Ellina Mmaka, mentor of the CBCCs in Group Village Head Namasalima, expressed gratitude to JBFI for the support, stating that over 50 children had dropped out of CBCCs after Cyclone Freddy.

The Muvi wa Chilungamo Revolutionary Party (MRP) has called on Malawians, the international community, and the British Government to join forces in appealing against the discontinuance of the corruption case involving Vice President Dr. Saulosi Klaus Chilima.

The party has also sought funding from the British High Commission, the US Embassy, and the European Delegation to intensify its pursuit of justice in the case.

Muvi wa Chilungamo

In a statement signed by President and Commander in Chief Bantu Saunders Jumah and Secretary General Greyson Mikuwa, MRP have expressed concern that Malawi’s poverty and unemployment rates cannot afford to let corruption go unchecked, especially when high-profile government officials are involved.

The party has cited the Watergate scandal in the USA as an example of how corruption cases should be treated with seriousness.

MRP has accused President Chakwera and Vice President Chilima of being aware of the consequences of this corruption case and its potential to bring down their government.

The party has however, vowed to leave no stone unturned in pursuing justice for the 20 million citizens of Malawi, present and future.

The party has acknowledged that all instruments of government are captured, from State House to the Judiciary, and that they will not hesitate to take the matter beyond borders if necessary.

MRP has vowed to ensure that the 53 senior government officials and 31 Civil Society Organizations (CSO) leaders, media managers, and journalists involved in the corruption case face justice.

The party has further expressed outrage at rumors of a K980 billion compensation package for Dr. Chilima in damages, calling it a reward for corruption.

MRP has assured Malawians that it remains a legal political party committed to fighting for justice and will not let the MCP-led Tonse Alliance government under President Chakwera undermine the nation’s progress.

Lazarus Pious, Nezia Banyan, and Jimmy Mkwenda have each been awarded K250,000 from First Capital Bank’s (FCB) ‘Civil Servant Aweruke Promotion.’

FCB conducted its second monthly raffle draw in Blantyre, revealing the lucky winners of the monthly prizes.

The bank’s Marketing Manager, Pachalo Chiyora, said the promotion aims to reward civil servants who have utilized the bank’s loan facility.

To qualify for the draw, civil servants must apply for and access a minimum loan amount of K1 million, giving them the chance to win the grand prize of up to K10 million.

Civil servants were broke during Easter as the Department of Human Resource Management and Development delayed to process their pay for March. The department attributed the delay to the integration of newly recruited healthcare workers on the government payroll for March 2024.

How you receive these cash promotions can vary from one bank to the next. One might direct deposit the money into the new account; another might send you a prepaid debit or credit card in the amount of the cash offer. Again, find out all the details of a promotion before signing up.

Bank loan facilities are financial assistance programs offered by banks and lending institutions to help companies. The main types of facilities are overdraft services, business lines of credit, term loans, and letters of credit. A facility is essentially another name for a loan taken out by a company.

A facility is an agreement between a company and a public or private lender that allows the business to borrow a particular amount of money for different purposes for a short period of time. The loan is for a set amount and does not require collateral.
