The Human Rights Defenders Coalition (HRDC) has revealed that Tadikira Mafubza, a step son to former head of state Peter Mutharika was drawing salaries from two parastatals.
According to HRDC, it is alleged that Tadikira was on the pay roll of Lilongwe Water Board (LWB) and the Roads Authority.
The revelations have been made in a letter addressed to the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) Director, Reyneck Matemba, signed by Gift Trapence and its National Coordinator Luke Tembo.
“HRDC has also received allegations that LWB had on its payroll, President Mutharika’s stepson, Tadikira. His name was reflected in the engineering section. It is alleged that despite being paid by LWB, Tadikira never reported for duties. It is also alleged that his name was also appearing on the payroll of Roads Authority”.
Tadikira is understood to have been employed by the Roads Authority.
Meanwhile, the mentioned parastatals are yet to comment on the allegations leveled against them.
