Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Former president of the United Democratic Front (UDF) Atupele Muluzi says the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) should not be used to victimise innocent people.

The questioning centred on allocation of plots at Bwaila in Lilongwe which are linked to United Kingdom-based businessperson Zuneth Sattar who is alleged to have bribed various politicians.<\/p>\n

In an interview after appearing before the ACB, Muluzi said the bureau has a lot of cases to work on and should not be used as a tool for attacking innocent people in Malawi.<\/p>\n

He, however, added that he is not worried about being implicated in any wrongdoing. \u201cI walk freely because I know I have never done anything wrong or worked in a manner that would raise suspicions,\u201d said Muluzi.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Muluzi\u2019s supporters blocked him from entering the offices of the bureau to be interrogated something which was condemned by various social media commentators.<\/p>\n
