BLANTYRE, MALAWI - Malawian President Lazarus Chakwera said Wednesday that efforts to fight corruption would be delayed because a parliamentary panel rejected his choice to head the country s Anti-Corruption Bureau.
Addressing Parliament, Chakwera said he was dismayed and disappointed by the committee s rejection of his nominee, Martha Chizuma, a day earlier. Not only does this decision deny Malawians the services of a strong warrior, but it also delays our plan to empower the ACB to recruit additional prosecutors and implement the National Anti-Corruption Strategy II of 2019-2024, he said.
