ACB Clears State House From MK65 Million Crossroads Hotel Bill Scandal

The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has cleared State House of any wrongdoing on allegations that it accommodated some foreign guests at Crossroads Hotel at an inflated rate.

In October last year, reports emerged indicating that State House ‘hosted’ ghost visitors at Crossroads Hotel in Lilongwe in a syndicate meant to defraud the public purse.

Invoices that circulated on social media showed that State House paid the hotel over K50 million in bills and, following public pressure, the Anti-corruption Bureau (ACB) promised to investigate the matter.

In a statement released today made available to faceofmalawi, ACB Public Relations Officer Egrita Ndala has said the bureau has established no wrongdoing in the hotel payments.

It has since closed the case.
