Malawi’s Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has arrested the country’s Vice-President Saulos Klaus Chilima for allegedly receiving Sh34 million ($280,000) from British tycoon Zuneth Sattar in exchange of government tenders.

ACB says Chilima, 49, allegedly received the bribe between March 2021 and October 2021.

ACB further claims that Sattar gave out the bribe to the vice-president so that his companies, Xavier Limited and Malachitte FZE, could be awarded government tenders.

Xavier, a private limited company, said on its profile that it was involved in “support activities”.

“Dr Chilima will be taken to court where he is expected to be charged as follows: three counts of corrupt practices by a public officer, two counts of receiving advantage for using influence in regard to contracts and one count of failing to make a full report to a police officer or an officer of the bureau that an advantage had been corruptly given,” said Egrita Ndala, the spokesperson of Malawi’s Anti-Corruption Bureau, on Friday, November 25.

Controversy-riddled Xavier Limited, which was founded on May 20, 2017, was dissolved on October 13, 2020.

The company’s headquarters was in Bolton, England.

Country that take accountability seriously.

Yet in Nigeria here, a certain man, Peter Pandora was caught with 250m naira cash in his car. When he was trying to sneak it into lagos state in 2009.

This same man was involved in a secret oversea business. These are businesses he clandestinely set up and operated overseas, including in notorious tax and secrecy havens in ways that breached Nigerian laws. Which was blown open by the Pandora findings.

This same man diverted billions of anambra state money into his daughter oversee account, invested the few funds left and ran it into historical loss. Where the present governor of Anambra state had to scream so loud for the world to know..

This same man declared openly that he lives, wine and dine with Ipob.

And many more....

Yet, this same man is a presidential candidate in Nigeria here contesting for the sit of Power. Being champion and cheerlead by aggressive, insulting, disrespectful bullies who thinks he is the best thing after chocolate.

Naija... SMH

In Nigeria, they prefer to only go after boys scamming $100, $200 and other petty financial criminals.
