Kamlepo hits back at Kaliati: ‘She is barking like one of the 7 cashgate ministers’

Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of Parliament vice-chairperson Kamlepo Kalua has hit back at Minister of Information, Communications Technology and Civic Education Patricia Kaliati for insulting his family, saying Kaliati is barking at him as one of the seven rotten ministers implicated in the recent forensic audit report.

Kaliati has been flat out attacking Kalua  who has been vocal in demanding the dismissal of the said seven Cabinet ministers named in the forensic audit report covering the period 2009 to December 2014 which established that about K236 billion and not K577 billion in public funds as initially estimated could not be accounted for.

The minister, who is also government spokesperson, said Kalua, who is also Rumphi East Member of Parliament (People’s Party-PP) and PP third vice-president, has dug the grave of his late mother, insinuating that the lawmaker exhumed the body of his late mother and used it for rituals.

Kalua said Kaliati “is out of her senses” to make such remarks.

“This is a cheap politics aiming at silencing me from pressurizing President Peter Mutharika to fire all cabinet Ministers involved in the K236 billion cash gate,” he disclosed.

He went on to say Kaliati is “suspecting herself” to be among the seven rotten ministers,

Kalua hinted amongst the seven cashgate ministers, there is a woman.
