MRA’s Roza Mbilizi falls ill after ACB probe: Fatch implicated in K3.2bn cement

July 7, 2020 Green Muheya - Nyasa Times 56 Comments

Malawi Revenue Authority (MRA) deputy director general Roza Mbilizi has not been reporting for duties due to unspecified illness following the investigations by Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) on her involvement in bootleg deals and abuse of office at the public tax collector, Nyasa Times understands.

Mbilizi: At the centre of looting probe

There was no word from MRA about the nature of Mbilizi’s illness.

Mbilizi has generally enjoyed good health before the change of government through a court-sanctioned  fresh presidential elections on June 23.

Among other issues that Mbilizi is being probed is sale of MRA houses and how she facilitated   clearance of the duty-free 400 000 bags of cement worth K3.2 billion which  immediate former [resident Peter Mutharika imported from Zambia and Zimbabwe between 2018 and 2019.

Legal experts questioned  the volume involved on the “personal use” provision in the Presidents (Salaries and Benefits) Act and called for an investigation.

The Presidents (Salaries and Benefits) Act allows the President “duty free importation of items for personal use”.

In the initial transaction in November 2018, the President bought 20 000 metric tonnes (MT) or 200 000 bags of cement worth $2 240 000 (about K1.68 billion) from PTC Zimbabwe Limited duty-free. In the second transaction in July 2019, Mutharika purchased the same quantity from Prestige Export based at Chipata in Zambia.

Malawi has three large-scale cement manufacturing companies, namely Lafarge Cement in Blantyre, Shayona Cement Corporation in Kasungu and Cement Products Limited in Mangochi.

Meanwhile, Mbilizi’s relation Lodzani Fatchi is being implicated to be part of the deal for using Mutharika’s duty free status to import cement and sale  on his business.

  1. Roza Mbilizi and all criminals should be brought before the court of law. They were so cruel in stealing Malawian money. Useless lady. Now, your man is out of power, face us. Dont die before we take you to court and collect our funds

Achina bottom man, Dausi, chisale, maseya… Ansah… Paja akumati system… We need to make a system overhaul just as we have started with the mafia godfather APM who has nurtured corruption to a chief demon in the country. We need to use recovered money from these mafias to construct new prisons and employ more judges… these mafias akalowe ndipo alowe msanga… First to enter ndi go between wawo FDH… These thieves atinzunza kwambiri.

  4. I know this lady will survive. Chilima is her friend . She also used to assist one smuggler of beer and alcohol in Chilobwe and if you want to check , just check his CCTV has all the footage of customs officers who come to his shop to collect money after helping him to smuggle beer. What they do is that they will buy beer in South Africe worth R10m and mixed it with few groceries they they clear into bond where they only clear the few groceries and all the beer is smuggled without paying anything to government.

      1. Kadeti ameneyi, nkhani ili apapa sizikugwirizana ndi zomwe akunena. Budget imachita approve ndi parliament chisanayambe kugwira ntchito. Anadya nawo zambiri, muzisanzatu kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

  11. THE ONLY GOOD INDIAN IS A DEAD ONE.
    INDIANS HAVE DESTROYED OUR BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY.
    LET THE NEW GOVERNMENT ARREST ALL CORRUPT INDIANS. MALAWI IS FOR BLACK PEOPLE.

    1. I agree with you. We have had problems with our Bombay Brothers since the days of John Chilembwe.

  12. Ine ndimagwira ku MRA. In fact abwana athuwa anakumoka mu ofesi Mulungu wathawu. Mayiyu akuyenera kumangidwa ndipo katundu yense ali naye alandidwe. Alipo angapo ku ofesi kwathuku. Apite ku ndende basi. Ankona ngati dziko silingasinthe lilimmanja mwawo. Akakhale zaka 7 akafere konko

    1. Malipiliro ozunza kupondeleza mitundu ina lero mungokomokakomoka onani. Kumaopa Mulungu osati anthu. Any evil doing have its expiry date ask Peter Munthalika komabe ingolapani God is ready to forgive you and you’ll have peace of mind.

