Leader of Anti-Corruption Office in Trouble

Introduction

Gabriel Chembezi is the temporary leader of the Anti-Corruption Bureau in Malawi. A government leader wrote a complaint about him. The complaint says Mr. Chembezi did bad things at work.

Main Body

A pension fund bought a hotel for 74.4 million dollars. This price was too high. The hotel was only worth about 20 million dollars. Steven Kamsiyamo is the head of a government committee. He says Mr. Chembezi tried to change the committee's report. Mr. Chembezi had secret files about some politicians. He told them he could help with their legal problems. In return, he wanted the committee to keep him in his job. Also, Mr. Chembezi has his own law company. That company helped buy the hotel. This is a problem because his office must check the hotel deal.

Conclusion

These stories are not proven yet. Mr. Chembezi has not answered the complaints. The committee will study the hotel deal for one more month. They want to protect the money for retired workers.
