Lutepo on bail, appears in K92bn ‘audit query’

Businessman and cashgate suspect Oswald Lutepo’s  has been granted bail on tax evasion charges after he was taken ill  at Kamuzu Central Hospital but his cashgate tainted companies  appear also in the K92 billion DPP-era cashgate “audit querry.”

Lutepo: At the centre of cashgate scandal
Lutepo: At the centre of cashgate scandal

His lawyer Oswald Mtupila said his client remains  unwell as he is “still complaining of some chest and back pains. He has also complained of some breathing problems.”

Lutepo has accepted wrong doing in the plunder of public resources and apologised to the nation through the media, saying his companies were simply used as conduits.

He implicated former president Banda for benefitting part of his stolen money. Banda has since shot down the claims, saying they are “malicious” and calculated to drag her in the mud of cashgate.

But a look into the K92 billion audit query during the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) era under late president Bingu wa Mutharika, Lutepo’s name is prominently featured through his companies.

A certificate of registration number 87745 issued under the Business Names Act shows that Lutepo employed a capital of K500, 000 when he started the business in 2005 whose nature is indicated as “general trading.”

He also registered his own airline to fly people and goods across the country.

Lutepo registered Heart Air on November 13, 2012. The Registrar entered it under number 157286. He also obtained an air service permit from the Department of Civil Aviation to run domestic scheduled and non-scheduled passenger and cargo services. The permit under ASP 005/2012 was granted on November 21, 2012.

The permit allowed Lutepo to operate an ATR 42-500 aircraft for a start.

Further investigations reveal that on January 21, 2013, Lutepo entered into discussions with Premium Aviation Services of South Africa to charter an aircraft and crew. The charter was under what is technically called wet-lease.

He  set off as a clearing clerk at Surfair Freight Limited, a privately owned clearing company. He established his first company, OSK Clearing Agency, in 2001.

Lutepo  now  has a litany of established companies under his belt. They include: Naming’omba Tea and Macademia Estates Limited, Chloride Batteries Limited, Spare Giants Limited, O and G Construction Company, WOGET Cooking Oil Company, WOGET Cotton Ginning Company Limited and Flexi Mail Limited.

The audit query on K92 billion shows Lutepo’s companies in it.

German government provided funding for the forensic audit of K92 billion, but  Malawi government has not outlined the progress and roadmap to ensuring that the audit is done.

But Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB)  has said it cannot investigate the K92 billion cashgate because Parliament through the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) recommended they first clear the 2013 loot before conducting audit of the K92 billion.

ACB Deputy Director, Reyneck Matemba told PAC members on Monday that the Bureau has no file on the K92 billion cashgate that happened between 2009 and 2012.

He however indicated that compliance with PAC recommendations will not discredit their efforts as an independent body.

“PAC did not and has never stopped us from investigating the K92 billion audit query. What PAC made was a recommendation and not a direction and, besides, that recommendation was made not only to the ACB, but to the National Audit Office, the Financial Intelligence Unit and the Fiscal and Fraud Unit of the Malawi Police Service,” Matemba said.

He therefore said forensic audit on K92 billion cashgate can only be tackled after the current cashgate trials are concluded.

The K92 billion cashgate was exposed by the National Audit Office (NAO).

The infamous cashgate forced co-operating partners to withhold their budget support to Malawi.

  1. This story doesn’t make good reading. The writer didn’t have a concise story to proffer. It’s just about Lutepo being given bail and nothing else.
    Green Muheya, how can you say Lutepo is mentioned in K92bn and also say ACB may not even investigate? So, which investigation are you alluding to as having Lutepo’s companies appearing in?
    See, many people read Nyasa Times including intellectuals, so put up comprehensive articles that have gist. This trash is for semi-educated crowds who swallow hook, line and sinker without digestion. Stop this bull shit as they say silence is golden!
    Don’t throw media ethics to dogs….!

