Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Eisenhower Mkaka has accused unknown people of defrauding Malawians of Indian origin in his name.

Mkaka confirmed of the development in a statement posted on his official facebook page seen by this publication.

“I gather that some people are on the loose again collecting money from Malawians of Indian origin in my name! Fortunately before joining politics I worked with most of these Malawians of Indian origin when I was in the banking industry. They know my character and I still command respect among them,” wrote Mkaka.

Mkaka has since warned the fraudsters that once caught they will face the law.

“This serves as a stern warning to all those involved in the malpractice and illegality that the long arm of the law will catch up with you! The police will deal with you according to the law!

“At the service of Malawians!,” said Mkaka.

Meanwhile police are yet to arrest anyone.