  13. Are u sure Muthalika is a professor? I start to doubt now ,coz he is more stupid than Muluzi. Muluzi is the most danderheard of all presidents in Africa.

  15. Nothing to be amazed with but rather let justice prevail in this country. If there is a place that needs sanity is MRA, MACRA, ESCOM, WATER BOARDS, MBC, POLICE. MHC and capital hill. The country went into the abyss from 1999-2020. We would like to see overhaul of the whole government system. Clean up the mess. It pains to some of us to see our taxes being abused by small and big fishes in the government. Let the ACB do its work without fear or favor , no ill-will but sanity

  16. Could be Covid 19. Get well soon. The ACB will need your statements soon, you could even get a deal as state witness if you play your cards right.

  18. Mr Gani from a tailoring shop in Zomba to a Multbillioneer of stolen funds from taxes of poor Malawians. Now face the music. End of Dziko ndi wanu ndalama ndi wathu slogan.

    1. Dziko wanu ndalama wathu slogan is being used in a different context by some Malawians. One needs to work hard to become rich whether you are indegenios Malawian asian or other race. One doesn’t get money on the plate . There has been a lot of success stories with hard working Malawians like Jimmy Koreia. There was a small enterprise development fund to help indegenious Malawians to start businesses but people were borrowing money and blowing out on booze and women instead of investing in business. So the conclusion is that money is not gonna come to you from thin air you need to work hard for it. If you gonna end up blaming indians for everything you not gonna go forward and will end up like Zimbabwe.There are a minority of Asians who are corrupting officials and making money. Root them out and either lock them up or deport them but the vast majority of Malawian Asians are law abiding citizens.I am a law abiding Malawian asian business man who pays taxes and on top of that also pay islamic wealth tax meant to help poor indegenious Malawian Muslims to train and education them so that they can earn a living and get a descent salary

      1. Here goes another Asian trying to cover up tell us what’s the your full name and name of your business so that MRA and ACB can check if you are or not corrupt we want all Asians to declare all their foreign accounts assets in Malawi and abroad flashy cars how they have obtained so stop using this platform giving stupid excuses Asians are mbavas simple Farook Gani is the same Asian who sold 10kg chickens to Malawi Army in Zomba

  20. Mbava yaikulu imeneyi (Roza Fatchi) amangidwe basi. Amaona ngati kunjoya mmene amaba misonkho ya a Malawi.

  21. We’ve heard enough of these stories
    All we need now is action action and action
    Lock them up and seize their properties
    Akakhala Farook Gani yo , on top of locking him up and seizing his properties, ban him and his immediate family members from doing business in this country

  25. Tonse alliance government arrest these people fast before they kill themselves,we want the money back wina ndiuja mwamulora Kuti athawe atalandira 2 billion malawi Kwacha, Jane Ansah
    ku MEC.Zomanyengereraa anthu akubazi musiye mwamva atonse alliance, adaluza nazo ulamuliro Joyce Banda.Omwe amaba ndalama ndi ma DPP cadets or ma dpp diehards.Pano ali ill wachiyani,just arrest them.Anthu akuba sachedwa kudwala Kaya ndifukwa Chian,Maka Akaba ndalama Za boma.Tonse alliance do your job.

  27. Lol, koma, apa nde zavuta, straight. Kulira, kudwala kunama- zonse zichitika pamenepa

  28. This woman has abused tax payers money chonde ACB investigate her she was connected to the ruling party and was untouchable and very rude. She must be the first to go

  29. In sickness or health…Tonse government should go after the corrupt cadets no matter how high their positions were. That’s the only way we can secure the future of Malawi. Get all corrupt officials to jail and.our children will understand that corruption does not pay!

  30. Nothing will come out of this stop wasting time and space. Malawi is as lawlessness as air has no boundaries.

  33. Gani yekhayo akalowe ndinthu… this Indian eish! And Mbilizi ameneyu achiratu ngati amaona ngati she is untouchable, a Dad wo docket yawo ya abuse of office sili ready?😀😀

  35.

  42. Mumatumbwatu mami nthawi ya adadi, lero mwati mudwala cha??? muona kuti mupanga bwanje! dziko ndiye lasintha ili.
