BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-The country’s graft agency Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) on Monday, April 14, 2025 arrested former Malawi Housing Corporation (MHC) director of administration and corporate affairs Bob Chimkango for allegedly receiving allowances for work that was not related to his role at MHC.

In press statement issued, ACB principal public relations officer Egrita Ndala says the bureau’s investigation established that Chimkango in 2019 obtained from MHC fuel and subsistence allowances amounting to MK7,430,820.00 for attending a High Court constitutional case in Lilongwe.

“The case was unrelated to Malawi Housing Corporation’s interests,” says Ndala.

Chimkango is expected to be charged with abuse of public office, contrary to Section 25B (1) as read with Section 34 of the Corrupt Practices Act.

The suspect is one of key lawyers for opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP).
