Corruption Suspects In Malawi Restricted Entry Into America
The US Department of State has issued restriction of entry into United States of America to corruption suspects in Malawi.
The affected are those answering charges in relation to the case involving businessman Zunneth Sattar.
They include former solicitor general Reyneck Matemba, former chairperson for the Public Procurement and Disposal of Assets Authority John Suzi-Banda, former Malawi Police Service lawyer Mwabi Kaluba, and former Inspector General of the Malawi Police Service George Kainja
These, according to the statement, are “generally ineligible for entry into the United States, due to their involvement in significant corruption”
It adds: “Matemba, Suzi-Banda, Kaluba, and Kainja abused their public positions by accepting bribes and other articles of value from a private businessperson in exchange for awarding a government procurement contract for the Malawi Police Service”
“The United States stands with Malawians working towards a more just and prosperous nation by promoting accountability for corrupt officials, including advocating for transparency and integrity in government procurement processes’
The Department says the restriction also extends to the suspects’ spouses.