  2. ACB MUST DECLARE THAT IT HAS FAILED TO CARRY OUT ITS DUTIES FOR THE INTEREST OF INOCENT CITIZENS.HOW THEY CAN Ignore Huge Amount Like That.ITHINK THEY ARE UNPROFFESIONED BECAUSE THEY AREWORKING WITHTHEINFLUENCE OF POLITICIANS.ACB IS AN INDEPENDENT BODY THEREFORE ANYONE INVOLVED IN DPP And PP CASHGATE SHOUILD BE BROUGHT TO BOOK.OTHER WISE ACB MUST BE RESHUFFLED.

  3. Why should ACB say that they may not investigate in the alleged 92billion saga? just for the recommendation made by parliament?the constitutions clearly say that you should be independent,far from any interference ,if you say so then it may just bring a picture that all the cases are. Being driven by political influence

  4. Let us jst unite and do what Ppl of BURKINAFASO did recentlly bcz this adminisration will take us nowhere only to come to a standstill a few days ahead.

  5. Its hard to comprehend, let alone put it in practice but believe me, Malawi will and i say it again will and will only change if in 2019 we change MPs, President,Ps,City ChiefExecutes, i mean changing not recycling. Ndikukuwuzani Malawi azasintha!! Palibe politician wakale yemwe pano mtingakhulupire,as for cashgate i know these people being accused now are just a piece of the iceberg, vuto amalawi we are not very united and organised as we ought to be WAKEUP WAKEUP MY MOTHERLAND.

  6. These r the pipo that r creating abad image of our country.Malawi is becoming poor n poor coz of such pipo..If this gorverment wil bring out all thoze involved in cashget we are safe but if it doesn,t just know that they are birds of the same feathers meaning kut tinabesa vote satithandiza

  7. mpaka air company? 1person? How come? Lutepo shal never stop to amaze me. Ooh! What a necodemus is this? He has questionable extreme worth. Mngwakubadi uyu ndamudziwa. Adali mphawi uyu kumwanza kuno ndi ka clearing company kake. He changed from no where. How come? Zatheka bwanj?

  8. mpaka air company? 1person? How come? Lutepo shal never stop to amaze me. Ooh! What a necodemus is this? He has questionable extreme worth.

  9. I think Malawians can be fooled easily or one is fattening his or her wallet for diverting attention.Lutepo is Director of Resource Mobilization for the outpositioned party,and evidence is pointing blank why he was assigned the task.If donors have suspended theirs its because of the infamous abitigate of which the archtecht is being hidden by the drum beaters whose every beaten drum abiti danced,jetbarter,devaluation and floatation,Albashir saga,etc..etc..and the shame of Bweka Tilly producing report without names before elections and after elections updating it ridiculously shame!!!TAIWERENGA MUISOVATU IMENEYO!

  10. The 92 billion fraud is the real cashgate. Actually the real figure is much higher than 92 coz late Bingu got more than 90 and so what about the civil servants some of them who even own tv stations. I have a friend who works as an accounts clerk who between 2006 and 2012 built 4 houses, bought 4 vehicles, flew 4 times to USA and Europe. He has no business or any other form of income sources apart from his clerical jib in civil service. This 92 should thoroughly be investigated. Anyamata oponda kalikonse apart from kusolola kumatishayinila mutaunimu………very unfair.

  11. Martha Kwataine akufunika support ya mabungwe ena. Mzimayiyu watsala yekha woima pa chilungamo. Anzake onse aja adya mabanzi.

  12. Lets the hope the donors will stand their ground. No budgetary support without a thorough investigation on all cash gate cases starting in 2005. Please donors do not be hood winked by this administration. The looting of state resources continues and do not let it happen during your watch. This administration is not serious about dealing with corruption in this country. If your country’s tax payers know about this how would you be treated? We know you have good intentions but please do not allow those intentions blind you. we support your demands and we will vigilantly continue exposing corruption in this country.

  13. Wihi!
    Nayoni nkhani guys.
    Mayi Namathanga Senzani anayamba kumanga Mansion yawo kuno ku Lilongwe mu 2009 ndipo inamalizika mu 2010, two years before JB became president.

