The expensive watches together with five hundred thousand US Dollars (US$500,000) or approximately MwK136.35millon if converted at today\u2019s middle rate of $1\/MwK272.70 were found in late Bingu\u2019s bag which were reported stolen from the New State House soon after his sudden death on April 5 2012.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.faceofmalawi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/press_release_distribution_0186325_34904.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-11291\" title=\"press_release_distribution_0186325_34904\" src=\"http:\/\/www.faceofmalawi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/press_release_distribution_0186325_34904-188x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"188\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThe least expensive Rolex watch costs $5,050 or approximately MwK1.4million at the middle rate of $1\/MwK272.70. Knowing late Mutharika\u2019s extravagance, it is doubtful the 13 watches could be of this \u2018low value\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>According to a family source, former First Lady Callista Mutharika and Bingus daughter, Duwa Mubaira shared the spoils in the bag.<\/p>\n<p>The ceremony which took place at the late president\u2019s private mansion, Ndata in Thyolo, revealed the true characters of the widow Callista and Duwa, said the source. According to the source, the two women spoke on top of their voices without regard and respect to the [family] elders who amongst them were brother to the late president, Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika, Mr. Namondwe, Dr. Charles Matabwa. The former Safe Motherhood Goodwill Ambassador had told the gathering that she was taking the money and the valuable watches; saying if anything she was sharing them with Duwa. Nobody argued with the two women over the deceased\u2019s loot.<\/p>\n<p>The family source also told me that the late wa Mutharika\u2019s will is out but not yet ready for the curious public. As soon I lay my hands on it and\/or its contents, this page will be updated accordingly.
