Its K577bn cashgate, Malawi CSOs demand action: ‘Summon Mutharika to Parliament for grilling’
The civil society leaders are calling for swift action in form of comprehensive forensic audit into payments amounting to K577 billion (US$1.3 billion) that are shown in bank statements, but cannot be traced in Capital Hill’s cashbook, according to preliminary findings by Pricewaterhouse Coopers.
PwC examination of public finances from January 1 2009 to December 31 2014 – initially assumed to be the ‘K92 billion (US$204.4 million) – has found crime liaisons that officials have used since 2005, called Integrated Finance Management Information System (IFIMS).
The data analysis that has culminated into a 52-page report titled ‘Final Analysis Report: Reconstruction of the Malawi Government Cashbook for Purposes of Further Investigation’ has shown K577 billion (US$1.3 billion) were abused.
The submission came amid accusations that the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) administration wanted to downplay the report ostensibly because part of the potential mismanagement may have happened under their watch with the late Bingu wa Mutharika as president.
Human rights activist Billy Mayaya told Nyasa Times on Wednesday that the preliminary findings by Pricewaterhouse Coopers in tracing the origins of cashgate makes very dim reading.
“To not only have K577 billion not accounted for is not only incredulous but a great betrayal of Government’s commitment to serve the citizens of this Malawi,” Mayaya told Nyasa Times.
“As civil society, we demand a comprehensive forensic audit to follow without delay,” he said.
“We also insist that the President, Minister of Finance and the Auditor be summoned to parliament to answer questions pertaining to this issue,” added Mayaya.
Specifically, Mayaya said, the Public Accounts Committee must go further to probe the rot of financial mismanagement that not only extends to the Ministries but districts assemblies as well as the highest echelons of government.
“As civil society we will not allow the government impede investigations by hiding the names of people implicated. In 2012 they were at the forefront demanding accountability from the Joyce Banda administration now that the axe is raised above their heads, they want to stall the process. We will not let that happen on our watch. Enough is enough,” Mayaya declared.
The National Audit Office (NAO) said the forensic audit could take as long as 10 months.
To arrive at the unaccounted for K577 billion, PwC says it analysed 1 788 295 bank statement payments between January 1 2009 and December 31 2014 and matched this against the total number of payment entries on the cashbook, which were found to be 1 007 075. Thus, 781 220 transactions were not accounted for in the Cashbook.
The report also says a total of 116,252 payments above MK 1 million were identified within the Cashbook, totalling MK 1,128,338,102,110.40 for the period 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2014 with the Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and Water Development having the highest amounts of payments missing from the cashbook in 2009.While ministries of Lands and Local Government and Rural Development were also major culprits.
The investigation was commissioned to the tune of K125 million financed by the Germany government.
PwC continued from where British auditor Baker Tilly, who uncovered traces of cashgate, left.
‘Cashgate’ denotes the systematic skimming of millions of dollars of money from the government payment system.
Following the Cashgate revelations, donors withdrew aid and Malawi has been operating on a zero-aid budget, a situation that has caused misery to Malawians economically.

Glad that somebody has also asked what i asked two weeks ago on Nyasatimes. NGO’s are the worst if not the best cashgaters in this country.
I don’t know what does CONGOMA do,does it audit Ngo’s? Does it verify NGO’s junior staff salaries?
You will be surprised once you find out about NGO cashgate.
We need our taxpayers money back, and the culprints to be traced and brought to book.
But do NGOs in Malawi get audited? Cos from what I know they’re the worst cashgaters ever.
Ali nawo amene amalondoloza ndalama zao, but as for the government its the tax payers money.
I support the CSOs. Leave no stone unturned. These thieves in DPP went over board. Its their time to dance to the music.
Eee!!. A Malawi, tulo tili phuuu.

I recall that some people told us that never vote for JZU because his hands were stained with blood a murder character. And we listened. We now have both political and civil readers who to me can only best be described as worse character than a murder of one or two people. These are hardcore human killers with characteristics of criminalistic, devilish, diabolic and bloodsucking leaders living to destroy Malawians. Do we Malawians have any hope with such bloodsuckers whose purpose of living is to plunder the very financial resource we entrust them to care for our development and future?
