The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has rejected a request by Malawi Revenue Authority (MRA) Deputy Director General Rosa Mbirizi to change ownership of her car Toyota Hilux Reg number MH 3603 to be in the name of Mr Lawson Mtasa.

This has been disclosed in a letter dated July 2, 2020 addressed to Mbirizi signed by ACB Chief Investigations Officer Mr V.J Liwonde.

“You referred to the Bureau a list of requests on the above subject under your three letters dated 30th, 1st July and 2nd July 2020.

“We have examined our records and establish that there is no reason for stopping the change of ownership as requested for the vehicles on the attached lists. However, the Bureau has not cleared the vehicle listed below because the proposed transfer is being scrutinized,” reads in part the letter.

Mbirizi is being accused of being a Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) cadets and is under investigations for authorizing the former President Peter Mutharika to import 400,000 bags of cement on duty free.
