Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Malawians on social media have taken swipe at the country\u2019s graft bursting agency Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) for petty arrests without enough evidence against the suspects in courts.<\/p>\n

The outburst comes barely hours after ACB issued a public statement of arresting Former Finance Minister Joseph Mwanamveka for allegedly abusing his position in the payment of US$18.3 million to the Homeland Security Ministry for the purchase of uniforms and equipment for the Malawi Prison Service.<\/p>\n

ACB alleges that investigations showed that the former finance minister abused his office to approve the payment without verifying the urgency and importance of the equipment. But Malawians on social media are throwing stones on ACB under Martha Chizuma\u2019s leadership over petty arrests without serious prosecution.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe arrest of Mwanamveka is a continuation of the same old song, nothing is new here. ACB is just wasting our time and energy paying attention to them,. And it seems the current corrupt leaders will be arrested after government is booted out of leadership. As for now, former corrupt leaders are the ones to face the law \u201d rebukes George Majamanda.<\/p>\n

Andsen Banda chips in, \u201cAnd when they go to court the state will be asking for more time so that further investigations can be conducted into the matter and yet we are told that the ACB thoroughly conducted its investigations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe courts are full with ACB related files but no progress. The ACB should avoid arresting people merely based on their political connections as this may come back to haunt us through legal battles for unlawful arrests\u201d.<\/p>\n

Mark Mgulawanthu concurs, \u201cWe spend more time on things that are of no any positive results\u201d. \u201cOne of the games that we hate the most is when they arrest each other to give us the impression that they are doing something about corruption when there is nothing being done,\u201d adds Brian Mendulo.<\/p>\n

Since Chizuma became ACB Director General no serious corruption case has been concluded but galore of arrests. Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) Steven Kayuni has for several times denied Chizuma consent to prosecute corruption cases without enough evidence.<\/p>\n