All Malawi is rotten even all Africa not politicians only: There is real massive corruption in the civil service everywhere: In District Assemblies you can imagine a mere clerk owning fleet of cars and stationary shops after robbing off the could be beneficiaries of road construction works, teachers stealing books, chalk and dusters only to sell them to private schools, Traffic Police get corrupted by a road user law breaker, a healthy worker stealing drugs and theater equipments selling them to private clinics or take them to their clinics etc. There is cashgate everywhere the capital hill guys are just unlucky. All this is due to our CSOs that are numbering more than 740 in a tiny country like this one. From our very same professors to the lowly payed persons we are all cash pests. Have you ever heard a professor running away from his/her work rushing for a part time work leaving behind trainees to cover them up-isn’t this stealing? Yet we have a whole banch of CSOs that can help civic educate people to instill love of our country in us all and encourage us to work for it. instead they are busy fighting the government- gosh what a shit! Even some of our higher learning institutions are lacking drill beats waiting for the government or donors to provide them a thing that cost k50 and yet they have functional workshops which they turned as their private shops. To be honest we will keep on crying like this because our CSOs are not vibrant as they fail to find the real cause. Mind you if all the Billions more than this tip of ice berg of k500 bn were taken to capital hill we would have better services, better salaries, etc.Stop throwing our blame on politicians only we are all sick and stink with corruption and theft. Even in Kamuzu era there was cashgate but at a less degree due to dictatorship no wonder tremendous development. The MCP top dogs of that time were also filthy rich and were only lucky IFIMIS was not there to detect them, thanks to technological advancement.

Amayaya musafulumire kumeza kutafuna kukukoma, this report covers 2009 up to 2014. It may be possible that the JB’s cashgate report was underestimated. Can’t you see why this she devil fred from her own country? Ndiye tisadzamve nyonyonyo PP big dogs ikadzakhala involved. Ndipo Mayaya seems to attack everythimg without reasoning. Kodi bungwe lamkulu ameneyu ntchito yake yeniyeni nchani we want to know because it seems every CSO is interested in politics not in what they were established for. Ndiponso iyeyu ndi mbuzi zi mzake akulimbana ndi mithutha ya World Bank:These CSOs are really fascinating: When Bingu was questioning some of the advices from World Bank and IMF they were labeling him as arrogant or the man who didn’t want to listen, and yet he had economic prowess(anali mthutha wa za dolar) and worked for the same economic giants and wanted to be clarified on the issues he felt not understanding. It seems these guys don’t have real direction. They just oppose and comment on things out of ignorance. Some of the advices from these international organizations are good. How special are these guys to prevent someone from seeking clarification from these organizations but only them? Can these guys show us their academic papers so that we can appreciate their economic stamina? If they are completely blank in economics they better shut up rather than brain washing people with their propaganda. To be honest MSB must go into the hands of the private sector to maximize the profits and banking competition. These so called CSOs must stop from luring us with their propaganda. Malawians some of these CSOs are counter productive. They comment on things which are not their specialty or they pretty sure know the true importance of the government’s decision but they rather choose to mislead people only to champion the same when lead by fate. For instance D. Ngoma when not in control she was in the forefront accusing Great Bingu on TBAs only to champion the same soon after topping safe motherhood in JBs rule. All that can be seen due to lack of patriotism-all of us are a problem. These CSOs know pretty sure that we are failing because of our lack of patriotism and this leads to massive corruption in the civil service, for instance the likes of M. Kwataine know that drugs are continuously stolen from government healthy facilities, Kondowe knows that government teachers drain the books and chalk either by selling them to private institutions or use them for their private pupils and T. Ntambo knows very well that money pocketed by our traffic police in form of corruption drains our confers and they all aware that the private sector especially owned by Malawians rob of government its human resource by offering them part time works. Don’t be cheated that we get less payments NO, to be honest we are a problem even those guys highly payed still go for piece works. There is need for these CSOs to lobby for civic education and even special curriculum in our schools mainly for patriotisms. Instead every one is busy fighting the politicians as if they are all established for that hence no change. No wonder they only plant jealousy, lack of hard work, corruption, division, self love and in general lack of patriotism. SELL MSB, SELL IT!!!!!, Mayaya must be objective and only comment on things his CSO was established for.
