Following intense investigations dug into his many dealings, a minister of Agriculture has been fired from his exalted post.

President Peter Mutharika

The president of Malawi, Peter Mutharika, has dismissed the country’s Agriculture minister.

According to the southern African nation’s information minister, on Wednesday, the Agric Minister was fired following an investigation into maize procurement.

Mutharika ordered an investigation last month into a 34.5 million dollars government maize purchase from Zambia after allegations that the price had been inflated.

“The President has removed from Cabinet George Chaponda as agriculture minister with immediate effect after he was found with millions of money at his residence on Tuesday,” Minister of Information Nicolaus Saudi told Reuters.
