Pressure is mounting on Malawi’s justice system after the Centre for Democracy and Economic Development Initiative (CDEDI) formally called for a full-scale investigation into a shocking fuel scandal involving millions of litres that allegedly vanished under government watch.
In a strongly worded letter to Director of Public Prosecutions , CDEDI is demanding answers over a controversial consignment of 30 million litres of fuel reportedly provided by the during the reign of the .
But what has ignited public anger is the staggering claim that only 1.2 million litres reached Malawi—leaving a jaw-dropping 28.8 million litres unaccounted for, allegedly diverted and sold in while Malawians queued for days amid crippling fuel shortages.
CDEDI Executive Director did not mince words during a press briefing in , questioning why no arrests or dismissals have been made despite former President previously admitting knowledge of corrupt dealings at the .
“It is unacceptable that such serious allegations were made by the Head of State himself, yet no action has followed,” Namiwa charged.
CDEDI now wants Chakwera summoned to the DPP’s office to name those involved and provide concrete evidence—arguing that failure to do so undermines the fight against corruption.
The organization has also called for an expansion of investigations currently being conducted by the Parliamentary Public Accounts Committee (PAC), insisting that NOCMA must not escape scrutiny.
Adding another layer to the unfolding scandal, Namiwa revealed that former Secretary for Energy allegedly holds crucial evidence on how fuel resources were handled, warning that his safety must be guaranteed.
As pressure builds, Malawians are left asking one burning question: Who pocketed the fuel while the nation suffered?
