The Catholic Commission for Justice and Peace (CCJP) has expressed dismay over the Anti-Corruption Bureau’s (ACB) selective approach to prosecution of graft cases in Malawi.

The development comes at a time when the investigation of some corruption cases remain stuck despite donors pumping resources towards efforts to end looting of funds meant for development.

Chiphwanya: We are worried.

Reacting on the matter, the CCJP has bemoaned the trend arguing that it makes the public to lose trust in the Malawi’s graft busting body.

Speaking to members of the press in the capital Lilongwe on Thursday, CCJP National Coordinator Martin Chiphwanya said the ACB should strive for independence in handling corruption cases.

“Basically what we want is issues of fairness, there have to be a proper way of handling cases. There shouldn’t be selective application of justice,” said Chiphwanya.

He further called on the ACB to restrain from taking action under political interference arguing that some cases are now stalling because people involved have connections to the ruling party.

Among the cases that are yet to be investigated include the reported MK90 billion kwacha financial mismanagement under the late Bingu wa Mutharika’s government.

Part Two THE ROOT CAUSE WHY PEOPLE DON’T HELP ONE ANOTHER, & ARE CORRUPT. Helping one another is a primary goal of each culture/community/ group/coat/ co-operatvies/schools as well as the society and corruption is getting or providing a service or a product to a person/a company or rather a firm/ an institution that deserves or not deserves it in an abnormal procedure or way of actually getting it. And there are so many reasons why people don’t help & corrupt of which are Because of the end product of corruption, because some one was corrupt and employed an unqualified or incompetent person, who don’t know what they are suppose to do with the service or product (work position/school/contract etc) they have gotten corruptly. Such people have no sense of service when working in public or private institutions for instance those who use politics/ positions for their selfish intereste , instead of saving the people who voted for them, their busy In riching themselves growing there berries like pregnant women. And those in position forgetting to save the people who are main the resone why there are in those positions. Low pay salary/wages most of the employees in government sector and private sector are paid low wages and salaries , there some employees revert to corruption for more financial benefits, we therefore ask the people responsible of salary and wage increaments in both private and government to help our brothers and sisters out there who are working for them by increasing their wages and salaries to help them avoid corrupt practices Corruption is the enemy of development and of good governance. It must be got rid of. Both the government and the people at large must come together to achieve quality national goal. Corruption is one of the world’s largest threat to the well-being of a society. It degrades the quality of the public/private services and also ruins the life of a brother or a sister who doesn’t have connection or financial stability to bribe someone, many countries are affected including our own beloved mother Zambia. Lack of transparency especially at the institution level, and also in less formal organisations, knowing that what you are doing is not seen by every one. Wouldn’t that deter acts of corruption? The only thing we need right now to fight corruption and achieve the goal of @Help_A_Brother_Out_Campaign. Is all of us as individuals to change our mindset or perception towards helping one another. We believe that if we all have the mindset of helping one another without asking for anything in return corruption will surely be the talk of the past. Can you imagine to have a corruption free country wouldn’t that be amazing? Knowing that all that money going into few selfish individuals pokets (accounts) would have helped the country develop in some of LakY and also that in all those positions run by corrupt individuals would have been managed by a corrupt free person there by providing equal opportunities for all regardless of race, status, gender, beautiful or handsome. Cultural environment that condones corruption such as defending or even admiring crooks (you to pay someone in order to get a job/contract/ get a public service fast than others/or to be enrolled at a university and to be given a bursary too or nationalising false arguments with no moral basis like (everyone does it take advantage while you can life is short) yours life might be short true but are you sure you are laying good foundation for your siblings after you are gone? You know the world goes round , what goes up must one time come down, anything can happen you can die to day, you can be fired tomorrow, money comes and goes-your money can end people have lost money on the click of the hand either through fire/stolen/ luxury leaving, your money stolen spiritually (witchcraft) you lose all the wealth you had or the government gets what store from it. And when all this happens you and your siblings or when your siblings are alone you are not there anymore, there will be no connection and no money, what would happen if you layed a foundation of corruption? Low awareness or lack of courage to denounce corruption, that’s a person who is aware of corruption but stays quite, they say it’s not their problem, remember it will affect you one way or another, and you are also just confirming that you are a coward, the truth hurts and let it be told we call a spade – a – spade. Remember our dear brothers and sisters only by working together as one can we achieve these goals of fighting corruption and helping out a brother or sister you know not without asking for anything in return. Let’s make a better world tomorrow for everyone. And yes together we can. To read, like, share and support the campaign follow the link below. https://free.facebook.com/ Help.a.Brother.Out.Campaign