its not fair and very embarrassing to people in town and villages, imagine, we go to hospitals and see people who have just delivered to new born babies being kept outside awaiting for ambulances to take them home for two days delay with no money and as cold as it is, also people waiting for sick people in the medical yard sleeping outside due to luck of space and if you go to children yard their multitude of sick children but not enough space. listen, you cant even see your own nephew as a family at once but one at a time because of space to accommodate all due to lack of infrastructure. What pains me is that, all people involved in these cash gate issues have no idea of what really Malawians need at grass root level because they store our money and accommodate themselves to facilities better than Kamuzu central hospital hence they have no sympathy to understand and see what people are facing. I pay tax to help these people as a real Malawian and sometimes the tax is more than what i personally spend to my family, but someone steals all this and has no feeling for the poor people in hospitals, vendors that you are destroying on the markets and roads, people in prison, farmers with not even an input in cash to their farming investments, higher transport costs of living, poor road infrastructure that we getting late to work due to shortage of roads and more vehicles on roads. When we take this to the streets it has no future due to people in authorities, but one this i know is that the God we save as Malawians is faithful and just and he is to put an end to this once ad for all. remember also that we are Malawians we can not let people suffering and our taxes being used to make few people rich while millions suffering…….Its time we work out of office and face the people on the grass root and deliver as expected.
Mr prince you are a fool don’t think we don’t know what you are up to, the audit we are talking about here is the done by pwc which excludes the one done by the British firm which established that 13 billion kwacha went missing and the 577 billion being talked about here is that of Dpp era don’t divert attention Mr foolish man with your sugar coated comments
Please lets us open our eyes Malawi wil naver have good readership becouse we full dyera kadziko kakang’ono ngati kameneka ma president mbwee kumangoti multiparty ndepano mwasowa chonena mwatimuyambeya cashgate mesa kusowa mtengo wogwira kumeneko madzi akatayika sawoleka mkungotaya nthawi ndi zimenezo

All these leaders involved are from the Southern Region.
What do we say about multiparty which we voted for ?
I am bitter about the looting and i am not a supporter of any party either but people why shud the president be pinned to answer those that were authorising the payments are there at capital hill? the PSs are damn rich, scrutinise them. and how about the governor of RBM? Osamangiti president ziri zonse!
Tiyeni tilankhule ku phwesa mkwiyo. These demons seem out of reach and they will continue to suck the poor country to death. The President cant be made to answer any question even in parliament. The cash is gone!!!! Poor Malawians cannot recover it, cannot change anything because these demons in power are all too powerful for any one to reprimand. I wonder if they care whether we cry or demonstrate or we die. We shall live to see them build, buy govt. property like they’re buying usipa, they were already motivated to steal when they rigged for the high office. They pretended that they have a lot of money in diaspora. We have a lot to be worried about. How to find patriotic leaders for Malawi. How to monitor thier governance. How to make sure that our MPs not be not fall for the bribes. CSOs you can as well double the amount to scare us all the more. But what more?? It is time to close the current session of parliament. God help us!!!!
Having stupid contributions like people like Nalimata will never take Malawi anywhere.Malawi will ever remain at the base being the impoverished country in the world.Im from South but i can still feel the poverty pangs like anybody else.Nothing is working at the moment from hearing that Dpp and Pp have looted Malawi left,right and centre.99% of people in Malawi are blind.They can’t see anything wrong with all these lootings.Kuzolowera kukulira mu umphawi.Dpp and Pp should should be taken to task if they are bring sanity to Malawi.Arresting Lutepo and few others is just mere hypocrisy while leaving big fish will not solve any problems.
My tax!!!!!!!,where are you God?.This is why you are God.If I were you!……………….

DPP WOYEEE!! 500BN WOYEEE
Malawi will never get Rich & never change
I therefore put it to DPP to pay back the money, Goodall knows it better than anyone, he was heading finances by then and he still is. Arrest him if he reveals nothing.
Malawi govt checks are not only paid through IFMIS. Some govt departments have there own authorised check payments systems. Hey koma bamdulo imeneyo ndi nyo.
I feel sorry for dpp simpathisers eesh! They are so ignorant and blind they can’t reason with there heads and defend everything dpp no matter what eesh!!!
Have any of you actually read the report? It clearly demonstrates that more than 70% of this MK577 Billion was looted between 2012-2014.
