Police in Malawi have issued an arrest warrant for former
President Joyce Banda over a corruption scandal, known as cash-gate, during her
time in office.
Mrs Banda is outside the country and the police have said
they will ask Interpol for help in getting her to come home, a journalist has
tweeted.
Cashgate is the biggest
financial scandal in Malawi's history and involved the loss of some
$250m of state money. Officials were accused of siphoning off the funds during
the presidency of Mrs Banda.
Mrs Banda has not commented on the allegations against her.
