LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-The much awaited meeting between Attorney General (AG) Frank Mbeta and Parliamentary Committee on Public Accounts (PAC) is slated today, Wednesday morning in ongoing Amaryllis Hotel purchase probe.
Mbeta, who twice failed to honour summons, is expected to appear before the committee at 9 AM, as confirmed by PAC chairperson Steven Malondera on Tuesday.
PAC is scrutinising how the hotel was acquired at a staggering MK128.7 billion, nearly three times higher than an earlier market valuation of K47 billion conducted in July 2023.
On Tuesday night, the suspended Principal Officer of Public Service Pension Trust Fund (PSPTF) George Jim, also appeared before PAC, disclosing key details as part of the ongoing investigations.
Jim told the committee that former Secretary to the President and Cabinet Colleen Zamba pushed the trust to purchase the hotel.
Zamba who is also in court for office abuse will face the committee in the ongoing probe.
