Kapito angry with Parliamentary inquiry over maize saga: they are just a fault finding mission


John-Kapito

Executive Director of Consumers Association of Malawi (CAMA) John Kapito has accused the joint parliamentary committee probing the maize deal of conducting a fault finding mission based on mere speculations.

Kapito made the accusations when he appeared before the joint parliamentary committee investigating the Zambia-Malawi maize deal.

Last week CAMA released its own findings on the maize deal which concluded that Minister of Agriculture George Chaponda did not interfere in Admarc’s procurement of 100,000 metric tonnes of maize from Zambia. The committee thus wanted the organisations to explain its findings as part of the inquiry.

Faults the independent inquiry: Kapito

During the appearance, Kapito insisted that there was no money stolen through the maize deal hence the committee is wasting taxpayer’s money.

“What the commission is doing is just a fault finding mission since there is no money that has been stolen,” he said.

He also stood by his organisation’s findings that Malawi has not paid any money for any maize that has so far been imported from Zambia and that less than 5000 metric tonnes has been delivered.

“I cannot comment on speculation and as far as our study finding are concerned no money was paid to Zambia,” said Kapito.

Chaponda and suspended Admarc boss Felix Mulumbe are accused of engaging a middleman, Kaloswe company, in the purchase of maize from Zambia in order to get K9 billion from the deal.

The two have however denied that there were any shady dealings in the procurement of the maize.

  1. Wadya banzi iwe ikutsamwa imeneyo, it is not over until it is over. Its like a football game when your opponent leads by 2 goals in the first 15 minutes you dont give up and say well the match is over. The inquiry is dealing with the learned and professionals when it comes to corruption. No matter how organized they were they might have miscalculated somewhere and that point is where the case will be built. If there is no misconduct in their dealings they will be cleared.

  2. Kapito can only fool those who didn’t watch the LIVE procedure on Zodiak. He was instead lectured as Cama ceo….. Kkkkkk. Go and enjoy your K23million offer to betray u your office.
