BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-A criminal cartel has rocked horns at Malawi Institute of Education (MIE) as MK140 million is reportedly stolen in stealing financing former governing Malawi Congress Party (MCP) campaigns during the last 16 September General Elections.
According to insiders, the criminal cartel of Frank Mtemang’ombe (Executive Director), Austin Kalambo (Director) and Humphreys Bell (Finance Officer) have systematically siphoned over MK140 million to finance the ousted MCP.
The three have been paying for meeting activities that don’t exist using Mthunzi Lodge which belongs to Kalambo in Liwonde.
During the campaign, they paid MK40 million to Kalambo’s lodge for a meeting that never happened.
Immediately after voting when it was clear MCP was losing, Mtemang’ombe took MK100 million “to fund MCP legal battles”.
In an attempt to cover their criminal footprints, Mtemang’ombe, Kalambo and Bell want to pay an exaggerated K110,000 million to Kalambo’s lodge just for a meeting.
In reality, the current meeting will cost K70 million (already exaggerated) but they will also get another receipt of the first K40,000 whose meeting never happened.
This means the MK100 million which they funded “MCP legal battles” has evaporated even after getting a false receipt for the other stolen MK40 million.
More money is stolen than what is discovered. The three bosses have been known to secretly cash bank cheques themselves without involvement of accounts officers, sometimes being sent away by the banks.
Mtemang’ombe reported to MIE without a proper letter of appointment. Bell was kicked out of Malawi Police for financial misconduct. He was also fired from MIE financial misconduct but was bulldozed back into MIE when MCP came in power.
Austin Kalambo is a known MCP youth leaguer who has been insulting President Mutharika on Facebook. His wife stood as an MCP candidate in Mitundu, Lilongwe.
This has failed to get feedback from the trio on several attempts through their mobile phones as we went to press.
