The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) said this evening that it was looking for Msukwa who is also Member of Parliament for Chitipa East and was appointed as Minister last year.<\/p>\n

\u201cInvestigations have so far established that in relation to the mentioned land matters, Hon Kezzie Msukwa on four occasions corruptly used his official powers contrary to section 25 (1) as read together with section 34 of the Corrupt Practices Act,\u201d reads part of a ACB statement signed by Principal Public Relations Officer Egritta Ndala.<\/p>\n

Msukwa has since told the local media this evening that he is yet to be arrested and he is not on the run.
