Chothia, Khadba take on HRDC over ‘whistle blowing’: Asks Malawi News to apologise
Businesspersons Mustaq Chothia and Suleiman Kadba of Pear Ventures Limited has hired Lion Rock Attorney at Law of Powel Nkhutabasa ad Innocent Kubwalo to write Human Rights Defenders Coalition (HRDC) querying the organisations on allegations of public land grab.
HRDC the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) to investigate on how a Malawi Housing Corporation (MHC) land in Area 3 in Lilongwe was sold to Chothia and Khadba
The coalition alleges that Chothia and Karim were also dubiously awarded land near Kamuzu Central Hospital roundabout, Lilongwe’s Area 15 and Area 3 as well as plots opposite Lilongwe Labour Offices.
But through their lawyers, have written HRDC informing them they note with concerned that the organisation or the news outlets have furnished them with particulars of the alleged acts of corruption or offered them an opportunity to comment on them.
The lawyers said Chothia and Khadba “remain in the dark as to the specific matters on which they are alleged to have acted corruptly.”
The two “categorically deny all allegations,” according to the lawyers in the letter.
The lawyers have asked HRDC to furnish them with particulars of the alleged practices so that their clients can consider and comment on them.
The HRDC further alleges that Chothia and Khadba were also dubiously awarded land near Kamuzu Central Hospital roundabout, Lilongwe’s Area 15 and Area 3 as well as plots opposite Lilongwe Labour Offices.
“HRDC has also information that there have been many suspected cases by some Ministry of Land officials awarding land without following proper procedures,” said the coalition in their letter.
HRDC further wants a probe on Ministry of Land officials who have sold government land without proper procedures at Choma Hatchery in Mzuzu, Mpemba Staff Development Institute (SDI) land in Blantyre and part of Maula Prison land in Lilongwe’s Area 6.
Meanwhile, Chothia and Khadba have also written Malawi News for the article it published in the newspaper last Saturday about them on the ‘land scam’, saying it was defamatory and seeks apology or damages for libel.
The HRDC has embarked on an initiative to allow whistle blowers, among others, to provide information to State institutions on alleged malpractices and the coalition has in turn been providing such information to graft-busting body as evidence on alleged malpractices.

Threats will not make this go away. Let every detail of how you acquired the land come out in the open, if it was legal, then you have nothing to worry about. But stopping an investigation is not the way to go.
They also need to be investigated of they are in Malawi legally. Please get to the root of how they or their parents came to settle in Malawi before we waste time on their case
No Mwenye will ever be investigated or arrested. That’s just the fact of life. Our leaders all of them are corrupt and at one time or other were receding bribes from these crooked Indians.
Not this time. They will be investigated

Can HRDC also find out how the current president acquired 5 hectares of land inArea 6 where he build his mansion. Was it done in good faith.Let us not be selective otherwise, the nation will not move at all.
Chitsilu, do you know what 5 hectares is? 12-Acres. No residential plot in Lilongwe City is 12 Acres And more apart from State House. Even Mtunthama Palace is less. His plot is 60 x 75m, a double plot in Area 6. Go measure on Google Earth before coming with stupid facts. Idiots like you should know what you are talking about before “Whistle-Blowing” from your Arse!
Iweyo ndiye idiot ungomukonza mzanu ngati walakwitsa mbuzi
You can use your foul smelling mouth to say anything. Your Google Earth is not right. He has 5 acres and that is almost 2.023 hectares. So does 60 x 75m make 2.023hectares or 5 acres. The land was supposed to be investigated. DPP wanted to investigate this land, Kunsaila wanted it to be investigated. So stop your arrogance and defending with google earth as you have done.

That is why you are still staying in a rented house chifukwa cha nkhalidwe ngati umenewu .
Baba please give us a break , don’t fully portray your stupidity here chifukwa pali ana😁😁
Kkkkk mazembe , Khama ndi we super mazembe, palibe means apa. Your ignoramus tells you that I rent.kkkkk. You dreamer. The people who are being investigated of land also rent. The truth is 5 acres of land , how was it acquired. If no issues it should not worry you.
Both Mustaq Chotia and Suleman are born thieves. They are wolves in sheepskin, and were both involved in sending thugs to steal the computers to destroy the evidence but they are fools. They think by trying to destroy evidence they will escape the cells. This is all bullshit propaganda they have embarked on. Both should be locked up for minimum 10years each and let them both rot at Tengani prison in nsanje.
If you want to blow the whistle tell Chakwera that he has hired a thief as director of finance and a corrupt guy as press officer. Brian Banda was dismissed twice at Times for soliciting Bribes. And now what will happen to those people who were saying that Times can not survive without him. Brian is a qualified corrupt guy. He is using his cousin certificate who died his name was Brian Banda while he was jimmy kambalika
