Civil Society Organisations ( CSOs) activists have made a debate over the interdiction of Anti- Corruption Bureau (ACB) Director General Martha Chizuma by the Office of President and Cabinet (OPC) who issued the interdiction letter on January 31, 2023.
In the debate,Malawi National Centre For Democrancy Watch National Coordinator Levy Luwemba says the interdiction of Chizuma is highly irregular considering that Secretary to the President and Cabinet (SPC) has no mandate to interdict the ACB Director General but the mandate is rested with the president of the republic of this country.
He says:”We have already started talking to our colleagues about the issue because we are not relearnt and we will not be intimidated, this is our country and we will not allow corrupt balloons to suppress the fight against corruption.”
He adds that the way forward to solve the matter will be decided by the Malawians not the leaders in the civil society organisation.
On his part, spokesperson of the Grand Coalition of SCOs in Malawi Agape Khombe has hailed the SPC for coming up with the Idea to interdict Chizuma although he thought should have been done much more earlier.
” you may remember the nation may wish to recall that last week Chizuma failed to appear before court citing busy with government business in Blantyre as her excuse.
”This is what would make me to believe that the SPC promptive to release official burden on her desk, so that she should abide by the law attending the court proceedings as she seeks for justice through defending herself for the charges levelled against her,” quoted Khombe.
Khombe adds that the deputy Director General of the ACB will do the needful saying people should not worry with
the current situation in the office of the Director General.
Chizuma is answering the two charges concerning the leaked audio that is circulating in social media where she is heard talking to unknown person about the secrecy of her office and disobeyed the judges.
