Former Anti-Corruption Bureau Director General Reyneck Matemba and three others have been banned from entering the United States of America for being involved in corruption allegations.
The three others are; former chairperson for the Public Procurement and Disposal of Assets Authority John Suzi-Banda, former Malawi Police Service lawyer Mwabi Kaluba, and former Inspector General of the Malawi Police Service George Kainja.
The four are answering charges in relation to the case involving businessman Zunneth Sattar.
The restriction order has been issued by the US Department of State seen by this publication.
These, according to the statement, are “generally ineligible for entry into the United States, due to their involvement in significant corruption”
“Matemba, Suzi-Banda, Kaluba, and Kainja abused their public positions by accepting bribes and other articles of value from a private businessperson in exchange for awarding a government procurement contract for the Malawi Police Service”
“The United States stands with Malawians working towards a more just and prosperous nation by promoting accountability for corrupt officials, including advocating for transparency and integrity in government procurement processes,” reads part of the statement.
