Joseph Mwanamvekha Arrested

Police in Lilongwe have arrested former Finance Minister in the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) regime, Joseph Mwanamvekha.

Mwanamvekha is also Southern Region vice president for the opposition DPP.

While confirming the arrest, Mwanamvekha’s lawyer Kalekeni Kaphale did not disclose grounds behind the arrest.

However, unconfirmed reports are suggesting that Mwanamvekha has been arrested for his role in the fraudulent activities at the Salima Sugar Company.

In a related development, former Chief Executive Officer for the Malawi Energy Regulatory Authority (MERA) Collins Magalasi has also been arrested.

We are yet to establish reasons behind Magalasi’s arrest.