DPP are not innocent by any measure but to put things into perspective. The Ministry of Health registered MK300 Billion+ in unaccounted funds in 2013 alone against a total unaccounted for money from the same ministry under DPP between 2009-2012 totaling MK4 Billion+
So when we assume who the lesser evil is lets consider that thousands of people died in Hospital in 2013 because of no medicines yet somehow MK300 Billion+ up and VANISHED! Paid out to parties who NEVER delivered ANYTHING!!!
Use your brains please!!! READ THE FUCKING REPORT BEFORE YOU BLAME DPP! ONCE READ YOU’LL REALIZE DPP are BY FAR the lesser evil.
How much did the lesser evil steal? Wakuba ndi wakuba basi
PRESIDENT Mutharika ought to do one thing: RESIGN. K533 billion was a budget for the whole year. DPP thieves please resign.
If u are living in a glass thatched house don’t throw stones at maneba
Akuluakulu, much as we love our parties but we should not love them more than our country! What is happening in Africa especially Malawi is inhuman & I equate iit to genocide. Please, lets fight for the rule of law, nobody is above the law. To have a chance to govern does not give one a right to squander the meagre reasources the way things are happening. Lets learn to fight for justice.
Chapima house igulitsidwa kachikena.
Shame. This simply shows RBM was releasing un budgeted for funds. Some ministries had govt checks of whic they could dye sign and release, like ROAD LEAVE, TF, FOREST FUND, etc. Mawa. Prompt audit is required station by station. Make it fast before their massive fleeing, suicides and juju consultations.
Uchitsilu. Peter is part of the plunderers, why shield him. Mbava. There must be comprehensive forensic audit. This country can never develop with these kinds of administrations. Dpp must go
DPP must go irespect of who is involved in the mess of these multibillions, supporting this filthy thing is tantamount to ignorance.
577 billion is lots of money..this just shows how corrupt the government is….No senior DPP serving person in this current government will be arrested since the President is also involved…its such a shame really!
Mr Mayaya or whatever they call you. This K500 billion is just a list of expenses for the government. The payments for this transaction has not been married by receipts. In government its not easy to trace every payment with receipts, therefore its the government that will produce receipts for the auditors not otherwise. So there is no need to be punic. No body will be responsible for these expenses.The German auditors will not be able to work without input of the government officials. Government do not disburse payments in cash but in cheques.These cheques and voulchers/receipts can not be at the same place. Processing documents could be at or start at capital hill while payment for that could be done here in Blantyre or Mzuzu.In short processing for one transaction could be filled in various regions or districts or offices. Watch out.
Opposition now you are down because even the one who prepare half baked data is saying that the records are just summary. No body has been mentioned. This is DPP and guys you are young , dont be emotional. DPP faced a lot of problems under PP ca not do nonsense. I am surprised why this mandesi seller was caught red handed like a baby stealing relash in his mother’s den. She is a fool. She even failed to do window dressing for her accounts. A fool that is why this fool has exciled herself in a foreign land and she fears that she can be offered as nsembe.
Iwe snoop, you are stupid. Don’t u see trilluons of kwachas going into the grave? You really don’t love Malawi. Nthawi zina kukhala chete kumathandiza than to make noise. Iam disappointed in you! Where is Malawi going?
UDF, DPP, PP achoke ku nyumba ya malamuloko
MCP must rule to bring back sanity.
And MCP tisamve kuti zigawengazi zajoina MCP
Journalists is Malawi are completely clueless, today’s stories in the newspapers were pathetic and showed that both writers and editors cannot interpret what is in that report. As if that was not bad enough, we have CSO leaders such as Mayaya showing that he is even more clueless than the journalists who reported on this report that has been submitted to even more clueless partisan parliamentarians for clueless analysis!! Mediocrity all around.
Grown men and women literally just barking, barking, barking, and barking some more for nothing!
Anthu ananena koma kusava a Malawi ndizimenezo tiyeni nazo
There is a saying by Scott Stabile which goes “It is hard to make changes when we are too busy making excuses”. Why are people making excuses in the name of scaring away donors/investors? It is you making these excuses that do not love this country. This is massive looting of government coffers and all culprits (DPP and/or PP) should be accountable and be brought to book without delay. The citizens have religiously paid their taxes and they need to be told where those taxes have been appropriated, period. If these taxes are in someone’s pocket, let justice take its course. This country is still referring cancer cases to India or South Africa; our roads are in a sorry state; our children are still learning in grass thatched schools; Chileka Air Strip is taking 3 years to be refurbished; Phalombe district does not have a district hospital years after being elevated to district status; and yet our taxes are being looted by a few individuals. Enough is enough. Mayaya has a point.

