Massive Plunder At State House Between 2014–2020

There was massive Plunder of public resources between 2016 – 2020 leading to the missing of public property at the State House, a new audit report has shown.

The revelation follows a recent audit report President Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera allowed to be conducted at all state residences aimed at establishing how the state house resources have been managed in the recent past.

Government Spokesperson who is also the minister of Information, Moses Kunkuyu disclosed this on Sunday during an exclusive interview with MBC on how public resources are being managed in relation to the natural calamities, Cyclone Freddy and Covid-19.

Kunkuyu said, against what many people were made to believe, the new audit report still pits Mutharika’s 2014-2020 stay at the State House as the worst thing Malawians have ever paid for because the National Audit office could not access financial records at State Office.

“The National Audit office could not be allowed to access expenditures or whatever financial transactions taking place at the State House Between 2016-2020 because the leadership then could not open the doors for anyone to account for the finances,” Kunkuyu said.

The information minister then disclosed that in the interest of transparency and accountability it pleased president Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera to have an audit office within the State House which is answerable to the National Audit Office.

High on the ladder is a report of massive Plunder implicating the former president, Peter Mutharika’s personal bodyguard, Norman Paulosi Chisale and other business people alleged to have hugely benefited from the president’s TPIN to import 800,000 bags of cement from Zimbabwe, equipment and other materials duty-free.
