Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>There is speculation in Ntcheu South Constituency that the graft busting body, the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB), is investigating corrupt practices in the construction of Kamwendo-Chiole bridge in Gomani Chikuse Ward in the constituency, formerly known as Ntcheu West.<\/p>\n

The bridge in Traditional Authority Kwataine, reportedly pegged at MK12 million, allegedly cost MK55 million of the Constituency Development Fund (CDF). The issue even came up during an anti-corruption clinic ACB held in the area, according to Ntcheu District Commissioner George Ngaiyaye.<\/p>\n

Among others, council officials, a Member of Parliament, a councillor and a contractor are reportedly under probe.<\/p>\n

ACB Spokesperson, Egrita Ndala, promised to come back to Nyasa Times to confirm whether or not the bureau is indeed investigating the matter.<\/p>\n

She referred us to the ACB Facebook page dubbed Anti-Corruption Bureau Malawi for more information on the anti-corruption clinics the bureau held across Ntcheu.<\/p>\n

According to Ngaiyaye, during the ACB clinic in Ntcheu South Constituency, communities presented to the body corrupt practices happening in their area, including the Kamwendo-Chiole bridge issue.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know that something fishy happened on that bridge. However, since the anti-corruption clinic, I do not know what the ACB is doing about the matter. I am not even aware if the ACB is doing any investigations on that issue,\u201d Ngaiyaye said.<\/p>\n

The DC also refused to comment on the specific amounts involved in the project.<\/p>\n

According to the ACB Facebook page, the anti-corruption clinics, aimed at bringing services of the bureau to the people, took place across Ntcheu from 9th to 19th May.<\/p>\n

Within those two weeks, according to the page, the bureau conducted sensitizations, road shows, procurement audits, media interactions, sports bonanzas and public forums, among other activities.<\/p>\n

The bureau also received and processed complaints from people.<\/p>\n

As Nyasa Times compiled this report for publication, Ndala had not returned to confirm if the bureau is really doing any investigations on the Kamwendo-Chiole bridge project.<\/p>\n
