BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-The committee of five that engineered the arrest of the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) Director General Martha Chizuma, has convinced President Lazarus Chakwera that if she is not stopped, Chizuma will collapse the administration.
According to inside sources within Tonse Alliance government, the political theory presented by those running away from corruption is that if Chizuma arrests the group of senior Malawi Congress Party (MCP) figured including three cabinet Ministers, the opposition will gang up.
“They say that after the MCP gurus are arrested, a vote of no confidence will be tabled by the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), United Democratic Front (UDF) and UTM demanding a referendum which could result in this Government collapsing,” said one of the persons who was trying to justify Chizuma arrests.
A referendum would require a two thirds majority and even if all parties combine they would still need a few MCP rebels making the whole plot a fallacy as the party has one of the most loyal robotic followers.
President Chakwera has just instituted a commission of inquiry on Chizuma arrest that the report be ready within 14 days.
