On 19th June 2018, the Anti- Corruption Bureau (ACB) received an allegation that
Criminal Investigations Detective Police Officer, Margaret Mbandambanda of Limbe
Police Station demanded between MK100,000.00 and MK150,000,00 from a relation
of a suspect in order to release the suspect on police bail.
The ACB investigations established that Police Officer Mbandambanda received an
advantage to release the suspect on police bail which is supposed to be granted for
free.
On 28th October, 2020, the ACB arrested Police Officer Mbandambanda. She is likely
to be charged with receiving advantage, soliciting advantage and misuse of public
office contrary to section 24(1) and 25B (1) of the Corrupt Practices Act respectively.
She will be taken to court after the ACB has interviewed her.
