Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Police in Lilongwe have arrested an accountant from the Accountant General\u2019s department, over alleged irregular transactions. Harry Namwaza, Police national deputy public relations officer has identified the suspect as Estone Nephan Sani, 52 , from the area of Traditional Authority Kalolo in Lilongwe.<\/p>\n

The ministry of Finance is yet to say how much Sani is suspected to have stolen from government. The arrest comes after an investigation by Ministry of Finance and Economic Affairs exposed fraudulent activities perpetrated by officers at the Accountant General\u2019s department for personal gain.<\/p>\n

An investigation by the Ministry of Finance & Economic Affairs has exposed irregular transactions by some officers at the Accountant General\u2019s office.<\/p>\n

According to a statement from the Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning, the investigation has successfully exposed what appears to be fraudulent activities perpetrated by personnel in the Accountant General\u2019s department for personal gain.<\/p>\n

The statement says the new Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS) has been instrumental in assisting government with monitoring transactions, identifying irregularities and improving efficiency in public service delivery in accordance with laws of Malawi.<\/p>\n

In addition the statement says that in pursuit of Government\u2019s policy of ending corruption and upholding the rule of law, the Ministry referred the matter to the Fiscal Police for the enforcement of any laws violated by suspected culprits, resulting in the arrest of at least one officer.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019The Ministry therefore wishes to thank the Fiscal Police for moving with speed on the matter and for assisting Government in fulfilling its mandate to safeguard the hard-earned resources of<\/p>\n

Malawian taxpayers and to ensure that the use of such resources for any purpose other than the advancement and development of Malawi and its people is never tolerated, \u201creads part of the statements.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Taurai Banda , Public Relations Officer for the Ministry of Finance and Economic is yet to comment on this as his phone went unanswered after several attempts.<\/p>\n
