Political activist Bon Kalindo says the government’s decision to drop all corruption charges against the Vice President Dr. Saulos Klaus Chilima is speaking for itself that it has lost the case.
Kalindo says the discontinuation of the corruption case against Chilima has spoken with a loud voice that politicians pay each other for somebody’s mistakes and that government will use taxpayers’ money to pay for the cost of hired defense team which was representing Chilima in court.
He says even though the case has been discontinued, Chilima’s name will not be forgotten by Malawians and it will go down in the country’s political history as the first Vice President Malawi has ever produced since 1994 to go into corruption history books.
Speaking through an audio clip circulating in various social media platforms, Kalindo has reminded Dr. Chilima that President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera on 21st June, 2022 spoke on the Malawi Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) TV that Chilima was involved in corruption case being a beneficiary of Zuneth Sattar corruption basket fund.
Kalindo says from 21st June, 2022 Chilima’s history was nothing to write about putting to shame his family members, relatives and friends and even the church he is going worshipping the true God in Heaven, signs were written on the wall that he is the corrupt Vice President.
He says he does find a reason for Chilima to accept government announcement that his corruption case he was answering in court has been droopped without proof that he is a corrupt person advising him not to accept the discontinuation of the case until justice prevails.
The activist has however, advised Chilima, that he can forgive President Chakwera for destroying and blacklisting his name as the most corrupt person out of a list of 84 suspects whose names were submitted to President Chakwera for action, but history will not die.
“If I were Dr. Saulosi Klaus Chilima, one of his lawyers and advisors, I would say “no” to discontinuation of the case, my legacy has been destroyed, I will not be a hero anymore, let the case continue to be heard until the most corrupt person between me and my boss is identified,” says Kalindo.
He has made a prophecy to Dr. Chilima that someone in the future will rise from the dead to revive the case back to light for Malawians to know who is a real thief between him and President Chakwera reminding him about the anti-songs against him in Chichewa “WABA WEKHA, USALIRE” at the Lilongwe Magistrate Court.
