turned down the appointment.
Joyce Chitsulo, who is the Public Appointments Committee of Parliament Chairperson confirmed the development highlighting that Chaima Banda refusal to take up the post meant they had to find the replacement.
Nyondo who was General Secretary of CCAP Livingstonia Synod retired last year and his farewell event was held on 27th December 2020 in Mzuzu.
Nyondo was a strong critic of the then ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) mainly on quota system which the Church believed was discriminatory and targeted the northern region.
