By IOMMIE CHIWALO

The Centre for Democracy and Economic Development Initiatives (CDEDI) has given the Malawi Revenue Authority 14 days to publicly explain what happened to the K16.5 billion Mapeto tax evasion case, three years after five top company executives were arrested.

In a letter dated May 4, 2026 and addressed to MRA Commissioner General through Counsel Felix Tambulasi, CDEDI Executive Director Sylvester Namiwa says Malawians deserve “closure” on the high-profile case.
