President-elect Arthur Peter Mutharika has issued warnings against corruption and improper conduct by officials during the governmental transition period. His spokesperson, Shadric Namalomba, released a statement expressing alarm over reports of public servants approving dubious contracts, processing irregular payments, and conducting unauthorized promotions and transfers. Mutharika declared that such behavior violates the law and betrays the nation's trust.
The incoming leader previously addressed these concerns at his Nyambadwe Residence in Blantyre, and he repeated his demand that all illicit activities stop at once. Officials engaged in these practices will face full legal consequences under his administration. Any unlawful decisions made during the transition will be reversed after he assumes power.
Mutharika takes office as Malawi's seventh president on Saturday, Oct. 4, 2025, following his victory over incumbent Lazarus Chakwera in the Sept. 16 election. His government pledges to prioritize integrity, accountability, and responsible management of public funds while serving all citizens.
