I have only reproduced it...

f)       Purchase of a K300M Lonhro house in Limbe
g)     To act as surety to Mulli Brothers Ltd’s overdraft facilities with MSB (K5B), NBM (K2.5B), NBS (K2B), First Merchant Bank (K1.2B) and Stanbic Bank (K0.8B)
h)     Money for building a K1.8B mausoleum for his late wife, Ethel
i)       Acquisition of K20B worth of shares in Zimbabwe Commercial Bank
j)       Purchase of a personal K65M Maybach Benz (sent to his farm in Zimbabwe)

n)     Purchase a K38M house in Nyambadwe on August 24, 2010 (from Shanil Muluzi)
o)     K100M February 2010 valentine celebrations

(B) Mutharika would be in a better position to Educate the Malawi Nation on how the below listed unlawful transactions have helped advance the requirements of Prudent Economic Management (as per Section 13(n) of the Constitution) and Sustained Public Trust and Good Governance (as per Section 13(o) of the Constitution):
a)     Mutharika draws K50M from Malawi Savings Bank every two weeks for his personal use
b)     Mutharika got K200M from Reserve Bank of Malawi to buy maize for Robert Mugabe’s Zimbabwe
c)      Mutharika instructed the sale of the old presidential jet without the approval of the National Assembly
d)     Mutharika instructed MRA to surrender 10% of MRA’s revenue to DPP 2014 Campaign
e)     Mutharika instructed ESCOM to give Mulli Brothers Ltd K160M to buy Chitakale Estate

g)     Mutharika instructed the transfer of K5B from Treasury to Masangwi’s shipping company
h)     Mutharika instructed Press Trust and National Bank of Malawi to deposit to his personal account K70M every month
i)       Mutharika instructed government to send 8 vehicles and 4 tractors (that Malawi government received fro the government of Libya) to his farm in Zimbabwe
j)       Mutharika instructed the Reserve Bank of Malawi  to lend the government of Zimbabwe $30m  at a time Malawi was experiencing an acute shortage of forex
k)     Mutharika instructed Treasury to deposit K60M to Malawi Savings Bank to be used towards wooing and silencing NGOs
l)       Mutharika fraudulently pocketed K1.6B through his FBM account from money meant for preparation for 2009 general elections
m)  Mutharika draws K20M allowance each time he makes an internal trip (or on ‘government project’ tours)
n)     Mutharika instructed the Reserve Bank of Malawi to extend to his wife Callista a loan of K160M
o)     Mutharika instructed  government to give his wife Callista a K2M allowance each time she travels away from station
p)     Mutharika instructed the Governor of the Reserve Bank of Malawi to transfer $6m  to his Zimbabwe account
q)     Mutharika fraudulently benefited to the tune of K3.8B  from MTL Privatization proceeds
r)      Mutharika diverted $8m given to the government of Malawi by the government of Taiwan for the Army and Police Marine at Monkey-bay
s)      Mutharika diverted a $50m loan from Taiwan authorized by the National Assemblyfor the construction of the National Assembly
t)      Mutharika instructed government topping of K10M over every Safe Motherhood function
u)     Mutharika set the salary for his wife Callista at K1.3M per month for doing charity work which previously was not salaried work
Section 13(o) of the Constitution requires the President to put in place effective measures which will ‘guarantee accountability, transparency, personal integrity and financial probity’ to strengthen and ensure sustained Public Faith & Trust and Good Economic Governance.    There is ample evidence of financial malpractice by President where existing financial control instruments and systems were deliberately thwarted and frustrated.
(C)   Mutharika would, again, be in a better position to Educate the Malawi Nation on how the below listed corrupt decisions have helped  to subordinate his self-interests to the interests of the people of Malawi in the running of the affairs of the nation (as per Section 88(5) of the Constitution)
a)     Mutharika accepted the selling of Chikangawa Forest to Mulli Brothers Ltd
b)     Paladin Mining Company is depositing $5m every quarter to Mutharika’s Australia account
c)      Mota-Engil is giving Mutharika 50% of all contract proceeds through his Portugal account
d)     Mutharika accepted the award of a K6B government stationary supply contract to Mulli Brothers Ltd (without tender )
e)     Mutharika accepted the award of a K4B government fertilizer subsidy supply contract to Mulli Brothers Ltd (without tender)
f)       Mutharika accepted the award of an K11B government petrol & diesel supply-by-tanker contract to Mulli Brothers Ltd (without tender)
g)     Mutharika accepted the award of a K200M  supply of foods-to-prisons contract in Malawi to Mulli Brothers Ltd (without tender)
h)     Mutharika instructed the Governor of the Reserve Bank of Malawi to offer Mulli Brothers Ltd a $8m loan on February 24, 2011
Section 88(5) of the Constitution forbids the President from using his office for personal gain or placing himself in situations where his material interests conflict with the responsibilities and duties of his office.   The onus is on the President to assure the nation his actions are above suspicion and innocent.
