Life
In November 2018 Malawi's Women Lawyers Association lobbied the President for action on improving the representation of women in government. They argued that he should also take action against Mchacha who was the Deputy Minister for Homeland. He was reported to be calling women opponents prostitutes.[3]
In 2020 Mchacha was the former minister of Irrigation and Water Development when he and Ministry of Defence Principal Secretary Bright Kumwembe were changed with offences relating to Mchacha's acquisition of land in 2019. The land was in Kanjedza Forest near Blantyre and the alleged acquisition was during his time as Deputy Minister of Homeland.[4]
