This what Dr. Chilima said “I accept the charges and will exhaust the due processes. I will go to court as the law requires and present my evidences for legal proof. This is what will be expected from any official in public office. I am accountable to Malawians. And if I am suspected of anything, I must prove my innocence. Everybody who is suspected will undergo the same process that I am going to go through. It is the only way that this country will be liberated from corruption.”