    Anthu ambirimbiri ananjata nyumba zawo zapamwamba munthawi ya Bingu ndipo ena amamanga pamwamba pamadzi kusonyeza makobidi

    ngakhale ku Ministry of Lands ndi ku Finance anthu ambiri anatenga nawo mbali pa cashgate koma boma linangoti zii ndiye mumati chani?

    Mbava zokhazokha muno mu Lilongwe zosakaza chuma cha boma.
    Shame

  14. Bwanji akulu akulu amene anapeza ma udindo mu Boma ochokela ku Kasungu ndi akuba koma osamangidwa kupeza umboni bwino bwino ungowona palibe chikuchitika.

  15. Lutepo was used by JB to siphon money through his companies,right? So for who were his companies used in the 92 billions? We may conclude he is the architech of the gates and sold his ideas to their excellencies! If this is true,the man has a persuassive tongue. Judging from his “confessions”, he is can sell you sand for rice with his silver teaspoon talk. Malawi,how are you?

  16. JB would not have picked a key cashgater just off the streets: She needed someone who already had experience (under DPP). Some of us have been ‘barking, barking and barking some more’ that PP cashgate used the DPP template. You cannot say PP were clueless but then in the same breath claim that they were clever enough to dream up cashgate. There was already a modus operandi, and people, carried over from DPP. Even if you talk of the buses at Ministry of Tourism – DPP also used the same ministry for its campaign bus(es).

    Lutepo, Senzani and other cashgaters stole more money under DPP than they did under PP. The evidence is that they amassed most of ‘their’ property under Bingu than under JB. Everything must be investigated – no selective justice.

    Now think back to these Lutepo statements in his Zodiak interview: “…zimenezi kunalibe m’mbuyomu, koma pa nthawi ya mai Joyce Banda”, “…zimandikhudza ndi kamaganiza kuti ku chipatala kulibe aspirin…chifukwa abale anga olo ine ndemwe ndiye kuti sindilandira chithandizo…” [mtsonyo!].

    The guy knows he has been stealing without a conscience since the Bingu days. He became a kwacha billionaire through stealing public funds and not through any genius of his…Fotseki!

  17. this goes worse and more,so lutepo ventured in all these businesses using our vat money, the taxes we are deducted everymonth.

  18. ACB is full of stupid people who do know what to do. Why focusing on k20b and leaving a k92,b scam unattended to? One day people will smoke out all stupid ACB Staff. We know that you wait for the president and his DPP to tell you what to do. You are not independent at all. We know that and you can not cheat us.

  19. Yes. I can see why donors are not prepared to help our country’s budget. In fact it seems donors know us more than we know each other here.

    Citizen

  20. Germany has provided the government with resources for the forensic audit of 92bn.I don’t see the reason why ACB should wait for the conclusion of Cashgate cases before embarking on 92bn.Did the handling of Cashgate wait for the conclusion of Muluzi’s 1.2bn case?

  21. By the way, where did he get all these monies and what type of business does he do to acquire all these monies? The problem here is that even the presidents steal from ordinary malawians as such there is no control over the govt purses. How can a single person registers an air company? All these namingomba etc ……. ???? and remain free, given five star reception everywhere even in the cells?

  22. JB muthu olephera bwanji osazenga mlandu onse amene amakhuzika ndi 92 billion pamene anali pampando?

    Amangofuna aipake matope Dpp

  23. Should we say his companies were also being used by DPP/Bingu/Mathanyulayu as conduits to syphone our money from goverment coffers? I guess yes since it works like that and hope Lutepo will fearlessly mention it that you were sent by Bingu. Koma iwe ndiwe satana weniweni.

  24. Tiyambe Kaye 20 billion chifukwa ndiye chinatsitsa dzaye kuti Njovu ithyoke nyanga
    Ngati rumor ya 92 billion ndizowona ndiye kuti Joyce Banda ali mmadzi chifukwa munthawi imeneyi anali Vice President it could be possible that its when she learned her cashgating skills
    It never rain but pours @ Joyce Banda

  25. If you take a closer look you will see that the above mentioned bodies are all corrupt! so it will be difficult to handle these issues very well.