This will not go anywhere!!
It’s sad because this issue will die like that eventually
We Malawians have finally managed to beat ALL nations on earth in something. Only that this time around, this No.1 position is not something that brings pride to the nation; rather,it may be the last straw that will make donors finally pak up and disappear for good! Fellow Malawians, we need to make a collective decision and take collective action as early as yesterday! Are there no any God-fearing politicians that we can give responsibilities to run the affairs of state? God help us!
AUDITORS ALWAYS BRING CONFUSION DON’T TAKE THEIR WORD AS GOSPEL TRUTH. MALAWI DID NOT HAVE THAT MUCH MONEY. WE HAVE TO BALANCE BOTH SIDES OF THE EQUATION. CALCULATE ALL TOBACCO PROCEEDS, TAXES CAN’T AMOUNT TO THOSE BILLIONS.
Reading this article and the subsequent comments I must say that I feel sorry for Malawi. Not that because we seem to have lost MK500bn but the utter ignorance expressed by people here. Certainly it shows that 96% of you commenting here have not read the report or if you have read it then you totally don’t understand it. From the report it shows that 94% of the much talked MK500BN was lost during JB era that’s around 2013. Check and read the tables instead of just barking hate speeches against DPP and Peter!
paliso zomuwukira mayaya apa? dd mayaya carry out the audit? mwina nanunso enjoy the tax free previlege! izi ndi money zathu where were these b4 angobwera kuzatibera kumamanga nyumba ali kunja ankakanika; why? God is not your cousin it is pay back time!

Snoop, u r stupid as well. Matchona onsewa kuyambila Binguyo thieves. No matter what mwanya basi. DPP shouted so loud about 20 billion under JB haaaaa! All thieves. 577 billion! Plis plis my heart is bleeding, zoona koma. God my Lord save us from these thieves. Stop them from running this government. Goodall Gondwe stole a lot from this Agriculture subsidy and built a massion. Bingu kicked him out of cabinet ataba za FISP and zats why Agriculture is the biggest culprit, Subsidy money by Goodall. Goodall stole by himself billions, ask the Arab fertilizer suppliers, will tell u all. Joseph Mwananveka, yes ur time here now. Get ready.

Its a country that has 95% illiterate people that votes on tribal lines instead of looking at policies.The people who are leading have laboured in diaspora for several years and came to Malawi with nothing.Who told u that if somebody is lecturing in the US becomes an instant billionaire?Malawians are very sleepy people easy to manipulate .They cant grasp anything wrong since their intellectual capacity is very low from the abject poverty they have been condition too deliberately by the corrupt system.Malawians wake up.We are being led by thieves who are putting everything in their pocket.We need to overhaul the whole corrupt system.

Mayaya has done nothing wrong he’s just patriotic and that is required by every patriotic Malawian of good will
They are good at embezzling government money forgetting that it was meant for the poor Malawians

i am very angry at this. 577 billion is not just small money. if malawians will be silent on this, then its very tragic. And must be very stupit to entertain such a thing. oh cry my beloved country. oh i cry for country
My understanding is that K577 billion is the total figure resulting from anomalies and discrepancies in record keeping, not that that money actually went missing.
Once the lose ends in the records, are closed, a proper audit can then be done to establish how much was thieves. 577 bil is alot of money to vanish into personal accounts of a few.
Hey,a Malawi mwawonatu,mwawooooona. Anthu anakwanisa kubela chisankho, angakanike ndalama. Calista amanyamula zikeama pamodzi ndi petlo bingu ataganiza zokufa zija. Hey

The issue is about the president and his cabinet to command commencement of forensic auditing. The deleted entries have loads to reveal to the nation. It happened at the Acc. Gen.
I wish more people understood the Government accounting system.
Seriously speaking, the issues raised in the alleged report will be ably defended upon production of relevant documentation.
There’s no issue worth causing this much alarm here.
