Concerns have been raised regarding alleged misconduct and management issues at Airport Developments Limited (ADL), particularly involving Finance Director Mabvuto Chibhogha.

Reports indicate that Mr. Chibhogha rose from Finance Manager to Finance Director, though some staff members question the process and adequacy of references involved in his appointment. Staff have also expressed dissatisfaction with policy changes introduced under his leadership—specifically the introduction of reduced travel allowances, with claims that this has caused financial strain for employees required to travel for official duties.

It has also been reported that some employees stationed at Chileka Airport have not yet received outstanding arrears, while Mr. Chibhogha recently traveled to South Africa to obtain quotations for the company. Additionally, concerns have been raised about alleged preferential treatment in staff promotions and claims that company resources may have been used for personal benefit.

Some staff members further allege that Mr. Chibhogha is frequently absent from duty, reportedly dividing his time between several districts, which they believe affects operational efficiency. There are also perceptions that his relationship with the current CEO is strained, with suggestions that he may have previously aspired to the CEO position.

These concerns reflect sentiments circulating among staff and stakeholders, but they remain allegations and have not been independently verified. A formal review or audit could help clarify the situation and ensure transparency within the organization.

Former DIG Muwanga Faces Imminent Jail Term

Cables can confirm that former Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Ackis Muwanga is heading for a jail sentence.

His downfall appears inevitable, as mounting evidence continues to expose his deep involvement in abuse of office , theft , corruption and fraud.

Cables indicate that Muwanga’s greed led to his own undoing and downfall.

He became personally involved in duping people, abandoning any sense of integrity expected from a senior law enforcement officer, a Deputy Inspector General for that matter promoted by his cousin former President Chakwera who was begging worse than a constable traffic police officer on the road.

As one cable put it in vernacular, “Ngati mnyamata wakatapa K2,000, Muwanga analibe masewera umabweza” — meaning even the smallest amount was not safe in his hands.

Now, Muwanga faces only three options:
1. To flee once he gets bail
2. To take his own life, or
3. To face justice — with prison clearly waiting for him.

Reliable cables reveal overwhelming and tangible evidence against him, evidence so solid that it will be difficult to dispute in court.

Welcome to Maula, Former DIG Ackis Muwanga.

Cables warned you but you never listened .

When Police Deputy Inspector General Were Masterminders of Abductions: Case of Muwanga.

Two senior police officers, Loudon Nthinda and Ackis Muwanga, appeared before the Senior Resident Magistrate’s Court in Blantyre today, facing serious criminal charges including abduction, extortion, abuse of office, and money laundering.

Nthinda, 52, from Malewa Village, T/A Chiseka, and Muwanga, 50, from Nsandula Village, T/A Kabudula, both of Lilongwe District, according to a charge sheet read in Court, are accused of abducting three individuals, Yasir Haji Yousuf, Muhammad Imran Moosa, and Imran Abdul Rasheed, on June 15, 2025, in Blantyre.

At the time the alleged offences were committed, Nthinda served as Crimes Superintendent in the Malawi Police Service, while Muwanga held the position of Deputy Inspector General of Police (Operations).

The prosecution, represented by Director of Criminal Litigation in the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP’s) Chambers, Dzikondianthu Malunda, alleges the victims were forcibly taken with the intent to subject them to ransom, in violation of Section 263 of the Penal Code.

On June 20, 2025, the accused allegedly attempted to extort the same individuals in Lilongwe by threatening to implicate them in money laundering. The fourth count, under Section 305(1)(a) of the Penal Code, outlines this extortion attempt.

The fifth and sixth counts involve abuse of public office and money laundering. The State lawyer claims that at the National Police Headquarters in Lilongwe, the officers used their positions to unlawfully obtain K1.3 billion from the victims. The funds are believed to be proceeds of corruption, laundered in contravention of the Financial Crimes Act.

During the bail hearing, Malunda strongly opposed the release of the suspects. He argued that due to their high-ranking positions in the Malawi Police Service, Nthinda and Muwanga could interfere with ongoing investigations if granted bail. He asked for 14 days to allow completion on the investigations.

The defence maintained that the accused are entitled to bail and pledged cooperation with the authorities. However, the court has adjourned the matter to November 18, 2025, when a ruling on the bail application is expected.