  26. We knew ife lutepo sanayambe kuba Mu pp Koma Mu dpp government others are mansangwi, Mulli, henry mussa, Patricia kaliati, Peter and bingu muntharika, Goodall gondwe, Callista muntharika and many more

  27. K92 billion and K20 billion which is immaterial and material between the two? There is no way you can cheat Malawians with what you are saying coz the first Cashgate was reported by NAO way back before Bingu died but it was put under carpet cover by the DPP lead government to cover itself.Your Cash- gate is 4 times much bigger than the one which Joice Banda uncover through her iniciative and now you want to mud-sling her with your bogus evidence from your Lutepo guy. Come on be serious coz each and every Malawian knows that the Pioneers of Cash-Gate are DPP. PAC and ACB we are waiting for your prompt action and not these rubbish NTHANOS. Malawians are suffering and yet you are buisy championing political partisan where you seem to be treating others with kids gloves and trying to persecute the other- Shame on you!!!!!!!

  28. Tell us the amount Lutepo and his companies are rumoured to have swindled in the 92 Billion query? Just a reminder don’t forget JB started supporting late Bingu after she noted that the 2005 Bingu was arresting people involved in many corruption scandals. She (JB) and her construction company were mentioned in The Chronicles of 2005’s article of companies which took money from government to construct schools and teacher’s houses but never built them. It appeared political then but look now. Lutepo was greedy and ended up in this mess. the big fish is JB herself.

  29. Koma yah anthu mwaba ku Malawi eishhhhh…….mumangowoneka m’mataunimu mukuguza njale zobvuta, madeni okwiya kani nkhani yake mumangoba on the expense of poor Malawians, u deserve to rot in jail

  30. Lutepo is a DPP sell out. Why can’t JB reveal how Bingu & Peter stole 92 billion? We all know that Bingu & Peter are big thieves; MHC HOUSES 62 billion & 92 billion on their head. Why pretend that Peter is a saint? What is Difference between DPP & PP after all? They are one; a bunch of Thieves. Why support Thieves; Peter, JB, Atupele & Muluzi?

  31. Lutepo, you recently told the public that JB is the one who sent you to steal our billions in this 2012/2013 cashgate. Now your name also appears in the 92bn cashgate done under DIphiphi government, tell us pliz who sent you to steal these billions in the first Diphiphi regime, is it JB again, late Bingu or Pitala? Should Malawians trust you Lutepo. I think you deserve death. We don’t want tbe fooled becoz ur stupidity. Who sent you pliz to do this terible thing to Malawias.

  32. PAC and ACB are also involved in that K92B CASHGATE THAT IS WHY THEY ARE RELUCTANT TO PURSUE THIS SCANDAL

  33. why to conclude the latter first yet there is another K1.7b which need to be concluded? Paralysed arms of government

  34. Whats wrong with we Malawi? Stealing our own country money, should we say is selfish or what? What kind of oppressive is that? But do you think for some other people who need help from government through hospital, school e.t.c

  35. Tou can now see when pipo were saying this guy is a friend to JB AND PETER WITH BOTH PARTIES ATTACHED.These pipo are not supposed to be ruling,i don’t know why we Malawians still support JB AND PETER .PETER MUST BE STOPPED FROM RULING THIS COUNTRY.ANTHU AKUMWERA KHALIDWE LAWO NDI LAKUBA BASI NKUONA ALI AULESI NDI WOZIZIRA MU NZERU OR ANGAPHUNZIRE .MUKUONA MMENE AMAGANIZIRA PETER,SAKHALA NGATI ANAPHUNZIRA.

  36. The presence of Lutepo’s name in the Mk92 bil case vindicates Joyce Banda’s claims that cash gate started during Bingu’s era and her government simply inherited it.

