Africa-Press – Malawi. Alliance for Democracy (AFORD)’s Mzimba North lawmaker, Yeremia Chihana has condemned President Chakwera for ordering the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) Director to be reporting to him.
Chihana made the remarks on Tuesday, February 8, 2022 in the August house during his contribution on the State Of Nation Address (SONA). Chihana said Chakwera is abusing his power as the ACB is suppose to work independently by reporting to Parliament not to him as per recent order from the President.
