Police in Malawi have arrested former Finance Minister Joseph Mwanamveka and former central bank head Dalitso Kabambe on charges of abuse of office and fraudulent accounting.
A police spokesman said the two, while serving in their respective positions, allegedly procured and masterminded the falsification of financial records with intent to help Malawi secure a loan from the International Monetary Fund.
The two deny wrongdoing, calling the arrest a political witch-hunt.
