Kalua spent almost the whole 2016-2017 sessions of parliament threatening that he will name and shame the seven corrupt cabinet ministers. However, on 27 April 2017, the Malawi Revenue Authority (MRA) officers accompanied by armed police raided the houses of Kalua and his son Penjani where they seized his Mercedes Benz and a Toyota V8 belonging to the son on allegations that they were smuggled into Malawi. A day later, the police went back to Kalua’s house with their own search warrant and towed a grounded Jeep belonging to the MP on allegations that it was stolen-. The vehicles were returned a week later after Kalua obtained a court injunction. Same week Kalua was reportedly missing, only to be found a week later with hands and legs tied with blue twine strings, but without any trace of bruises. He also was clean shaven with clean clothes and a clean Jacket on his shoulders. This led people to allege that Kalua staged his own abduction. Police threatened to prosecute Kalua for faking abduction. (en) |
