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.

“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.

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.

There shall be another cash gate in the cashgate. In JB’s time and Bingu’s.
