President Peter Mutharika has admitted that corruption remains a big challenge in government.

Mutharika made the sentiments during an interview with Zodiak Broadcasting Corporation.

Peter Mutharika
APM: There is indeed corruption.

Mutharika said there are some government departments like Admarc where corruption has been taking place.

He however said his government is fighting the vice as some people have been fired and others suspended.

”There is indeed corruption. We’ve seen that at Admarc where corruption is taking place but corruption cannot end by pointing figures at one another but we are trying to deal with it as some people have been fired and some being suspended,” said Mutharika.

Mutharika expressed disappointment with some media houses which he said are still reporting that he is shielding seven corrupt ministers.

“I respect journalism, because I have a journalism background but I do not like journalism without responsibility as some continue to report that I am shielding 7 corrupt ministers when that’s not the case because such ministers are not there, I am not shielding anyone,” he said.

He also cited the firing of former agriculture minister George Chaponda as evidence that he is not shielding anyone accused of corruption.

On issues of hunger, Mutharika said his government has made sure that no one has died of hunger and as long he is the president of the country no one will die of hunger.

  2. ‘Action speaks louder than word” if he is aware of this issue why he is just seeing them misusing gvt funds and how can they stop if you r protecting them? Why not providing solutions to reduce or end Corruption . APM is the one encouraging corruption, if they are corrupt why r u working with them? U r just talking without action can u expect change? Let them face the Law

    1. Just imagine am getting 50,000 as my salary and akudula tax about 8599, am paying rent 15000, can I survive with that,,,,this can automatically force me to that malpractice,,,,

  7. Akudziwa koma poyamba amakana kuti boma lake mulibe corruption..kkkkk Peter sungamuvetsetse mutu sugwira ntchito bwinobwino .

  8. And should admit it point blank that it’s not as easy as a,e,i,o,u to stamp it out. We said it before. Politicians whether in opposition or govt are the most corrupt folks of all times. Rhetoric admittance is dangerous. Take action Mr. President.

  9. Then do something. Do what are you waiting for. For Chakwera to say something then go call people mad. Its very. Funny that he see the problem but do nix.

  10. The worst Malawian President since multi party system of government.
    He has no solutions to all problems facing the country.
    I honestly doubt if he is a bona fide Malawian.
    Can this man enjoy bonya?
    He can not even pronounce words in Chichewa or Lomwe, who brought this man.
    He has lived all his life in US that’s why he is ignorant about CASH GATE(577 billion) FURNITURE GATE(64 million)
    Let’s give him a name;
    His name is
    NO POWER ALL DAY.

  11. Corruption is rampant because you are providing an enabling environment for corruption to flourish! You keep under your wings corrupt criminals, you protect and shield them you assure them of their immunity to prosecution. You know exactly what should be done to deal with corruption, even yourself you are one of perpetrators of corruption, remember the Malawi Housing houses that you almost bought for nothing? You think you can cheat malawians? You are always interfering with ACB and deny its full autonomy in a bid to protect your corrupt acts and those of your accomplices! Gone are days that you can cheat malawians

    1. ….within the context of your assertion that everyone is corrupt(something I don’t agree) then we expect those charged with responsibility to crack down corruption cases to do so, conclude the cases and show us results

    2. I think some people are making money on commenting such useless comments. Plz you must be your age let us give respect where it is due bcoz it’s not on to be brespheming Mr president with such nonsense words. If you know that you have full wittness on corrupting issues that APM is doing. Why don’t you do something so that he must be handcuffed, you realy know that you can’t. So why wasting your time poking nose on things that are endless. Wait for 2019.

    3. # Charles equally if you find this discussion useless why don’t you just shut up? Who begged you to comment here if we are wasting time that’s our time not yours! If you have a brain and eyes what other evidence do you want to confirm that perpetrators are brought to book, you have a corrupt mind that politicize everything it’s not about elections but issues of national interest

  12. lets come together and deal with this problem as one.I was watching south Africa parliament I tell people are serious to deal with corruption .mps plus other parliament commit they don’t tolerate nonsense like our parliament. do u see what they deal with Zuma?

  13. this is useless ,he is lyng this guy. rmmber dont take Malawian “s grntd ,who born yesterday kut amalawi asaziwe Zomwe abwanawa akutinamiza ,coz tikumva kuwawa tikamaona maiko omwe anali kumbuyo kwaife akuchita bwino, nanga corruption ya ku escom bwanji sakunena pomwe amalawi akuvutika ndi magetsi komaso umpha wi, plz Mr presdnt akambani zina osati izi mukutinamizazi, this story mukamuuze mwana ali ku mkaka, dats why mwana wina anakufutsan kut ndi Xmas iyi ,tinjoya bwanji opanda magetse ,can u make sense kut mwana wang’ono paka kufutsa funso ngat limenelo?
