This country is in very big trouble. The comments on this page have no resemblance to the interview i listened to. in fact I listened to the full version not this cut version. People are talking about he said ACB was created by EU and Britain, where did he say that?, he said the ACB was bad, I clearly remember him saying “yes you have a point there….2 what was the point? The point was that the ACB should not be politicised, but it is politicised because the institutions that Funded the start up of the ACB, set it up… Read more »

I always thought Gondwe was one of the good guys, now I realize I was completely wrong, he is one of the rotten people that are stealing out tax money. Who do you trust anymore with your hard earned money, I work everyday to put food on my table and educate the kids and I give the government 30% of everything I earn on top of 16.5% and all the other so called “services”, more than 70% of my salary goes to the government but I am so disappointed by Gondwe’s interview that clearly implicates him, either he was trying… Read more »

This guy called Goodall Gondwe who is incharge of our Public purse as a finance minister is really a disappointment to the people of Malawi and I dont know who is going to save us.What he said to the BBC that the anti corruption bureau was imposed on Malawi by Eu and Britain is appalling considering that him as a finance minister ,he would be in a better position to understand the importance of ACB as an important institution of governance yet he is even saying its bad to have ACB. Seriously speaking who is going to save us from… Read more »

In Malawi there is no way a serving cabinet minister can be charged of corruption, or indeed, any other criminal offence because of the nature of our politics. In the first place, ministers are appointed not because of their capabilities, but as a reward for their patronage and resources they ‘invested’ during the campaign period. The appointing authority, thus, feels indebted to the people he appoints to various positions, and any show of toughness on errant such appointees would be misinterpreted as a sign of ungratefulness on the president’s part and it would be akin to political suicide. Honestly, we… Read more »

Nyasatimes, Goodall Gondwe never said ACB was imposed by IMF and WB, at least I can tell that after reading this article. Correct your heading please.

And you, Goodall Gondwe, whether ACB was started with the influence of IMF and the WB or not, it does not matter. What matters is that ACB is the best thing that happened to Malawi and that it should be allowed to work independently (not attached to the legislature or/and to the executive arms of the government).

It looks like the cartel is cracking gradually as their actions smack of systematic cover up. The once respected public officials will have to face the consequences of their illegal actions one day and from what Goodal responded, it is clear that these criminals are being squeezed as they don’t have enough space to manoeuvre.
