Malawi’s pension fund bought a hotel at triple value, raising alarms over safety, rules, and conflicts despite legal approval.
Malawi’s Public Service Pension Trust Fund’s $128.75 billion purchase of the Amaryllis Hotel has triggered national concern over pension fund safety, with the Reserve Bank warning the deal may breach investment rules and create liquidity risks.
Despite the Anti-Corruption Bureau finding no criminal corruption and the Attorney General deeming it legally sound, the transaction faces scrutiny due to a nearly tripled valuation, prior board rejection, and a conflict of interest involving the Attorney General, who also represents the hotel.
The move has sparked debate over financial responsibility versus contractual obligation, with civil society urging reform amid fears the investment could jeopardize civil servants’ retirement savings.
