A notice from ACB Director-General Reyneck Matemba has stopped Electricity Supply Corporation of Malawi (Escom) from paying Plastic Extrusion Industries Limited directly or through their lawyers Ritz Attorneys at Law a sum of K56,460,643.55.

According to Matemba, halting the payment follows   investigation into the impending payment and another amount of K26 million, which was paid for what Matemba cannot disclose at the moment.

“We have a law which we follow when carrying out duties. If someone broke the law, stealing public money and property, they should not expect that the ACB, Police or Financial Intelligence Authority or MRA will spare them because they are politicians. We won’t,” Matemba warned, last month.
