Chizuma inquiry misses deadline

FILE: Martha Chizuma at Namitete Police

A Commission of Inquiry that President Lazarus Chakwera instituted to investigate the arrest of Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) Director Martha Chizuma has failed to meet a 2 weeks deadline for submission of findings.

The commission is being chaired by retired Justice Edward Twea and other members include former Ombudsman Enock Chibwana, former police inspector general Loti Dzonzi, Senior Chief Tengani, Reverend Elsie Tembo, accountant Innocencia Chilombo and Oxfam Director Lingalireni Mihowa.

Others are Gift Mwakhwawa, Maureen Kachingwe and Cassim Mdalla Amuli, Monsignor Patrick Thawale and Frank Kalowamfumbi as administrative secretary.

Recently, Information Minister Gospel Kazako said findings of the commission will help Chakwera make an informed decision on the arrest.

Chizuma was arrested in controversial circumstances on December 6 at her home in Lilongwe at 4am on charges levelled against her by the then suspended Director of Public Prosecutions Steven Kayuni.

The ACB director Chizuma was immediately taken to Namitete police station and released five hours later after a public uproar and her charges were withdrawn.

  1. Prominent people wasting their time with such useless inquiry. I am not sure why Twea with his good reputation wants to turnish his image with such political stupidity

  2. Chakwera is a very weak personality and he says do this and it doesn’t happen on time .Even this Chizuma board of Inquiry won’t be completed on time because no person respects Chakwera as President because he doesn’t behave as President. He behaves like a pastor of Assemblies of God he is not taken serious.
    A President must be able to fire people who abuse their positions just like this little boy called Kayuni he must be fired instantly unless he got instructions from Chakwera himself.
    This Inquiry is not necessarily and a waste of taxpayers money.
    It’s a sign of weakness and lack of decisiveness from inept leadership of this clueless Chakwera.
    It’s high time Chakwera himself is fired from his job.
