Malawi’s Minister of Natural Resources Eisenhower Mkaka who is also the Secretary General for the ruling Malawi Congress Party (MCP) is yet to comment on his controversial Mercedes Benz which is believed he received from UK based corruption suspect Zuneth Sattar.
A document circulating on social media is indicating that the vehicle in which Mkaka claims ownership is actually one of the cars Sattar shipped in the country in 2020.
A report published by Platform for Investigative Journalism indicate that the UK National Crime Agency, after raiding Sattar’s house in the UK, found a document listing vehicle which Sattar had shipped to Malawi.
One of the items on the list said: “On 26th June 2020 – two Mercedes 5350d L AMG registration KT17OAO and FY65LZE to Walvis Bay, [Namibia]. Value of vehicles £22,350 and £22,550.”
The documents circulating on social media appear to show that the Mercedes 5350d L AMG registration KT17OAO was received in Malawi by Mkaka.
However, the minister has not cleared the air on the same.