As Mayaya should stop acting for Malawians since he a very dull person. It apparent that he has not read the report. Him and all the CASH-GATE Graduates were on the MK 92 Billion to inhibit the JB cash gate scandals. Last week and part of this week, we were told that certain names were mentioned by the report. PW, the Germany officials have all denied.
The Auditor General has told Malawians that forensic audit should be executed that has been encore by PW. Now it may be true that Mk 577 Billion went through the books BUT is that proof of theft. I think Bill Mayaya should sit his bottom down and LEARN to analyse all the issues before he opens his dirty mouth up. Let the work begin. Why grill the President on this? This is the same tactic that you have abused, Muluzi, Jumbe etl. By going into the media without facts while the unprofessional ACB of that time took action. VERY VERY VERY SAD.
Can the National Audit Office explain how during the audits they were reconciling the bank statement to the cash book?
Apolce apa malawi munthu wakumuzi ataba nkhuku kumamuwombela ndi mfuti kupherathu koma akusi mbala zeni zeni za DDP zimene zinaba K577B shame on u mr bwampini god is watching u
Our country Malawi at the verge of collapsing. I hope we will not reach a stage of asking the atsamunda to lead us again
K577bn that is more than 50% of the cheating budget Gondwe is dangling in front of us. How can we have real development in the country if all the money is being siphoned off by these selfish thieves? Is this not the reason 51 years after independence we are the poorest in the world.
Alikuti anthu aja anavotela mbala za DDP ma US dolla aja anali kupezaka ku bed room yache muthalika ndi amenewa police use shoot to kill mbala zose za DDP
now i understand why people join boko haram and al shabab. this is very unfair guys. anthu akuvutika kunjaku
Looking at this report who is supposed to be grilled between jOyiSi and Peter? This report implicates joYiSI and her PP. After all Peter’s term is from 2014-2019.
All male culprits must be castrated while ladies must under go FGM.
Kodi which Civil Society does Mayaya lead? What Is the name of his NGO or village?
What is Mayaya’s level of education and in which area? He is too dull and misinformed all the time.
Abd inu a Nyasatimes, mwawerenga the report to call it cashgate? Inde JB ndi aunt a Editor wanu, koma be smart abd not showing your bias in public.
Mukuti Mayaya Or Muyaya Galu Wa Munthu!
Well Done!
Mayaya, as I wrote to you today, in the other forum, well done and greatly appreciated.
Zikomo…MORE FIRE!
I think many people commenting here have not seen the report. Is it Pricewater House Coopers’ report or something else? If it is PwC’s report then it implicates joyisi. This report implicates PP more than DPP. Analyze it if you have brain to analyze it and you will see what I see. Or may be it is mere hatred and jealousy that has crowded your heads. Even if it were implicating DPP, the current president could not be the right person to answer those stupid questions of yours. If you can’t follow figures then just take a look at the graphs PwC has drawn in the report and you will see joyisi and her PP’s works.
ife kono ku lilongwe ku 23 timaocha akuba ndiye aochedwe basi
Our CSOs are a bunch of ignorants. They make comments on things they are not familiar. being a CSO Chief Executive is not being an accountant or finance Officer. There are so many reasons why books of accounts do not agree. Even in the same office in which all the accounts personnel are located you find that books of accounts do not balance on monthly basis. It requires much effort for the accounts team to balance up the accounts. Then what more with government accounting machinery. They can not be balanced up even if the payments made were legally done. The accounting systems of the government is just too long. These books of accounts do get disposed after 7 years internationally. With careless of the government, books of accounts may be disposed within less than that 7 years. Thus why NSO auditors will come to trace some of the accounting records.Mr mayaya dont act out emotions. Why is that the Chewa are ver reactive these days. Look at how the Chewas are exressing themselves like Juliana Lunguzi,Jessie Kabwira. A certain Chewa from Dowa has just recently killed his wife and a child then finally taking his own life. This is very terrible.This means that Chewas are very emotional. Possibly due to tobacco smoking as main cultivators.
if one has ever worked in government as a civil servant then he or she must know what happens when it comes to swindling makobili aboma, its not all about the present but it starts from there going down, mapulezidentiwa ndiye muzingowatukwana ndithu mafana akuba ali mma office a bomamu ali pheeee, bingu did his part, jb did her part too, koma ana amakhala mma office mu ndiye amatakata zenizeni, tiyeni tizingokuwa basi, change will only start with us, not the presidents, they are politicians and you know the rest .
