Minister of Justice Titus Mvalo has expressed grave concern over reports of corruption and bribery involving Members of Parliament(MPs), warning that such malpractices could compromise the integrity of the country’s laws.
Mvalo has urged the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) to investigate these allegations to ensure accountability and integrity within the legislative process.
He was responding to a question from a participant at the ongoing Civic Space Dialogue in Lilongwe, referencing a story published in Saturday’s Weekend Nation.
The story alleged that some MPs claim to receive financial inducements to either pass or reject Bills in the August House.
Mvalo described the allegations as “unfortunate” and emphasized that such actions border on corruption and bribery, which could undermine the legitimacy of the legislative process.
He stressed the importance of upholding the highest standards of integrity and accountability in governance.
