The National Anti-Corruption Alliance (NACA) says it welcomes the impending arrest of Minister of Lands, Housing and Urban Development, Honourable Kezzie Msukwa and businessman, Ashok Kumar Sreedharan, also known as Ashok Nair, for suspected corruption in land deals.

The Alliance comprises Church and Society of the CCAP Synod of Livingstonia, Centre for Human Rights and Rehabilitation, Youth and Society, as well as Malawi Law Society.
In a statement released a short while ago, the Alliance calls upon the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) to prosecute those arrested without delay and according “to international fair trial standards”.

The statement further reads: “As an Alliance, we do not want to see any delays to the case considering that the arrests are coming after thorough investigations by the ACB, which, we understand, have so far established that Hon. Msukwa corruptly used the privileges of his office contrary to section 25 (1) as read together with section 34 of the Corrupt Practices Act. ”
