United Transformation Movement (UTM) Secretary General Patricia Akweni Kaliati has accused government of misusing Covid-19 funds.

Kaliati made the claims during Tonse Alliance campaign rally at Likuni in Lilongwe on Sunday graced by State Vice President Dr. Saulos Chilima who is also runningmate to Dr. Lazarus Chakwera of Malawi Congress Party (MCP).

In her speech, Kaliati said funds meant for COVID-19 pandemic is being shared by few Cabinet Ministers with an aim of enriching themselves.

Kaliati also alleged that Vice President Dr. Saulos Chilima’s foregone salary to the pandemic fight is not being channeled to its intended purpose.

Effort to talk to Minister of Information and Communications Technology Mark Botomani on the matter proved futile.
