Saulos Chilima, vice-president of Malawi, has been arrested over allegations of corruption. The country’s Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) announced the development in a statement on Friday. Egrita Ndala, ACB’s spokesperson, said

“I have decided to withdraw all delegated functions from vice president Saulos Chilima,” Malawi’s president said.

Chilima said he would not interfere with the investigations but would challenge his implication within legal means.Speaking on his arrest, the ACB spokesperson said the vice-president would be charged to court on three counts of corruption. “On 25th November, 2022, the Anti-Corruption Bureau arrested Dr. Saulos Klaus Chilima, vice president of the Republic of Malawi on allegation that between March 2021 and October 2021, he received advantage in form of money amounting to USD 280,000 and other items from Zuneth Sattar as a reward for Dr. Chilima to assist Xaviar Limited and Malachite FZE, which are companies connected to Zuneth Sattar to be awarded contracts by the Malawi government,” the statement reads.

“Two counts of receiving advantage for using influence in regard to contracts contrary to section 29 of the Corrupt Practices Act as read with section 34 of the Corrupt Practices Act. “One count of failing to make a full report to a police officer or an officer of the bureau that an advantage had been corruptly given contrary to section 36 of the Corrupt Practices Act.”
