The US State Department has banned four former senior Malawi officials including former police chief George Kainja and former Solicitor General and Secretary Of Justice Reyneck Matemba from entering the US over corruption allegations.
Others are former director of public procurement and disposal of assets John Suzi-Banda and former police service attorney Mwabi Kaluba.
The four were said to have been involved in significant corruption and the ban extends to their spouses.
The former officials are also facing charges in Malawi after they were named on a list of more than 80 prominent Malawians accused by the anti-graft body of having corrupt dealings with a British businessman, Zuneth Sattar.
