Chairperson for the Citizen for Justice and Equity Agape Khombe has called on the Attorney General’s office to speed up the process of unfreezing Agricultural Development and Marketing Corporation (ADMARC)’s bank accounts.
This comes after a court decision froze ADMARC’s accounts and authorized the seizure of its assets due to a K25 billion compensation award to 3,282 employees who were retrenched in January 2023.
In an interview with 247 Malawi News, Khombe, expressed concerns about the potential impact on the public, particularly in regards to ADMARC’s ability to deliver maize, which could exacerbate the ongoing hunger crisis.
He emphasized the need for swift action to address the situation.
The officials from the Attorney General’s office are yet to comment on the matter.
