Mzati implicated in ‘Covidgate’: Took K650 000 for fuel to boost online presence
Vocal journalist Mzati Nkolokosa has been implicated in the abuse of Covid-19 for allegedly being involved in making questionable funds request and ridiculous expenditure.
While working as the Director of Information, according the Covid-19 funds abuse report, Nkolokosa got K650 000 for fuel to boost ‘online presence of Covid-19 messages’.
Social media is already mocking Nkolokosa for this.
Vocal activist Idris Ali Nassah wrote: “A lot of the expenses in the audit report don’t make sense, because most of it was pure theft. One such thing is Mzati Nkolokosa, then Director of Information, getting K651,360.00 for fuel to boost “online presence of COVID-19 messages”. What did he do, I wonder. Drive to Google, Twitter and Facebook?”
Further, Nkolokosa, according to the report, is involved in overpayment of lunch allowances amounting to K14 658 000.
Reads the report: “An examination of payment vouchers, approved loose minutes and receipted vouchers revealed that officers working within duty station during country public awareness on Covid-19 through loud hailing got daily subsistence allowances amounting to K17 410 000 instead of lunch allowances amounting to K2 752 000. This resulted in overpayments of lunch allowances to K14 658 000. The payment were requested by Mzati Nkolokosa.”

Who is “the prince of thieves”? A man who name his predecessor like this, should now come out and and confess his failures and trust in members of his administration! Sorry to say Mr President, but I hope you see it yourself, nobody respects you! Be more Magufuli, heads have to roll! To be a pastor and preach forgiveness does not help to come out of this, as a nation!
Forgive him, he is paid for that. One among dunderheads.
Demos are needed here. This government is also crook
Report iyi siyowona ndipo ngati kulibungwe lowona mmene ma auditor amagwirira ntchito achotse dzina la auditor general. He is trying to conceal the heist by the covid task force. Kadzako influenced the payment of MK20m to his radio which was more than what was paid to the national broadcaster. Chiponda and Kadzako have been claiming allowances and fuel from covid funds yet as ministers they have fuel up to 2500lts in their package. The inspector general and army commander were not mentioned yet from what I know when they received their money they just shared in allowances
Zama allowance a anthu ogwila ntchito Bomawa zitayeni kuzikwanitsa kwake ndikuyamba kuwapasa salary yabwino other wise athuwa amadziwilatu kuti retirement package yawo izakhala yolira ndiye akuyenela kudyeletu basi nanga apanga bwanji.
This report is fake and doctored why is Chiponda. Nankhumwa the army police not mentioned yet these people and institution received a d a used covid funds.No action will e take because the chief thief is Chakwera friend involved in furmigation. It’s like the cross road theft involving Kalumbu the rapist and Kapondamgaga.
Tonse alliance of thieves. Led by president Chinyau. Trash trash trash. Kwantele basi
I thought the issue is about Mzati Nkolokoti? We wouldn’t have known about his shady dealings were it not for Tonse Alliance whose leader, for whatever reason, you have taken pleasure in castigating. Some display of hatred reveals the calibre of the author
Where does Tonse Alliance come in in this Mzati issue? Not to say Tonse are clean, no….. Don’t be emotional when posting
Where in the report was Chakwera’s name mentioned. Such political hatred will never benefit you. You forget that your so called gogo petulo is being haunted by cementgate. Za zziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Chakwera of the Malawi Chewa Party (MCP) should be ashamed for shielding chiponda the main thief of covid-19 money. By the way, when shall Lazaro account for the 17 billion kwacha money which he also released for covid related activities? And why has the Report not covered K4.5 bn which was used by DODMA and OPC? This Report is very compromised.
Fuel for online presence? Maybe he is using generators to power his super computer. Koma lunch iyi amadya chani ndithu? Imported bread, sushi, capachino, 1000 percent juice and beef from Europe? Azisanza basi, apeleke ndalama zonse.
Much as theft should not be condoned, Mkolokosa’s amount of money is much smaller than money aquandered by the Taskforce. It is possible for the guy to pay back, but I wonder how those that have squandered millions will pay back and how soon that will be. So, let’s not amplify this when there are real thieves that have done more damage.
its not about paying back but doing the right thing.
Don’t target specific people. 6 billion wasn’t eaten by one person only.
