Malawi Police in Mwanza say they have arrested a Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital clerk for allegedly stealing a general receipt book.

Mwanza police spokesperson Edwin Kaunda said the hospital clerk, Dickens Bwanali will be brought to court soon.

Kaunda says  Bwanali allegedly used the GR book to issue receipts to three truck drivers  Hamisi Omega Amasi, Jumah Taimu Linje and Chaiswa Manyozo.

The drivers  were arrested at Mwanza border post  last week for allegedly producing  fake Covid-19 negative certificates.

Police investigations have led to the arrest of Bwanali. He will be taken to court soon to answer charges on the crime he has committed.
