Malawi Parliament vows to name and shame corrupt ministers Jan 31
Officials from Public Accounts Committee of parliament (PAC) has vowed to make public its findings on the infamous K236 billion’cashgate’ – grand corruption scandal.
Chairman of PAC Alekeni Menyani says the report will be made public on January 31.
“This will include names of the cabinet ministers, other individuals and companies contained in the 13 files,” he said.
He said PAC has made thorough investigations and made a series of meetings.
The graft busting body, the Anti Corruption Bureau has refused to make public the contents of the 13 files from the office of the Auditor General.
Attorney General Kalekeni Kaphale said he advised the Anti Corruption Bureau and the Auditor General against making public the files.
President Peter Mutharika said a week ago in Mzuzu that no minister in his cabinet is corupt.
PAC is also investigating reports that former president Bingu wa Mutharika stashed K90 billion, which he allegedly obtained through corruption, in foreign investment accounts.
Mutharika and his government vehemently refutes this, calling the investigation torture to the Bingu’s family.
Inu a Kongelesi, if you have the names, release them now. Mbuzi za anthu. When releasing the list, please invite Hon Juliana Lunguzi as well. I would like to find out from her if it is true that she is selling the cottage that her family built in Salima using state resources.
There are just too many thieves in Malawi that are being protected because of their political connection. Apart from the Lunguzi Cashgate, which is being covered by the MCP, there is Richard Msowoya and Rhino Chiphiko who clearly stole taxpayers’ money through the tractor gate. Pamenepa a Kongelesi muti bwani? Then there is Billy Mayaya who alongside his comrades stole taxpayers’ money at HRCC.
Mbava pa Malawi kaya tipange nazo chani?
Kaya
Times is the best teacher zidziwika osadela nkhawa a Malawi manzanita God is in control
Time has come that dogs, things, gangsters, robbers, criminals and murderers in DPP must be exposed.
Remember the words of late Dr George Nga Ntafu in the August House “A DPP ndi agalu”. Indeed when you tame a dog don’t trust it for a day will come where it will harm you or your people. This is what DPP is doing to innocent souls in Malawi with its evil actions.
DPP members you are truly dogs. 10% performance is a clearly sign that you are performing as dogs does.
Zitsiru! Munayambira kutokota muja osangotchula mainawo bwanji? Do you need 31 days when you have the names? Yet you gave APM 2 weeks?
Name and shame them. We are behind you. Civil unrest this time around is the only option nothing else. Tired of DPP.
Inu musatinyase ife pano! Monse mwayambila kuti muwatchula muwatchula mwachitapo chiani? Tsekani chikamwa chanu sitikusowa kumva mabodza anuwo ife. Mavuto atikwana!
Mr Menyani don’t be afraid ..fight on for the good of the nation..all this comment r coming from dpp …keep on fighting the country is behind u guyz ..ABA kokwanila.
It is no longer an open secret. There is resistance to fight corruption at all levels. The fish has rotten from the head to the tail. In 2019 the current crop of the cabinet ministers should be kicked out of power. This team of cabinet ministers is crueless when it come to performance but active when it come to stealing. As of now, we need massive protests. As VEEP has said, it is time for Malawi to accept no medioricrity again. We should clean the entire system. Malawi is in shambles.
Make it water tight follow procedures to avoid technical overthrow. Do your best to let all Malawians know hard truth
Wina nduyu waba MK 10 Billion ku Zambia, akukananso kupanga resign….
The president is right! There are no corrupt minister, there a only thieves!
Menyani, you are being hypocritical. last time Hon. Kamlepo said PAC knew the names of the ministers, you came in and said that was not true. Now, this…..? Am sure you had the names all along, and not known them now. You need to come out in te open too
Release the names lero. Mukuopa chiani???
Is this the same PAC Kamlepo belongs? Where was this document all along? It is just total rubbish. We will laugh at you once this report is out.
You chambe what is your problem it’s our tax money may be you are not paying tax why feeling sorry for the thieves like chaponda and the other aulure tiziwe amene akunenepera ndalama za athu osauka look at admarc saga chaponda anakanisisa kuti chimanga sasisa ngakhale pitalayo mbuzi yakoyo inakana kuti sasisa mtengo akuziwa kuti anaba ndalama zambiri and akufuna kuti athu osauka abwenze ngongole ya chimanga koma pano mwaona Mulungu patali zose zaululika pano ndiye mziti chani kagwere uko ndi nyasi zakozo.
