BINGU'S ROLE IN THE CASH GATE SCANDAL, CAPITAL HILL THEFTY

It has been revealed that the Democratic Progressive Party DPP has a big role in the so called corruption case scandals rocking the country and involving government officials at capital hill. Our sources have revealed that many of those currently arrested have been working very closely with the late Bingu muntharika even before 2010. One of such a person is Maxwell and Alice Namata


Malawi’s graft-busting body Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) on Monday arrested Maxwell Namata , a third suspect involved in a syndicate stripping finances from government through illegal encashment of cheques using companies that did not supply any goods or services 

Maxwell Namata owns Khanye Investments together with his wife Alice. His wife Alice Namata was also arrested by ACB a fortnight ago but was freed on bail.



Namata was arrested and charged for Corrupt Performance of functions by a public officer; abuse of office; theft by a person employed in the public service; (and) Obstructing officers of the ACB


The arrest of Namata followed complaints received by the bureau in October 2011, alleging that an officer from the Accountant General’s office was conniving with Malawi Police Service officers to corruptly defraud government of huge sums of money.

Since 2011 The Anti-Corruption Bureau instituted investigations which found that Maxwell Namata Principal Accountant in the Ministry of Lands now with Ministry of Labour authorized several payments to be made in favour of Khanye Investiments belonging to Maxwell and Alice Namata for goods and services which were not supplied to Ministry of Lands but the Namatas were spared from any arrests after powers from above during DPP rule tried to obstruct any justice on the matter 

Khanye Investments is connected to the illegal payments which were done after another suspect Robert Natchito who is also currently on bail, is alleged to have entered payments vouchers in favour of two companies that did not supply any goods to the Ministry of Lands as indicated on the vouchers.

Robert Natchito is also another Bingus right side home boy which were used by the DPP government to siphone money from government offices through dubious deals . 

The other company involved is Hannet Enterprises which belongs to Hunter Kavinya and it is alleged that the payment vouchers amount to K11, 598513.43 and K8,203,518.86. Kavinya is one of the Mlakho boys that have been working closely with Mwanamveka and Mulli to direct money from government offices and fund Mlakho wa Alhomwe activities 

Nantchito worked as an Accounts Assistant in the Ministry of Lands but is now working with Ministry of Trade and Industry while Alice Namata is a Principal administrative Officer in the Ministry of Wildlife and Tourism.

The anti corruption Bureau investigations also found that Nantchito tampered with financial information from Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS) amounting to K73, 355,924.27.

The above three families may also be linked to a syndicate that hired thugs to shoot the Budget Director in the Ministry of Finance Paul Mphwiyo three weeks ago as he was entering his residence which is located in Area 43, Lilongwe because he has been discharging his duties of controlling funds in the ministry of finance and was on the verge of busting a corruption ring.

Mphwiyo was behind the new measures come just a month after also government announced some reforms to the IFMIS.

The new measures include that apart from controlling officers or their designated senior officers all cheques from ministries and government departments should be countersigned by both the Accountant General and the Budget Director or their designated representatives.
