Nancy Tembo

She is also a Member of Parliament (MP) representing Lilongwe City South West constituency in the National Assembly of the Republic of Malawi.

Her parents were both local civil servants working in various Malawian district hospitals including Thyolo, Nsanje, Machinga, Mangochi amongst others.

[citation needed] Tembo began her political career when she ran for MP in the 2004 Malawian general election and won[6] the Lilongwe City South West Constituency seat.

During the controversial 2014 general elections, she led an MEC Commissioner Revolt seeking electoral justice and demanding a recount before a winner was announced.

[citation needed] She was appointed as Minister of Natural Resources and Climate Change in President Chakwera's inaugural cabinet and sworn in on 10 July 2020.

[citation needed] In November 2021, she represented her native Malawi at the United Nations COP26 Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, Scotland after agreeing collaboration and support from the UK government.

Chitsulo accused the ministry of appointing principal officers on a temporary basis to avoid scrutiny and they could in theory lead an embassy for four years without any oversight by PAC.

[13] Her husband is Morgan Tembo who was the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) at Limbe Leaf Group (part of the Universal Corporation - a global agribusiness conglomerate).

Her husband's uncle is the veteran politician John Tembo and hence is a cousin to de facto former first lady Cecilia Tamanda Kadzamira.
