Another probe for ACB on Area 3 and 9  land scam involving Chothia,Suleman

As the Anti- Corruption Bureau (ACB) is currently probing the alleged sale of Livimbo Community Day Secondary School the graft-busting body has also been furnished by the whistle-blower of another land scandal involving  two Malawian businesspersons of Asian origin in  Area 3 in Lilongwe.

Land battle in Lilongwe 

The two controversial businesspersons  Mustak Chothia and Suleman Ismail  afre said to have bought the land dubiously from Malawi Housing Corporation (MHC)  and sold three flats developed there to  Roza Mbilizi of Malawi Revenue Authority (MRA).

Apparently, Chothia and Ismail have “severe tax evasion” queries at MRA where Mbilizi as deputy head of the customs body is shielding them, Nyasa Times understands.

Pearl Adventures,  a company run by Chothia, is facing probe over allegations of tax crimes.

Chothia and Ismail  have been exposed  by former official at Ministry of Lands and Urban Development,  Flemings Chifombo,  who was  arrested on allegations that they were forging signatures and produce lease documents.

The law enforcers  also nabbed Diverson Mlozi, Rose Ajasi and an Indian Abubooker Istiaq.

Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development busted a parallel ‘Lands Office’ in Lilongwe which allegedly transacted and sold plots with counterfeit documents. Seven suspects were arrested in connection with operations of the dubious ‘Lands Office’.

Recently, Police also  arrested Mustag Mahomed, Chifuniro Simumbe and lawyer Umahu Mataka on the same syndicate while Alex Mawaya was still on the run.

The syndicate has been discovered after President Peter Mutharika had directed the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development to attend to a lot of complaints on double land allocations and issuing of illegal certificates and deeds, according to Principal Secretary in the ministry of land  Joseph Mwandidya.

Nkolokosa you are just displaying your idiotic mindset here. Roza Mbilizi is DCG not the stupid title you have put here which don’t exist.

You are arguing about the correct title or position, unfortunately this is not the main substance, corruption is the elephant in the room!

Rosa Mbilizi is very corrupt. She has connections ndi ma judge and also some government officials including foreign dignitaries. The Mbilizi family is very powerful and it will take a stern lawyer to successfully prosecute this case. It’s obvious she is a dirty character but we need a serious lawyer to get her convicted. The way I know our ACB, this story will die a natural death. But trust me, Mbilizi simumutha because she is even connected to the president and the finance minister Mwanamvekha.

Roza mbilizi is a thieving bitch! MRA cant perform better with people like her holding top positions. Amwenye adzingonjoya.

Why is Roza Mbilizi not arrested? This is where corruption will not stop. Corruption cases should involve both the benefactor and the beneficiary. Unfortunately, the law in Malawi is selective. I am not surprised Ralph Kamoto was removed from MRA. My fellow former Pius X11 seminarian could not allow nonsense to happen at MRA. Ask Masangiwi.
