By Twink Jones Gadama

President Lazarus Chakwera has reappointed Hilary Chilomba as the Acting Director General of the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB), a move aimed at allowing the Ombudsman to conclude an independent investigation into the shortlisting process of candidates for the position.

According to Presidential Press Secretary Anthony Kasunda, the President’s order was made two days ago, following the expiration of Chilomba’s mandate as acting director general.

The reappointment of Chilomba is a step in the right direction, and it is hoped that the bureau will continue to receive the support it needs to effectively discharge its mandate.

As the investigation by the Ombudsman continues, Malawians will be watching with keen interest.

The outcome of the investigation will have significant implications for the ACB and the fight against corruption in Malawi.
