Former water minister Charles Mchacha and two others were arrested for abuse of office after allegedly using government funds to pay for Mchacha’s honeymoon stay at a hotel.
RUSTENBURG - Malawi’s former water minister Charles Mchacha and two others were released on bail on Friday, Malawi media reported.
The Anti-Corruption Bureau on Friday said the three were arrested for alleged abuse of office involving K539,000 which was allegedly used to pay for Mchacha's honeymoon. "The investigation established that Hon. Charles Mchacha while serving as minister of irrigation and water development abused his office by directing Dr Henrie Njoloma to facilitate access to lodging services and foodstuffs for his advantage and for the advantage of others at Ryalls Hotel in Blantyre using Government of Malawi funds for personal gain under the pretext of lobbying for adjustment of water tariffs," she said in a statement.
