Malawi Law Society demands cashgate funding transparency

Malawi Law Society has asked the government to tell Malawians how much it is spending in funding the cashgate cases.

President of the Law Society John Suzi Banda said this on Thursday.

“Malawians deserve to know how much money the government is spending because cashgate has a bearing on the public. The government should be transparent on such important issues,” he said.

There are several state machinery that are prosecuting the cashgate, the plunder of public resources at Capital Hill.

The state agents include courts, the Anti Corruption Bureau, the police and the office of the director of public prosecutions.

Top public prosecutor Mary Kachale said the demand by the Law Society is legitimate.

She said the office of the public prosecutions will be making available the cashgate accounts to parliament in February.
