CDEDI just went off about billions of kwacha getting wasted on the Lumbadzi greenhouse project while the country got basically nothing back for it. Executive Director Sylvester Namiwa dropped receipts about how the previous government dropped USD 5 million on an Israeli company called Inosselia to build greenhouses, but only 16 actual units got finished, even though each one was supposed to cost 100 grand. The government kept throwing money at it with another K2.2 billion and K2.7 billion going into a joint venture, plus USD 25,000 monthly management fees that started getting paid out a few years back.
The organization sent letters to government officials demanding they claw back foreign currency sitting with Inosselia and publish six years of audited accounts from the operation. CDEDI wants a forensic audit done to figure out exactly how much cash disappeared and an exit plan showing how the Israeli firm will pay Malawians back before bouncing.
They also launched a toll-free whistleblowing line at 4384, where people can anonymously report corruption and abuse of power on both major networks.
