Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>President Lazarus Chakwera is now under pressure for rushing withdrawing Vice President Saulos Chilima\u2019s portfolios based on Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) Martha Chizuma\u2019s substandard report.<\/p>\n

This comes as 90 days have elapsed without ACB taking Chilima to court on alleged corruption with Indian businessman. In an interview with Maravi Post on Monday, Political Analyst, George Phiri said It would be imperative if the Chakwera had advised the ACB to finalize the report before any action. Phiri observes that Chakwera\u2019s decision stopping Chilima from working was viewed as political intervention.<\/p>\n

\u201cI agree with the ACB\u2019s Spokesperson on the President\u2019s action. The President\u2019s himself recognized the report as substandard. It was a surprise for everyone that the President swiftly made serious decisions based on the report including detracting the jobs of the VP without established cases,\u201d said Phiri.<\/p>\n

Phiri said many Malawians considered it as Chakwera \u2018s deliberate political move to destabilize political career of the innocent VP. \u201c:Until now it\u2019s difficult to justify the reason for detracting the jobs of the VP; either by the ACB or by the President, the VP has no case to answer yet from corruption scandal .<\/p>\n

ACB publicist, Egrita Mdala told Zodiak on Sunday that the report which was submitted to Chakwera was incomplete saying bureau is to embark further investigations.<\/p>\n

Leader of Opposition, Kondwani Nankhumwa decline to comment on the matter. \u201cI would reserve my comment for now on this issue,\u201d said Nankhumwa. Malawians are yet to see how Chakwera will handle the political incrimination against Chilima.<\/p>\n