This is capitol hill alone. If w extend th audit to district councils, what will b th amount coz in councils its where theft of gvnt money is rampant wth payments wthout work done. Timva
Bwana pitala payepanu ndalama zikufunika baxi
577=DPP; guys enough is enough let’s get organis
Now it makes sense (I understand) why some local Prophet said the incumbent President will not finish his term of office… History is likely to repeat itself…
I think we need to be careful with the way we handle this issue. Last time when we had similar issue when JB was president we politicised the issue so much so that we lost focus. We won the battle by removing JB from office but we lost the war against corruption. While undoubtedly politician have been working with technocrats in the civil service to loot government resources, we need to focus on how to clean these weak and corrupt tendencies that allows for such things to happen in the civil service.
We can fight DPP and they can lose but as long as the system is still corrupt, we should expect nothing better!!!! Having stated that I hate the memories of campaign time when Dausi and his DPP colleagues were busy demonising JB due to the cashgate scandal while they were actually inventors of cashgate! Shame on them!
Of this K577,000,000,000.00, Joyce Banda and her PP ate K485,256,752,797.00 between 2012 until the time she lost power and run away from Nyasaland in 2014. Which means should explain where it is hiding K485 billion with Lutepo and Mpoola and DPP should account for the balance of K92 billion.
N0.4 I doubt your intelligence. Cant u c that its not Mayaya who is giving out figures. If u don’t understand/know issues under discussion don’t expose your ignorance on this forum
Chimkombaleza gumanyundo gowa,Billy Mayaya sanalembe kapena kutulutsa report li. Its Chiumia of nyasatimes writting v news and report has been produced by Pricewaterhouse Coppers. He has just commented as we are all doing.
Dear brothers&Sisters,time that we have been waiting has come its right time for President mutarika to twice,lets people act,its reminder to you all thuswhy some of us we are calling for system change, let Federal come in.
When you look at the graphs in the report it is very interesting that the suspected transactions were done between 2012 and 2014, joyisi period. And you want Nkhuyu zodya joyisi zipoti Peter? No that’s not fair. Call your mum to come to parliament and answer your questions. Peter is answerable to transactions between 2014 to 2019. That’s how it is done…… This report has shamed many DPP haters….hehehehe where is Jezebel?
paulendo basi amalawi anthuwa asamangotibela ife nkumayang,anira.anachoka ku utchina uko atauzana kuti ndalama zaphweka ku malawi.amanga zinyumba ali pa ma udindo akuno amalephera ali kunja.
zopusa basi
Dpp must go
stupid people of dpp where is the money
Give us funding so that we can continue with the forensic audit. Mayaya usangosokosera munthu wakuba iwe. Shuppitt!
Clueless Mayaya in every sense. Have you really read the report and understood it or you have been worked up by the Nation sensational and clueless today’s reporting. Why drag the President into this. Even if there was need, was the President. Is Peter the same as Bingu? Dont continue to show your ignorance inorder create hate among Malawians. You are losers and clear HATERs.
If you are a Malawian you must be proud of your country and be patriotic. Zize pano Nzatonse We only have one Malawi. It is so shocking when grown up men fight for the limelight for the wrong reasons Let Auditors do their work on this one and let the law take its course on offenders but magnifying the problem will only dent our countrys image and hurt the poor people in the villages much more by scaring donors. I do not belong to any political party but which party in Malawi has “saints” most of our politicians are THIEVES. Let us give the DPP a chance to redeem itself and be accountable by having a credible opposition that has the welfare of Malawian at heart and not one driven by greed and envy
Did DPP give Amayi and PP a ‘chance to redeem themselves’? Should we worry about the country’s image when it is DPP in the wrong? (and what image are we talking about – Malawi is the typical banana republic). Were poor people only hurt by PP cashgate but not by DPP cashgate?
Please do not pretend as if you are impartial. All along you people have been acting holier than thou. Only now do you realise that ALL our politicians are thieves?
