“Only 2.3 Million Litres of 30 Million Litres Supplied in 2023 Reached Malawi, Raising Concerns Over Accountability and Transparency”
By Burnett Munthali
In 2023, the Government of the Democratic Republic of Congo supplied Malawi with a total of 30 million litres of fuel.
However, reports indicate that only 2.3 million litres actually arrived in the country.
This leaves a staggering 27.7 million litres unaccounted for, raising serious questions about where the majority of the fuel went.
Government officials and citizens alike are demanding answers as to who may have diverted or misused the fuel meant for Malawi.
The discrepancy has sparked public outcry, with calls for a full investigation into the supply chain and distribution mechanisms.

Malawians are concerned that such losses could have significant economic implications, including shortages at fuel stations and potential price increases.
Civil society organizations are urging the government to disclose detailed records of fuel imports, distribution logs, and the parties responsible for handling the shipments.
The situation highlights broader concerns over transparency, governance, and accountability in the management of critical national resources.
Stakeholders insist that the people of Malawi deserve to know exactly where these millions of litres of fuel have gone.
As the investigation unfolds, many hope that those responsible for the missing fuel will be held accountable, ensuring that future supplies reach their intended destinations.
