Malawi’s National Assembly Speaker, Sameer Suleman, says institutionalised corruption will continue to impoverish the country unless it is dismantled. He accuses officials of misappropriating, among other things, fertiliser funds intended for poor households and calls for prosecutions, according to Mwnation.

Malawi’s National Assembly Speaker, Sameer Suleman, has called for the dismantling of the corruption system, saying the country would remain trapped in poverty without such a break. He spoke during a prayer organised by Jamat Area 13 Mosque in central Lilongwe, Mwnation reports.

Suleman accused some people within the system of obstructing his anti-corruption efforts. He said public funds intended for citizens were being misappropriated without those responsible being arrested or prosecuted, citing in particular money earmarked to buy fertiliser for poor households.