  37. I AM IN THE SWIM TO THE UNFOLDING PLUNDER OF THESE ORGANISED GOVERNMENT CRIMINALS.RECENT NEWS SHOWD DAT PRICE WATER HOUSE WAS SUPOSE TO AUDIT DE 92BN CASE.PLS LET THEM DO DE JOB ASAP.THIS IS A CRIMINAL CASE AND NOT A CIVIL CASE.SO THE EARLIER DE BETA.OPOSITION WAKE UP FROM SLUMBER

  38. And now we are supposed to believe Oswald saying he was only being used? To be used once may be called a mistake but twice??? Stupidity, its what it is. He fooling us into believing he was an innocent victim of political machinations that conspired to use him in stealing govt money.

  39. A ACB mutiuze bwino, do you mean you can’t run two cases concurrently? I know ACB would not like to crash with their authorities.

  40. This is a big joke, you mean you can’t follow up both of these cases simultaneously? Why not? Now if we wait for the current cases to finish at the pace you are going, when will that be? 2020? And Germany government has given you cash to investigate this now so they can unlock the donations but you are saying no wait a minute Germany ! We gonna do it but not now. This is Peter Mutharika directing all this.

    I thought this Machinga ACB lady Kachale was up to the task but alas am fast losing trust in her.

    Malawi! Malawi kumvesa chisoni bwanji…no rule of law. ..

  41. That’s bullshit. How can they say there’s no file of K92billion looting? I smell some foul play here. Infact the two cashgates can be investigated concurrently.

  42. Lutepo should humbly face judgement accordingly. This is the mass killing of innocent people. God is merciful that He has reveal the secrets. Forget not that there is a law of saw and harvest,now is a time to harvest what you planted. People are dying in hospitals due to lack of drags and health facilities while you are the source you vile man. Ask for forgiviness to God and face judgement here on earth. Instead of subsdyising the agricultural equipments that could benefit Malawians. Anthu odzikonda inu ana a mamba.

  43. Donors will not come back till all cashgate investigation report from 2009 is available and justice is observed.

  44. IF REVERAND CHAKWERA WAS VOTED AS MALAWI PRESIDENT IN LAST MAY 2014 GENERAL ELECTIONS, SOMEHOW THE MK20 BILLION JB CASH GATE,THE MK92 DPP AND LATE BINGU CASH GATE,THE MK61 BILLION LATE BINGU PERSONAL CASH GATE, THE MK1.7 BILLION BAKILI MULUZI OVER 8 YRS OLD DONOR MONEY CORRUPTION COURT CASE COULD ALL HAVE BEEN CONCLUDED BY NOW.GIVEN THAT THE CURRENT PRESIDENT HAS EQUALLY LONG AND DIRTY HANDS JUST LIKE HIS LATE BROTHER BEFORE HIM, HE HAS ALREADY DEMONSTRATED IN HIS FIRST SEVEN MONTHS TO THE WHOLE WORLD AS TO WHICH SIDE HE BELONGS??????????????

    LET OUR DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS KEEP ON HOLDING TO THEIR DONOR MONEY, MALAWIANS SHOULD CONTINUE SUFFERING ECONOMICALLY UNTIL THE SAME MALAWIANS WHO SENT PETER MUTHALIKA TO STATE HOUSE FORCE HIM TO DO WHAT IS REQUIRED BY THE DONORS.THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE MOST OF THE STUPID AFRICAN LEADERS ( WHO UNFAIRLY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE ILLITERACY AND POVERTY LEVELS OF THEIR SUBJECTS) TO DO THE RIGHT THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    SHOULD THERE BE ANY MALAWIAN OUT THERE WHO DOES NOT KNOW OR MERELY PRETENDS NOT TO KNOW THE RIGHT THING THAT PETER MUTHALIKA SHOULD HAVE DONE BY NOW THEN THAT MALAWIAN SHOULD GO TO HELL!!!!!