What shall benefit man if he acquires the whole world and loses his life. I can not understand that even the old people like APM, Chaponda and others still work hard to obtain money through corrupt means. You must be ashamed of your self. This is time for you to seek the face of the Lord. You definitely know you clock is almost expired and you continue to torment power Malawians by stealing taxes. Are you guys leaders or misleaders. You gather cars, buildings and money corruptly while some Malawians at some corner are sleeping on empty stomachs. Slow down guys. You have had enough.
i can see people fighting within PAC just to distabilize the flow of information. some CSOs have ganged up against PAC inorder to bring fears to PAC members.
Anyamata a MCP achina Menyani I agree with ur zeal to deal with corruption.. Don’t forget 42 Billion ya Kamuzu and please find out how all assets for MCP were acquired, since during that time party and state were one… Please tafufuzani zonsezi! We commend you for your anti-corruption work!
You have already said that party and state properties were the same so how can one start from?
waiting to hear from you.
Muchita kudikira mpaka pa 31? Bola asakuzimitseni nonse. Besides, if you wont do that by pa 31 po, the pressure will be on you and we will be on your neck. Zomatipusitsa ayi, atiuza kale a VP. KKKKKK
That’s good if the protocol is not broken in that your report is the same coming directly from the Auditor General to the Speaker of Parliament.
Any other channel of obtaining the report from wherever other than from the Auditor General renders it invalid and the channel used being declared null and void.
Naming and shaming the names without following the above channel opens a legal battle against the individuals in the PAC. This PAC just like any other Parliamentary Committee has no mandate to bypass the process. Iam looking forward to see who will have the last laugh.
AChambe pathako panu mwamva. Vuto lanu ndi chani kodi? Zimakusangatsani mukamawona anthu akuvutika chotere mdziko lawo lomwe chifukwa cha kudzikonda kwa kagulu ka anthu kochepa.
Kodi zotengerana ku khoti kapena kusumilana chifukwa chokuwulula kuti ndiwe wakuba ziyamba lero chifuka amalume kapena agogo ako ali nawo mugulu mo? Iwe Chambe chimene ungadziwe ndi ichi……anthu amudziko lino ali mukwiyo kwambiri ndi m’mene chidzete ichi chikuyendetsera boma. Zisakomere mbuzi kugunda galu. Utsogoleri wa Joyce Banda unali utsogoleri wa mphamvu kusiyana ndi galu wanuyo (umuwuzenso naye kuti pathako pake). Chimene mukubisilana ndi chani? Ngati m’madalira ma khoti muzayaluka ma khotiwonso atamba kukusambirani m’manja. Ena mwa nduna komanso aphungu aku nyumba ya malamulo ambali ya DPP sakusangalala nazo zimene zikuchitikazi. Uzimvere chisoni. Running a government is a serious business, wamva galu iwe. Pathako pako. Usanyozese mutundu wako.
People who fail to debate constructively always resort to swearing or “kutukwana” sometimes such people behave like this because sanapemphere mokwanira or that they don’t read widely to become well informed and end up paying heavily on ignorance.
The following quotes refer to such people:
“The more informed you are, the less aggressive you are ” .. Nelson Mandela. The opposite of this qoute refers to those who swear.
“The only thing more expensive than education is ignorance”…..Benjamin Franklin.
I have no time for personal confrontational debates with such people.
When a person tries to make a point in a debate and resorts to swearing kapena kuti:”kutukwana” it clearly indicates that that person is either not well informed or not well read enough about the issue at hand hence being aggressive.
“The more informed you are,the less arrogant and aggressive you are”………Nelson Mandela .The opposite of this quote more probably defines you.
” The only thing more expensive than education is ignorance”…Benjamin Franklin.
Lack of education or wide reading about social issues of life on people perhaps puts them in the category of the second quote.
Unfortunately I don’t entrain dirty debates muddled by swearing “kutukwana” from such people . It becomes personal and unhealthy.
Nopiya, there are many of us Malawians who are angry with government for shielding ‘the seven rotten cabinet ministers’ and I believe you are one of us. My advice to you however is that you do not have to use insulting language to put across your point(s) or to express your anger. Insults do not make your point(s) to stand out. I believe you, your friends, colleagues and associates know what to do come 2019. Avoid extreme anger as you may end up developing high blood pressure. Your vote is vital in 2019!
