ACB director Chizuma appeals for information to investigate corruption which enables forest crime

Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) director-general, Martha Chizuma, has appealed to members of the general public to provide the graft busting body with information that could lead to investigation of long held and widespread allegations that police officers manning roadblocks are receiving bribes to enable the transit of truckloads of illegal charcoal. Chizuma, who took up the position of ACB director-general less than two months ago, made the appeal Monday in the capital Lilongwe during the presentation of a report on the Role of Corruption in Enabling Wildlife and Forest Crime in Malawi. However, the deputy inspector general (DIG) of the Malawi Police Service (MPS) responsible for administration, Merlyne Yolamu, who was present at the function, said these corruption allegations should not only concern police officers and called for what she described as “a holistic approach” in addressing forest crimes, especially the illegal charcoal production.