  45. Was it Obierika, Okonkwo`s father, in the book Things Fall Apart (by late Professor Chinua Achebe, who said the sun shines on those who are standing before it shines on those who are seated of something of the sort? Just like he drew lines on the wall, the height of the line proportional to the amount of debt he owed and laughed his lungs out when an “unfortunate” man with a short line (small debt owed) came to claim his dues! If we were to borrow Obierika`s sound logic, it does not add up to sweep under the carpet the K92B cashgate and sweat out for K13B/20B! Something is seriously wrong. And if K92B raised no eyebrows at all and was a mere enquiry then for goodness sake WHY are we wasting time with peanuts K20B? Or am I the only stranger here. And we expect the donors to dance to our tune of “K92B was enquiry but we will only chase K20B”? Which stupid donor would take us seriously? You mean the whole lot of members of Malawi Parliament in general and PAC in particular are all sleeping on this? My foot!!! And by the way, I heard Beautify Malawi is now touting chants of women empowerment and girl power stuff of the sort: but wait a minute, haven`t we already heard of that from JB. Beautify Malawi, stick to beautify Malawi…. Ndangodutsamo ine, pano ndibwere kuuna kwanga. KKKKK

  46. I am baffled that ACB says they will first conclude the cashgate cases before tackling the 92 billion case. Does ACB already know how long it will take to conclude the cashgate cases? So if it takes 20 year to conclude cashgate cases, then the already old 92 billion case will enjoy a 20 year break before anyone looks at it? Whatever happened to doing things concurrently? ACB is so single directional in its operations that any amount of multi-pronged approach to cases is impossible? I pity my country!

  47. ACB don’t play around with Malawian minds.Looting of MK13 Billion and MK92 Billion are VERY Serious issues and should be treated as such.Please expedite investigations into MK92 Billion as Malawian tempers are high, do not wait for conclusion of MK13 Billion. Both cases can be pursued concurrently as one seems to be the genesis of the other. GET ON THE JOB FAST!!! WORK INDEPENDENTLY!!!!

  48. My observation is the toothless and biased ACB is under instructions not to move an inch into the K92B DPP scandal. But I have a word for ACB, you can delay justice but you will not manage to stop it. One day we will know the truth about this case. We suffered long queues for almost every commodity we wanted to buy because of these selfish DPP idiots and someone has the audacity to water this issue down. You will not succeed in this drive.

  49. I THOUGHT THINGS GOES IN THIS LINE 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 AND NOT IN THIS WAY 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1.PLEASE DO NOT TAKE IT FOR GRANTED THAT MALAWIANS ARE SLEEPING, THEY ARE JUST WAITING FROM YOU AND YOUR GVT PLUS THE RULING PARTY DPP TO LOOOK INTO THIS IN A RIGHT ANGLE.

    START WITH UDF, DPP, PP AND DPP ——– OK

    AVOID CORRUPTIONS IN ANY CASE.

  50. He will survive prison dont wory. Akaidi ena akudwalaso ku ndende.mugamuleni akalowe. Samadwala ndrama zikukoma bwanji?adwale lero?

  51. Who are you going to implicate in the 92bn kwacha Cashgate? Was Your company again used as conduit? For who?

  52. WHY NOT FINISH ALL TOGETHER,WHY WAIT , ABALE UMAYISIYA MBAVA YAKALE OSAIGWIRA KUNENA KUTI AGWIRABE MUKUYIWONA ZOONA,

  53. Let an independent audit firm (like Baker Tilly or or any other) audit the 92 bn MK scam, and leave ACB concentrate on pursuing the current 13 bn MK culprits. The money for this has already been provided by Germany. There is no reason for waiting except for fear of exposing the wickedness of DPP. We should not put on hold the auditing of the earlier and larger financial scam when money has been made available and other independent firms are also available to do the job. It is not ACB which investigated the 13 bn MK scam – it was an independent British firm using British money. DPP ndi mbava heavy. Now that Osward Lutepo also features heavily in the 92 bn MK scam, who shall he implicate? Who was he a conduit for? The theft of the 13 bn MK was a continuation of DPP’s plunderning scheme. If DPP was still ruling, Malawi would never have known anything about this organized theft. Thanks that God gave us Dr JB, albeit for a period, to reveal and clear the dirt.

  54. IF THE JOB IS TOO MUCH FOR YOU GUYS GIVE IT TO SOME AUDITORS WHO CAN DO THE JOB PLEASE PLEASE !!!

    PEOPLE OUT THERE ARE WAITING TO SEE AND HEAR THE OUTCOMES OF THE 2 CASHGATES

    NOW THE FUNDING IS AVAILABLE ; SO WHY THE DELAYS ????

