Several ministers under Malawi's former president, Bakili Muluzi are to face charges connected with the embezzlement of some $92 million from the state, the Chief Prosecutor, Ishmael Wadi, said on Friday. Making his announcement, he remarked, “I am sad to report to the entire nation and the donor community that 10 billion kwacha were lost through fraud and corruption involving some former cabinet ministers”.