In any case I don’t think you have anything to worry about: The DPP can plunder public coffers as much as they like, murder innocent people like Chasowa and demonstrators, make the lives of Malawians hell at RTD and through fuel shortages, enact senseless laws etc etc and nothing happens to them. Instead, for all the mayhem DPP creates, they are rewarded by being voted back to power – to continue from where they left off…the only thing DPP has to worry about is infighting among themselves but in everything else they are untouchable.
Why are you so emotional? Were you part of joyisi cashgate? You seem to have so much hatred in you that is eating you to the head. Read the fucked report and you will see that it is again your joyisi and pp that are implicated. Almost 98% of the missing money is between 2012 and 2014…..hehehehehe chamunyerera chipako uyo akulira.
Guys this is too much. Our money going like that mmmmmmm something must be done as soon as possible to bring the culprits to book. DPP was talking about the k20b cashgated during JB rule as if they are saints. But look now! Civil society organization must stand their ground to make sure that DPP is not running away from this scandal. I know their gimmicks. The will create something soon to remove people’s attention from this scandal. We should not allow some few individuals to be millionaires or billionaires overnight through the dubious means.
This shows that the whole Malawi government system is corrupt. Start from top to bottom the whole government is corrupt. Now I understand why Joyce Banda was ousted. This shows that the Lady couldn’t have won the fight against corruption because even her own cabinet, the judiciary was corrupt. This is serious. K577billion, is a lot of money. We could constructed about 9 storey buildings. We could have constructed about 2x 200km 6-way Highways. Or we could have constructed another 2x Polytechnic colleges, or we could have constructed about 2x Referral Hospitals. Or we could have invested that money to about 3x Manufacturing companies. But no! The whole money went to build Ndata and its Mpumulo wa Bata. Muthalika must be shame of himself. I don’t even understand how this president got energy to go the public.
Ndizimenezotu a Malawi. Tiyeni ti matche apa. Osazengereza, tieni timatche basi.
If this figure of Mk577 billion proves to be true then it is the mamoth economic sabotage and qualifies to be the biggest national tragedy that may call for an urgent action from the government as it under mines the trust the citizens and donors have on our accounting and supervisory capabilities.
nde WINA nkumati DPP woyeee!!!??
za manyi basi
Ndiye kuti more than half ya budget ya dziko lino ili matumba a DPP ndi PP.
No donor need to resume aid to Malawi government. There is no point.
Peter Muthalika and DPP must pay for this,K577 billion its alot of money
BOMA LA ZIPHWISI ZOKHAZOKHA,
Linda madzi apite iwe ndipo uziti ndadala
I think the bulk of these anomalies could be attributed to petty mistakes that civil servants are fond of making in the accounts, where records are not updated, or personalised. Discrepancies between bank payments and cash book entries are a common thing in most organizations where the checking system is weak. By this, I don’t mean to portray a picture that funds were not abused
Zili choncho musawasiye anavuta munthawi ya Joyce Banda ———let them go shaaaaaaaaaaaaa kuba kuomola kusesa kuchapa kutapa kuheda komayaaaaaaaaaa alibwana agwiritse
Cashgate the DPP style. Now I do understand why we had fuel shortages!
It is premature to summon the president to parliament on the issues of cashgate before the full report.
We need the full report as soon as possible with names intact
Aah!! MK577billion. Impossible Malawi is not be that rich to lose this huge amount of money. No way. Thats insanity.
Please, can we have all government accounts personnel,Authorising officers arrested now. We have gross negligence, incompetence and mother of all frauds here.
Inspector General of Police can you act now before they run away.
Spa ndiye Mulli agwidwapo spa salephelekaso, moti iyeso wangoziwilatu kuti zaipa.
Mayaya I have noted that you have started lying to us. I have even lost trust in your writings. You seem to be writing thins out of blues. Today you tell us 92 billion tomorrow you tell us 577 billion which is which. don’t excessively dent our country for the sake of denting it. By the way has your organisation been audited?
Read report man before commenting
It’s not Mayaya you fool. It’s pcw. Why are you scared? I guess you could be one of the beneficiaries. Akufinyani dikirani. Mesa mumasangalala chili pa Joyce Banda! Munya muona kkkkkk.
Ndiye pa joyisipo chachoka? Read the report and it implicates joyisi and her PP. Analyze the graphs in the report and you will see that joyisi is the most culprit.
Shaa
enough is enough DPP must go.
Mxm!!!?!
