Two Germans, Aaron Landt and Julian Balko, have been given a seven-day deadline by Blantyre City Mayor Joseph Makwinja to disclose the names of Blantyre City Council (BCC) officials allegedly demanding bribes for charity work.
During a press briefing at civic offices in Blantyre this morning, Makwinja said, “The corruption allegations are serious and could tarnish the BCC’s image.”
He warned, “If they fail to provide the names of the said officers within seven days, we will instruct our lawyers to pursue the matter further.”
This development follows a recent meeting between Balko, Landt (who is also the CEO of the Landt Foundation), and Vice-President Michael Usi at Mudi State Residence, where they expressed concerns about the conduct of the officials.
