Chizuma, to be One of the Key Witnesses in Sattar’s Corruption Case in UK

Former Director General of Anti Corruption Bureau, Martha Chizuma will be paraded in Westminster Magistrates’ Court in UK as one of the key witnesses in bribery case involving Zuneth Sattar, case number 00NS5051220.

A good number of officials in Chakwera’s Administration are implicated in this case such as Prince Harvey Kampondamgaga, the Chief of Staff to President Lazarus Chakwera whose name appears four times on the charge sheets laid before a British foreign courtroom.

There are recorded voices to be played by the jury in court that will send shivers into the nervous Chakwera’s inner circle where it is believed that even family members will be exposed.

In 2022, Martha Chizuma was arrested in the wee hours of Tuesday, 6 December 2022 after submitting a report to President Chakwera containing a list of names of people who were expected to answer charges of corruption in connection with Zeneth Sattar.

One of the high profile people mentioned in the report was the deceased Vice President Saulos Chilima who was accused of receiving payments amounting to $280,000 and other items from British businessman Zuneth Sattar in return for awarding Malawian government contracts.

Shockingly the late Vice President Dr Saulos Chilima was one of the few who were charged in Malawi in this bribery case but the case was dropped under very strange circumstances days before his death.

Currently, it is ironic that instead of arresting those that have been mentioned in the UK court, MCP government is busy arresting members of the opposition DPP such as Hon. Jappie Mhango, MP in order to draw public attention away from the case underway in UK.

Three years down the line, President Chakwera is still sitting on a report submitted to him by Former Anti-corruption Bureau Director General Martha Chizuma in connection to Zuneth Sattar bribery case involving many MCP government officials. Zuneth Sattar has appeared in the UK court but did not speak. He is yet to take a plea probably after 3 months from now.

Meanwhile, the former Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) Director General, Martha Chizuma is now working at the World Bank in Washington D.C.

The Minister stated that for a country to succeed in delivering healthcare services, it needs dedicated and goal-oriented workers. ”The measles campaign was launched last month, and within two days, this center managed to vaccinate 6, 000 children. This only demonstrates commitment, good planning, and strong relationship with the community that this center has and a testament to the hard work of these healthcare workers,” she said. Chiponda urged mothers and guardians to bring their children for vaccination, as the government aims to eliminate the disease from the country. Biwi Health Centre Clinical Officer In-Charge, Ella Khaiya Lungu, thanked the Minister for visiting the facility saying they have succeeded in the campaign because of good planning. “We informed the community about the importance of the vaccine before it arrived, so the people were ready to bring their children for vaccination since they already knew how important the vaccine was for their children’s health,” she said. Malawi has since reported 683 measles cases since October 2024 and is conducting a five day vaccination campaign in six districts, namely: Nkhotakota, Salima, Ntcheu, Mangochi, Blantyre and Lilongwe.
