PAC meets over K145m DPP ‘donation’ from Pioneer
Quasi- religious body, Public Affairs Committee (PAC) meets next week to discuss how the graft busting body, the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) cleared President Peter Mutharika on the controversial K145 million “donation.”
PAC spokesperson Peter Mulomole has confirmed the meeting, saying there is need for the governance watchdig to discuss the issue and come up with one stand and voice on the matter.
“This is an issue of great national importance. As PAC, we have an interest in the matter. We will come up with a stand after the meeting,” said Mulomole.
He also said the PAC members will discuss issues on the forthcoming elections as well as matters on political, economic and social.
The meeting comes barely days after the vocal civil society organisations have asked the ACB director general Reyneck Matemba to step down following the clearance of Mutharika on the matter, saying only the courts could clear the president.
The Malawi Congress Party has since encouraged its members to join the CSOs in peaceful protests against the decision by the ACB to clear Mutharika on the K145 million set for September 7.
MCP spokesperson Maurice Munthali said the MCP is very concerned with the clearance of Mutharika, saying he might have influenced the ACB to clear him as the elections are approaching.

PAC we look at you in a way quiet different from the way we used to look at you. You voice is never the same. You will do us favour if you kept quiet.

These people are hypocrites.
Reyneck Matemba has failed to perform his duties. What else did you expect from him ?
Court can only determine wether someone is guilty or not. So where does ACB take this authority to clear someone involved in illicit deals?? This is embracement at the highest level for this organisation called ACB. U over step your mandate and with this scandal I think u should surely do us a favour by stepping down Mr Matemba. Since u started being the Director of ACB , I think your personality of being hardwoker with integrity has been down graded to -1 . Meaning u r just being used just like a condom now. I thought what u were… Read more »
