CHAKWERA: Civil servants also took advantage his weak leadership style and helped themselves to the loot, it was free for all
Shame! President Lazarus Chakwera has been caught up in yet another financial mismanagement scandal, this time the amount is scary, a whopping K17.5 billion!
While the dust is refusing to settle in the infamous K6.2 billion disbursed in August 2020, just two months after taking over government, it has emerged that the K17.5 billion released about two weeks ago was ‘finished’ within one week of its disbursement. Shocking!
The sad tale is that the money which was meant to buy equipment and support Covid-19 victims including our hero frontline health workers, did not for its intended purpose. It was squandered through unbelievable allowances to people not even connected to the Covid fight, politicians mostly MCP stalwarts, we can reveal.
