The Anti-Corruption Bureau arrested Mzimba North lawmaker Yeremiah Chihana for suspected corruption and money laundering. He will face court tomorrow regarding these charges. Opposition groups claim the ruling Malawi Congress Party, led by President Lazarus Chakwera, is targeting political rivals. His lawyer confirmed authorities are taking Chihana to Mzuzu from Blantyre, where they detained him.

A government arrest warrant circulated on social media earlier today. The document states that officials suspect Chihana misused public office, failed to declare interest, and engaged in money laundering. The politician has repeatedly criticized President Chakwera's administration. He previously claimed corruption plagued the Affordable Inputs Program, alleging K30 billion disappeared from its K188 billion budget.

Chihana said he possessed evidence supporting these claims about government wrongdoing. His criticisms extend beyond just fertilizer subsidies. He also demanded an independent investigation into Vice President Saulos Chilima's death. Chihana wanted a special commission to examine what happened to the late vice president.
