For two years, the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has operated without a substantive director general while the National Anti-Corruption Strategy expired 20 months ago, weakening the graft fight. National Anti-Corruption Alliance chairperson Michael Kaiyatsa said yesterday that the delays to address the gaps demonstrate a lack of urgency and commitment to the graft fight. | Nation“Without a new national anti-corruption strategy, Malawi lacks a coordinated roadmap. Interviews for a substantive ACB head were conducted on April 15 and 16 2026, with recommendations submitted to the President. But anti-corruption compliance specialist Modester Mandala Gondwe, in an interview yesterday, argued that acting leadership cannot drive major reforms.