  55. Nyasatimes is mixing the 2 issues : cashgate is direct fraud while an audit query may be as result of mispostings,accounting errors of omissions or commissions or discrepancies,not excluding fraud. In case of accounting errors the controlling officer is asked to explain the audit querry,while is reported to law enforcement agency eg police or acb, straight away.

  56. Nkhani zinazi ndizopweteketsa mutu ndalama zathu ndiye zimaseweretsedwa, pano dziko lathu likusauka chifukwa cha kusakhulupirika ka atsogoleri athu.

  57. When Germany offered funds for an audit Malawians of substance thought the donors were expressing their resolve to hold aid until the whole mess (the 92 and 20) is sorted out. Reading this sends shock currents in my brains. Where did we go wrong. Could it be that we Malawians are inherently foolish. What can stop us from dealing with both issues at the Same Time. Are You People really independent or Just plain stupid. People are suffering out their and You are playing games with their lives.Is it because they are docile and cowards.

  58. K92 billion will be investigated with Dr. Lazarous Chakwera as President of Malawi in 2019.
    So no worry.
    Kodi Mphwiyo belo amupatsa?

  59. Go ahead wth both cases because Germany govt is waiting after funding the exercise.U need to hurry up becoz malawians r suffering

  60. Whaaa…aat?So if the 2013 loot trials take 50 yrs to conclude that is when you will commence K92 billion loot business?What an incompetent PAC!Why not establish a special structure to deal with both stinking cases simultaneously,with all that funding!PAC don’t think like maggots.

  61. An explanation is required why we have to wait until the cashgate investigations are concluded before embarking on the mighty MK92.0bn theft. One thing i want to find out from the authorities, is ACB going to ignore all other cases until this task is done.

  62. What a wrong move! Time is running out and over time, people forget or die, some thieves may escape, property could be disposed of, and evidence may be destroyed. You have the money, it makes no sense to wait. Mind you, under late Bingu Wa Mutharika, there was neither political will nor funds to conduct a clean Investigation. Now that the funds are available from Germany, is tantamount to being foolish. Malawi has nothing to lose by Investigating the looted K92 billion now. Donors know that DPP if not the previous governments laid the tracks for looting, otherwise DPP would be struggling for funds. They are one of the richest parties. How did they get so rich as a party and so soon (within 7 years)? Malawians did not call for this economic strife upon themselves. Their strife is now and they are not spared the suffering. Investigate the K92 billion now. This is not different from being invaded by another country in terms of economic woes. It would not make sense to say lets wait after discovering a new invasion from a different front has commenced. Treat this as a State of Emergency because Financial Alqueda has infiltrated the ranks is destroying, as we dress up to talk and talk and talk in our PACs. The Financial enemy has attacked and taken hostage many Malawians, so why are you waiting to counter attack to rid your country of these brutes? Malawi is worse off than Rwanda who went through a genocide, Mozambique that survived a long drawn war, and Somalia without a government for many years. Yet Malawi has not had any such ravaging and plundering forces.

  63. I cry for my beloved country it’s being ruled by thugs who the nation is entrusting to catch other thieves…it’s one camp just different stage and days. Eliminate all if u really want to catch the cash gate thieves.

  64. No aid until the MK92bn is audited . ACB and Pariament are now playing fools. Whom are you trying to cheat ? Donors ? If you used donors money to build villas in overseas and you lived lavish life to an extent of using the stolen money to bribe Maxon Mbendera , judges , security officer and teachers in order to rig general elections the owners have released billions in order to have a full report from 2005 until 2012 how their money was misused.

