Malawi police arrested three Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) gurus namely Joseph Mwanamveka, Ben Phiri and Dalitso Kabambe.

The three have been arrested on issues of fraud, corruption and abuse of office.

A renown social commentator, Onjezani Kenani has said,  the arrest of the three top DPP officials is a welcoming news.

“The arrest of former Finance Minister, Joseph Mwanamvekha, and former Governor of the Reserve Bank, Dr. Dalitso Kabambe, is welcome news. These people are alleged to have falsified Malawi’s accounting to deceive the International Monetary Fund. That is a crime and they must face the law. Innocent, of course, until proven guilty,” he said.

On the arrest of Ben Phiri, Kenani said the ones stealing from the poor must face the punishment

“Anybody who is suspected of stealing from the poor to enrich themselves must be held accountable”.

The three are expected to appear before court soon.
