Former president Dr Joyce Banda has accused government of bloating Covid-19 figures and abusing resources meant for the fight against the pandemic in the country.
Speaking at a Tonse Alliance mega rally in Blantyre on Monday, Banda claimed that the government is deliberately increasing Covid-19 cases in order to receive donor funding.
“They have imported a dead body from South Africa to increase the number of Covid-19 deaths in the country, so that people will be scared ahead of the fresh presidential elections,” alleged Banda.
While acknowledging the presence of the disease in the country, Banda said: “Covid-19 is real but the way this country is handling corona virus resources leaves a lot to be desired.”
“The way government is abusing Covid-19 funds from the donor community is disheartening as much is being spent on allowances than for the intended purposes”.
