BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-Busted! It has been emerged that suspended Malawi Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) Director General George Kasakula and colleagues plundered funds amounting to over MK400 million meant to be given to staff members for election coverages in just a month.
Documents in our possession indicates that Kasakula in collaboration with Jack Kamwachale, Monica Likoswe only gave election allowances to Malawi Congress Party (MCP) operatives living out those deemed Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) cadets.
However according to the bank statement, disappointing thing is that names of those cadets are appearing on list but none of them were given the allowances.
In addition, the allowances were given to MCP operatives who had just joined MBC three months ago and they are on probation while others on contract.
Among others, Mphatso Tebulo, Charity Kabano and Tupochere Phambala who were just a month old by elections date were given election allowance and being tasked to be a supervisor living professionals who served MBC between 20 to 17 years now.
Inside sources reveal that “This is a strange thing to happen at MBC because traditionally when it’s election time each staff member was automatically given election allowance as long as that person is on duty at that particular period”.
Call to investigate
There is however public calls for authorities including the Anti-Corruption Bureau Bureau (ACB) to institute tan investigation on the matter.
Meanwhile, Kasakula, Kamwachale, Monica Likoswe and colleagues also needs to explain where they are keeping proceeds of plots they sold at Ngumbe, Matiya, Nsanje and other places.
Not only that Kasakula also needs to be investigated for lieing that he has procured an Outside Broadcasting Van and the issue of massive recruitment without any job placement.
Effort to delete audit information
It is established that someone at internal Audit team has been tasked to tamper with all documents Kasakula and his team used to siphon funds so that when government external auditors go to MBC should find nothing.
As agent of darkness have been sent to distort information in office computers but we are in possession of the said documents about abused funds on OB Van (Italy) Plots and MEC election money.
Unholly salary Increment
Our team has also discovered that Kasakula and his MCP messinaries had their higher salary increament as compared to other staff of the same grade or even high and below. This demotivated majority of the employees at MBC.
Suspicious recruitment
Ousted MCP recruited George Kasakula as MBC DG, Jack Kamwachale as Director of Finance, Aiden Gumen as Director of Engineering, Theresa Sunganani as Director of Commercials, Chisomo Mwamadi as Public Relations Manager, Rex Chikoko as Director of News, Kettie Kujaliwa as Director of Programmes, Emmanuel Thuwala as Controller Radio One, Takondwa Jumbe Regional Manager Centre, Monica Likoswe Controller Finance, Peter Makawa Regional Manager (who has ran away from Malawi to US), Thoko Chikuse IT Manager.
This publication understands that Kasakula and the team continued on recruitment up until a week after 16 September, 2025.
Kasakula is on suspension pending office abuse investigation.
