Malawi President’s maintains cordial ties with Vice President despite graft probe
Malawi’s information minister says President Lazarus Chakwera and Vice President Saulos Chilima have always had cordial working relations. Vice President Chilima was arrested and charged with corruption in 2022. He was later stripped of some of his constitutional duties. Now, President Chakwera has tipped the vice president to represent Malawi at Friday’s Tanzania Union Day commemoration. Information minister Moses Kunkuyu tells VOA’s James Butty, corruption allegations against the vice president are being adjudicated in the courts, which have not imposed any travel restrictions.
