Understandably, there are still some people who wholeheartedly love the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), the truth though is that these people still love the party either because they are merely party fanatics or they were direct beneficiaries of the spoils of corruption.
If anything what was there for one to still cling to DPP?.
However, as much we know some of the DPP’s misdeeds, it appear that what we know is just a tip of an iceberg, there is a lot more stories of theft that we are not aware of and will never know them.
The revelation by the current State House management that their office cannot trace and reconcile some financial transaction that happened during Peter Mutharika’s reign is an indication that there were so many shady deal during the DPP administration which were swept under the carpet and went unreported.

It reads: “Consequently, the current management was not able to trace and furnish for review the liquidation documents for payment vouchers amounting to K5 236 639 307,39 as queried.”
The report says State House also could not trace the supporting documents of the payment voucher amounting to K13 496 362 089,03 and K4 839 328 187,38. In total the curremt State House Management failed to trace supporting documents for payment voucher at State House amounting to K23 billion whose occupant was Peter Mutharika at the time.
However, there is an encouraging news as there is indication that the new management at State House are able to keep the financial transaction which is a stark contrast to what used to happen in Mutharika’s State House.
The report smacks activities of theft by the DPP, again this should not be surprising at all. This is DPP we are talking about. By now we should have grown accustomed to the fact that DPP meant theft.
