More cashgate in ministry of foreign affairs

Fresh revelations show that there has been more
looting involving top officials at the ministry of
foreign affairs.
According to a whistle-blower, officials at the
ministry stole $150,000 (K101 million) by sending
it to Malawi Embassy in Dubai.
The ministry claimed that the money was meant
for paying rentals but the Malawi Consular at the
Dubai Consulate refused to use the money.
Ministry officials told her to send the money to
Egypt but she gave them a cold shoulder and
insisted on sending it back to Malawi.
“I have the hope that soon the PS for Foreign
Affairs will also explain about the $150,000 which
was sent to Dubai Consulate which the Consular
refused it and I know that Government does not
foot bills for consular offices but it was a trick!
“The Consular literally told the Foreign Affairs
Ministry that she doesn’t need Malawian monies
and was advised to send it to Egypt but she
again refused and said will send it back to
Malawi and by that time the PS and The Minister
had already arranged to go and see the Money,”
wrote a well-known whistle-blower, Julius Mithi.
This comes at a time when ministry of foreign
affairs officials are accused of stealing K293
million using Malawian embassies across the
world.
