Dausi rejects Chakwera call for search on all ministers’ houses
Minister of Information and communication technology Nicholas Dausi has said the call by leader of opposition, Lazarus Chakwera for Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) to launch a search and seize exercise at each and every house of the cabinet minister.
Chakwera’s call came after ACB investigators confiscated K124 million, $57 500, 22 370 South African rands, 55 euros, 2 720 Indian rupees, 518 Ethiopian birr, 610 pula, 1 200 meticais, 1 250 Kenya shillings, 80 Hong Kong dollars, 1 010 Japanese yen, 29 Zambian kwacha and 100 Namibian dollar from former Minister of Agriculture George Chaponda’s residence in Lilongwe
The leader of opposiiton also asked Financial Intelligence Unit to check bank accounts of each of cabinet minister and reconcile what they have with what they declared.
But Dausi, who is also government spokesman, said the call is a ploy to undermine the independence of the ACB.
“We unequivocally reject Dr. Chakwera’s call for arbitrary searches of citizens’ houses because arbitrary use of power is the hallmark of dictatorship,” said Dausi
Dausi, a former member of the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) which Chakwera now leads, said the leader of opposition should not promote “arbitrary use of power, anarchy and violence.”
He said President Peter Mutharika remains “a peaceful democrat who respects the rule of law.”
Said Dausi: “Nobody must take Malawi back to the days of dictatorship.”

Dausi ndi mmodzi mwa anthu amene amanamiza Kamuzu kuti history ya MCP ikhalebe yoyipa. Lucky enough ife akale knows the truth that these are the pple who spearheaded all the wrong deeds in one party state. Lero akufuna kuoneka ngati iwo were not part and parcel of old MCP. We are happy now because all kholokolo starting with him Dausi are outside the rebranded MCP with the new leadership.
O…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………O Kodi doesn’t Dauis’ ignorance have limits? . . . Yes, people can be ignorant but is it not grossly irritating when people celebrate their ignorance? Nanga, does Dausi even understand what “independence” means? . . . Kodi, is he not sarcastically suggesting that the ACB is independent when he says, “The call [to search every minister’s house] is a ploy to undermine the independence of the ACB.”? – (4th Paragraph). . . . Which independent ACB is Dausi talking about? . . . Yes, the guys can be forgiven on the basis of his poor memory, but is he… Read more »
Analyst, I have liked the part where you remind Dausi that he and his DPP bed fellows voted against the Independence of the ACB in parliament and indeed today he says telling ACB what to do would be undermining its independence, which it does not have!
Dausi is a confused man.
Mukuopa chiyani a Dausi. Operation Bwezani II basi.
Dausi says APM is a silent democrat but I say APM is an accomplice of the crime of theft and corruption. He only acted on Chaponda after succumbing to pressure from Malawians of goodwill. Otherwise if the pressure was not substantial he could have been shielding his friend in crime now.
Comedian Dausi as usual. Does anyone take him seriously?
