Tayub was earrested by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) last July on suspicion of corruption relating to procurement of the K26 billion maize from Zambia.

He was jointly prosecuted with former Cabinet minister George Chaponda.

This is more than STATE CAPTURE.. Malawi has conmen in government making deals well-known crooks & MONEY-LAUNDERERS in town to defraud and loot the VERY POOR nation they claim to govern.. Akaba chonchi ma crooks akukanamizila kupanga donate ati za NAMAZANE, kuputsitsa anzanthu a chisilamu.
In essence, they are into money laundering. Kenako kumapita ku khoti ati PALIBE mlandu.
In South Africa such crooks are fugitives (Guptas), on the run, but ka dziko kosauka ngati Malawi we are protecting MBAVA.
HOPELESS DDP thugs.
SHAME!!!
