MALAWIAN President Bakili Muluzi has sued a newspaper for publishing a story that claims he masterminded a $2m government corruption scheme. The independent weekly Chronicle said Muluzi organized a scheme to award building contracts to supporters, who in turn gave money to his party for last year’s general elections. The newspaper based its story on a leaked copy of a report filed with the government public accounts committee, which is investigating corruption in the education ministry. The newspaper will not retract nor apologise.
