Speaking during the closing ceremony of the two-day National Anti-Corruption Conference (NAC) held at Sun Bird Mount Soche Hotel in Blantyre on Tuesday July 26,2022, Chakwera called on every citizen to take the word \u2018 corruption is our biggest enemy and not welcome here\u201d as a key message in the fight against corruption everywhere.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet me tell you all that corruption is our biggest enemy and not welcome in Malawi. If your company, church, business, organization or whatsoever is failing to develop, know that corruption which is our biggest enemy is there contributing to this failure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet \u2018 Corruption is our biggest enemy and not welcome here\u2019 be a key message as we stand in the fight against corruption everywhere whether it be at business, in church, in office, organization, and even in our families. By preaching about this word, we shall all make Malawi a corrupt-free nation,\u201d urged Chakwera.<\/p>\n<p>The Malawi leader further warned that his administration is ready and well equipped to deal with everyone found practicing corruption. \u201d Let me warn those that are still practicing corruption that God is after you, Malawi is after you and I am after you.<\/p>\n<p>\u201d If we find you, the law shall take its course,\u201d he warned.<\/p>\n<p>He then applauded Anti-Corruption Bureau ( ACB) Director General Martha Chizuma to always be in forefront in the fight against corruption in the country. He said Chizuma has proven to be a fearless person who has passion in making Malawi a corrupt-free nation.<\/p>\n<p>In her brief remarks, Chizuma commended Chakwera for hosting National Anti-Corruption Conference as this clearly indicates that he is committed enough to make Malawi a corrupt-free nation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201d Let me thank you his excellence for hosting this National Anti-Corruption Conference when there are high levels of corruption cases in the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis gives us a sense that you and your Tonse Alliance Administration are committed enough to make Malawi a corrupt-free nation. We applaud you for this timely intervention in the fight against corruption his excellence,\u201d commended Chizuma.<\/p>\n<p>She said no matter how long it can take for the country to defeat corruption, there is still hope that Malawi will win the fight. \u201cNo matter how long it takes, justice will win in this country, truth will win in this country and Malawi will win against this fight,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>The NAC closing ceremony also saw representatives from various government and non-governmental agencies presenting their statements of what they have put in place to eradicate corruption in the country.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/malawi\">Malawi<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Malawi.
