Mulli demands K11bn pay from Malawi government
Leston Mulli—the omnipresent figure in the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) — is through his firms demanding K11 603 935 990.03 from government as compensation for destructions suffered during the July 20 2011 protests.
The politically-connected businessperson’s claim comes after Mulli already received coupon bonds worth K3 048 557 708.71 from government in 2019 and now matured to be in hard cash today.
Payments were made in an out-of-court settlement that at the time private practice lawyer Bright Theu described as “dubious” and “questionable”.
Now at the expense of the taxpayer, Mulli is seeking further K11 billion compensations for the damages of his two companies Sunrise Pharmaceuticals and Chombe Foods Limited —companies under Mulli Brothers Holdings Limited (MBHL).
According to court documents, Mulli through his lawyers Churchill & Norris of Tamando Chokhotho, said after calculating as at present the sum has risen to K1 billion after deducting K3 billion already paid “the balance is in the sum of K11 603 935 990.03.”
Mulli’s claim comes when government is even failing to collect K4.9 billion in loans that Mulli-owned companies obtained from the defunct State-controlled Malawi Savings Bank (MSB).
But the his lawyers state: “ We are of the view that it is in the interest of the government to settle thus matter expeditiously to avoid the sum rising to unmanageable proportions.”
MBHL is the largest beneficiary of the K6 billion toxic loans government took over from MSB, a then wholly State-owned commercial bank, sold in July 2015 to FDH Financial Holdings Limited.
Mulli has strong links to President Peter Mutharika through their shared membership of Mulhakho wa Alhomwe heritage group.
Compensate my father as well. People burned 2 of his vehicles that day.
This is pure theft by trickery. Mulli got his money, though dubiously. He has eaten the money and he is now coming in for the second kill. You will note that this is DPP plan. Mulli will get the K11billion. When DPP gets kicked out, he will fund its party activities with K1billion every year until next campaign period. We are dealing with Mafia here. Watch out!
We only hear of billions of kwachas being paid out to Mulli. Is this not an insurance matter? And was Mulli the only person affected? Why are others not compensated? Clearly these payments come on top of other billions that were paid to him a few years ago. Manyazzi mulibe?
Mulli is an economic saboteur harming the future of all Malawians. Money which government should be using to improve the lives of Malawians is being paid to Mulli an economic saboteur and a traitor. Mulli has run riot over Malawi since his when Bakili was President to this very day. Bingu was Mulli’s facilitator as is Peter Mutharika. These are crooks who need handcuffs and leg irons when driven to Zomba Central
Mark my words Mulli is not alone in this. DPP, AG and many others, possibly fdh and DPP/APM lawyers, are part of the scam.
Mulli should be compensated. Everybody knows what happened to his businesses and no one can question his being compensated. And if any, where was he when the demonstrators were damaging his businesses. That was the time to question the acts of demonstrators.
Such dubious and questionable claims are daylight robbery. Malawizns are watching. Under DPP you can collect such obscene money. Koma mulandu suola. Mudzabweza ndalama zimenezi. Mudzabweza ndithu.
Why is the government paying Mulli for ngozi instead of his insurance company? Uku ndiye kuba kopanda nako manyazi. Come quick July 2nd, these bustards need to be out of the government and get arrested. Mxiiiiii
Mulli is so selfish.That kind of thievery should not be entertained at any cost. I hope the Govt doesn’t pay him this time. Why should we keep paying billions to one individual when there is no there is no medicine in our major hospitals? This bustard doesn’t think about anybody else but himself. He can go rot in hell.
This Mulli is a corrupt cockroach. His looting of public money from government treasury must stop and stop now. This crook needs to see justice.
mulli must be burnt at stake.stupid
DPP siphoning campaign money.
Strategic thieving of the public coffers shall never cease
Basi wanunkhiza ndalama za Covid -19. Umu ndi m’mene ndalamazi zithere. Apangana zochita.
mavuto akanalipo
A Malawi sanayiwale zonse zimachitika m’mbuyomu ai.Pezani njira ina yonamira. Mesa zangozi amalipira ndi ma insurance company?
Adafuna atengeletu tayi, ngongole jakhalitsa milungu majana majana and is charged compound interest hence the growth. The sooner govt pays the lower the total cost. My advice to treasury is please prioritise this k11 billion payment. ASAP 😎😎😎
Is it only Mulli to be compensated following July 2011 riots? Isn’t this another way of enriching Mulli and DPP in its sunset days? I hope Mulli’s indebtedness to former MBS will be taken into consideration when paying him, if at all.
Kodi Muli akufuna kuba Kwa mtundu wanji ndimumene wakhala akubelamu??
Anatibela ndalama zathu ku Malawi Savings Bank.
Idzoooo….dza shota dziyitenga ndidzimadolo dza agalu dzimenedzi…dzufuna dzidyeletu
Where did the damaged occurred ?and who was protesting ?for what purposes were the protest? Why government should be sued in this case anyone having more details eager to learn much. For how long is mulhakho wa alomwe udzakhala ukulandila ma billion Za a Malawi in the name of chipikuta misonzi?
I really don’t get how the government has always owed this Mulli guy. At one point he got MK3B. Then he got another MK8B and now has set his eyes on MK11B. Something is very wrong here. Malawi is either very calm or very stupid as a country or perhaps both. We don’t question anything. Maybe we always wait for someone else to sort things for us. No wonder the country is runs like a village on autopilot
And then? Who was the president at that time? Why bringing this article here now? Stupid writer
This is day light robbery. How on Earth!! Can a sane authority do this. Zokagawana Basi. Ambuye akukanthani for stripping resources that ought to have helped the poor
DPP just want to clean up account #1 before they leave office in July……this is not Muli alone. making this K11 billion claim, ndizokagawana izi.
K557 billion cashgate
The tractorgate
Police uniformgate
Admarc maizegate
Malawi Savings bank sale gate
K35 billion cashgate last year alone
K157 billion coronagate currently underway
K11 billion Muligate now in the pipeline
The list is endless and my question is, for how long will Malawians put up with this DPP thievery which they have been doing so boldly and with impunity?
kkkkkkkkkk. Well documented. Good reason to never give up power I think.
ma billion. pano malawi ikuoneka ngati singaporedi panopa.
This is full of gossip
Mulli-yu ndi umfiti kapena mental illness? The money he owes poor tax payers through MSB has been with him for how long? The credit he owes doesn’t accumulate interest but the money that nobody owes him that he just want to steal from us through government accumulates interest? His companies should have been covered by insurance and that’s where he was supposed to claim from; is he stupid not to know or he knows there’s money for corona and he wants to take his share? What about businesses that suffered losses last year because of Ansah and her boyfriend Nalikukuti? Should they also claim from the government? Courts should be very cautious on this otherwise it will open cans of worms. And….why other people think they are more citizen than the rest of us to keep on getting free money from government as they wish, when they wish?
Zomvetsa chisoni kwambiri.
zaucitslu ife ai ngati mwapangana kuti mube misonkho yathu. ma produts ako opanda ma standard wo. mmene mmamweranamo zitikhudze ifeyo? tsilu lomwa madzi ometera. galu usatinyase ndi move ukufuna kupangayo wamva!!!!

Eish…Malawi is held at a ransom ndithu.