    Maltird Katopola will be mentioned that she was one of the beneficiaries who were supplying tippers towards the construction of New Pariament under a fictions company and she was drowing million per month. The whole colony of DPP will go to prison, there will be totally a new government in control.
    Strikes are the ones to destroy this rigged government and not even any of the so called presidential advisers are pumping any sense in the APM’s head , there is more fear and sleepless nights among DPP members because what they expected it’s not what they are seeing at all. Life is not the same and they are not sure as to finish the five year term.
    The topic of FEDERALISM is a worste topic which DPP is very much worried with. There is a total confusion in DPP than enjoyment among the DPP members because they know that their days are numbered and life is to short for them to survive.

    We are being told that APM is thete to safeguard the constitution , what will happen is follow his brother’s style of leaving the office.

    Do we need TBJ to prophesies ? What we are seeing is what will happen. No more crooks from Southern Region will want to be the presidents of Malawi . The God given Chakwera will rule Malawi , be assured of that.

  65. Lutepo betrayed a lot of Malawians and if we may ask, WHO also was the main beneficiary in the K92 Billion plunder?
    This guy has all the much needed information on cash gate and i do not see any reason why all the investigators involved are wasting much of the time. Squeeze his balls he will come out!!!

  66. OK. So we have two loads of shit in the house. What these bwanas are saying is they say let us sweep this one out then later we sweep the other one. Uve ndithu. Timasesera pamodzi osati zamabodzazo. Fotseki.

  67. Kodi mmesa judiciary staff are on strike? Bail yaperekedwa how? What about the other people that are remanded at Maula/Chichiri coz of the judiciary strike? aMalawi tilibe chikondi olo pang’ono. Give everyone bail, let us be fair to one another

  68. If during JBs reign Lutepo was being used by PP to cashgate money, why is he appearing again in the 92b Kwacha cashgate during UDF and DPP error? Shud we say he was being used as conduit by UDF and DPP? Now we see that Lutepo is a crook!. He is the author of cashgate.Shud not implicate JB.

  69. Both cases should go concurrently.Why living the 92 billion just because Dpp is in the govt?
    Lutepo on bail.So the cashgate thief has made a second thought of not finishing himself to chew the remaining looting.He was just playing drama and looking for sympathy from gullible Malawians.

  70. PAC is full of dpp members the same people who are in the 92bn eating scandal do u think they can say ‘go ahead with the investigations’ ACB u better resign. we see u `r operating under dpp instructions.

  71. Iwe # 1, which case should first be concluded?
    Cashgate yaziwika nthawi ya abiti , so palibe zoti tisiye zomwe taziwonazi ndi report la Baker tikayambe zakale kufufuza mpaka tizamalize report lilembedwe ndiye liti limenelo? Mwauponda ambwebu inu.
    Wakutumaniyo mukamuwuze ndiwautsiru, wozikonda, wadyera, sidzinamtole, chindele, wodyamatako agalu.
    Kuzikonda bwanji enanu? Abiti akutuma eti? Kodi abiti ali kuti? Kkkkkkkkkkkk.
    Akanabweratu atithansize kudya nawo bonyayu. Afuna mpaka season yabonya ithe osamulawa?

    1. @ Ambuje

      Just listen to yourself. Do you have all the senses properly functioning?. having people like you in Malawi is the worst thing that has ever happened to this country. Too childish and stupid. These are serious matters and comment on them with such stupidity?. Go and hung you sycophant

  72. Lutepo should rot in jail ndi ntchito zake!! PAC and ACB musayambe kuchuluka nzeru. There’s no difference between these two casgates,you must start working on this K92bn mmediately,

  73. If it was in Europe,Lutepo would have been in jail by now!!! Why are you giving a bail to this culprit? Let her rot in jail ndi ntchito zake!!

  74. PAC and ACB: Is that the way to deal with issues of national importance like these two cases? Why wait for conclusion of the latest scandal yet the former scandal has not been concluded? What would hinder you from pursuing both cases at the same time? This smacks of collusion with those involved in the K92B looting!!!

    1. First deal with the current one punish offenders. Thus Exhaust all matters then move to the next audit report. Both Matters are important but you can not handle both now.

    2. Malawians are getting angrier every day as cashgate is still continuing and the players seem to be the same. What is needed in Malawi is a revolution or a change like what happened in Bukina Faso
