Joyce Banda .
Banda: Am being hunted.

Malawi’s ex President Joyce Banda continues to clear her name on a feared involvement in the massive looting of funds during her adminstration despite being implicated by convicts several times.

Weeks ago, jailed ex Principal Secreatry in the Ministry of Tourism and Culture claimed that Banda who remains outside Malawi, in fear of her life, according to her claims instructed officials in Ministries as well as Cabinet Ministers to siphon money so that she uses the funds in the presidential campaig in 2014, a poll she miserably lost.

Senzani who is serving a 3 year jail term says that Banda’s directive was highly respected because she (Banda) was the sitting President then.

But in a statement Banda released on Sunday, which Malawi24 has seen, the ex President argues that she is being implicated because there are several forces behind the move.

Banda says that Senzani is being pressured by government to implicate her, dubbing the claims by the jailed Principal Secretary as ‘baseless’.

While saying that she is being implicated because government wants her image to be tarnished, she admits that it was not suprising that Senzani made the claims on her.

Banda was also implicated by jailed businessman, Oswald Lutepo and Leonard Kalonga.

Banda however risks to be investigated by the Anti Corruption Burea (ACB), as the graft busting body has hinted that it will go ahead to probe anyone implicated in the scandal.

Banda was also controversially seen in CCTV footages showing her in closed meetings with Lutepo as announced by ex Minister of Information, Kondwani Nankhumwa, before the said videos were not even provided to ACB.

At this time Banda branded the move by government to implicate her as ‘witch-hunting’, somethinmg which has been keeping her outside Malawi in fear of her life.

The scandal which saw Billions of money stolen led to donors pulling out of aid and as it stands over 70 people are answering variuous charges.

  9. She can only to defend herself if she is summoned by the courts. Why should one come and defend oneself as if she has been charged? There is more to this than that meets the eye.

  20. Kodi can we not move away from cashgate and focus on ways to improve our economy. I believe that mechanisms have been put in place that no cashgate shld happen again. Let the courts and ACB do their work.

  23. Why not come and say that in court. Ngakhale mutulutse statement yotsutsa, remember this is coming from ur colleagues in court. Come prove them wrong, else ife kwathu nkudabwa kuti nanga nanga mukukhala ngati mukubisala kunjako bwwaaanji?

  24. I am one of those few who believes that JB failed terribly, for me she lacked authority in her management and that’s why things never worked out for her but I respect the fact she is human,she’s a Malawian and just like anyone of us she can’t live anywhere she wants so long she’s within the law.As it is now it doesn’t mean if she jets in even today tomorrow she will be in court or police or ACB etc No.

  25. NKHANI YOPUSA NGATI IYI MMAI YU ANAGWILA MBAMVA, NDIYE MUNTHU OGWILA MBAVA AMAKHALASO WAKUBA?? ANACHOKA KU MALAWI CHIFUKWA CHA KUCHEPA KWA CHITETEZO CHAKE. OSATI KUTHAWA MILANDU AI.

  55. this woman is making alot of noise in denying her alleged involvement in cashgate. in other countries she could even be charged with recklessness as cashgate happened under her watch apart from her alleged involvement. its time she must come home and present herself in court and the court should found her guilty or not. as long as she continues to stay outside the country and continue making the noise, malawians will lose trust in her.

  57. malawi,my country zaza2kuka ngat tipitirize khalidwe ongolozana chala moti moyang’ana zithu comwe cinga2kule amalawi chomwe ndi ulimi uthirira koma boma lanthu lingofunika kumvomereza pomanga mapipeline kucokera komwe kuli source ya madzi ambili kut anthu ayambe kulimba mbewu yosiyasiyana ngat fodya,nthochi,chimanga ndi zina zotero kut boma lizapindulaso pa ichi kuyamba kupeza nsokho kucokera mlimi omwewo…koma tikamangofalitsa nkhan zoti zilibe phindu even anthu akunenedwawo alibe nazo ntcito peter or joyce banda atati wadwala lero atha kupita cipatala comwe angafuna koma iwe ndine tikhala tikukamba nkhan zawo ndi umphawi wathuwu kufaso mphawi malo moti tilimbikise mboma lathu za ulimi othirira kut ti2kule malawi

  63. Ng’ombe yaikazi siikoka ngolo koma yaimuna yomwe munkanena yagwesa ngoloyo. Inali yolemela kwambili kapena inali yopepuka kwambili?

  66. JB is just being implicated for nothing. There is no tangible evidence to say that she was keeping cashgate loot herself neither funding her peoples psrty. how can she order for a forensic audit knowing well thst she is part of the loot? how can senxani be providing critical evidence after her conviction and sentensing…..All what is being claimed agaist JB is goverment propaganda to vilify her and divert attention on 2007 corrupyion

  67. She is not out of country because of cashgate no, but political matters, as you can see your TIGER HEAD There in Malawi, he is doing nothing for development, wha he knows is to sink Malawi by fighting with other politicians! I Know some Mada fuck will hate me, hate me you’re murder fuck!!

  73. Why you want her back ? If you have serious evidence from those cases why don’t you go to court and open the case against her? Stay f….k away from hearsay.
