Former President Peter Mutharika has declined to grant the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) a caution interview on alleged abuse of his Taxpayer’s Idenfication Number (TPIN) by some of his aides when he was still in power.

Mutharika said this in a statement made available to faceofmalawi.

In the statement, Mutharika claims the Bureau has not provided any explaination on the offence he committed; saying he already denied any involvement when Fiscal Police questioned him in August 2020.

The former President said if ACB proceeds with its questions, he will exercise his right to remain silent.
