Judge Mtambo demands Kasambara’s comprehensive bill of health: ‘Conflicting medical reports’
High Court judge Micheal Mtambo has demanded a comprehensive medical report from Blantyre Adventist Hospital on bill of health of former minister of Justice and Constitutional Affairs Raphael Kasambara.
Kasambara, who is facing a charge of conspiracy to commit murder in the case of the shooting of former Ministry of Finance budget director Paul Mphwiyo, has been hospitalised at the facility after the revocation of bail conditions last month.
Mtambo issued the order on Tuesday after the State through Director of Public Prosecutions, Mary Kachale asked the court to issue the order after getting what she called “conflicting medical reports” from two medical doctors on the same.
Kachale’s application came after lawyer representing Kasambara family members, Manuel Theu served the court and the DPP medical documents one from Kasambara family doctor Luano Kalongolera which said the former justice’s health need serious observation for the next 21 days and that he can only be fit for trial after the said days .
But in another letter of reference signed by heart specialist from Holland, doctor David Saunders of Blantyre Adventist hospital, says Kasambara has to be observed for three days before he can be able to stand trial.
Theu then asked the court to adjourn the case based in doctor Kalongolera report, who he said is the right person since he is the family doctor who understand the health background of Kasambara and he is the only one who can understand his bill of health.
But the State’s top prosecutor questioned on what capacity doctor Kalongolera issued the medical report instead of the hospital which he is admitted to.
She queried that Kalongolera was not supposed to issue the sworn affidavit but Blantyre Adventist hospital since its where Kasambara is receiving medical help.
The DPP also questioned if indeed doctor Kalongolera did the affidavit in consultation with doctors from the hospital, saying if they did so she wondered why there are conflicting statements on Kasambara fitness to stand trial.
Kachale then asked the court to issue order to Blantyre Adventist hospital to issue a “comprehensive report” on Kasambara’s health.
The DPP said though she doesn’t want to read much into what is contained in the medical report as its private issue, she referred to the judge the “same conduct” of Kasambara during the ‘State vs. Kasambara case’ when Kasambara was also admitted at Mwaiwathu hospital in February 2012.
Kachale dismissed the report from Kalongolera, saying the court should not attach any weight to it on the grounds that it was baseless.
She said: “Why should the court attach any weight to Kalongolera’s report? Blantyre Adventist Hospital have capable doctors who can ably write a comprehensive report on their patients, why should some doctor based in Zomba do the report on their behalf?
“Secondly, no one is not fit to stand trial unless they prove they are mentally disturbed. Being a [medical] doctor, I think he should refrain from making such statements. As State, we want Blantyre Adventist to comment on the report and its findings.”
The Judge then issued the order to the Blantyre Adventist hospital doctors to issue a comprehensive medical report to the court by Wednesday 9 am and he has since adjourned the case to Wednesday 14th October 2015 at 2:30 pm.

Don’t worry about rk as a lawyer he knows what keeps suspects out prisons cause the law will accept it he knows what could prevent him from imprisonment so he will make all the tricks to avoid going to prison but rk knows the source of his bravery if its not a good source he will be punished heavily by the true lawyer coz everything is being recorded in heaven it is possible to say father God forgive me and save me by reciting all his wrongs on the other hand if it’s a good source of braverly thank God and pray he protects him from any trap am sure his heart knows the truth about everything which requires no evidence at all u can money material wealth and fame but lose your soul that’s danger.
Lughano you are a surgeon, am i right? Is Ralph’s condition surgical?
Anyongedwe mbava chitsilu chimene Chija bolanso chingofa
Ralph aise! Be a man and face your demons! Look at your friend Lutepo, he tried the same trick koma anamukwidzungabe!
Vomera machimo ako!
Lughano mwana wakwithu, wa seventh day, msilikali withu.Chinyengo sichabwino mwana iwe leka. Musiye Ralph afere zake uyo. Iwe ukulemba report ngati ndani? In what capacity? Lughano! Lughano! ndi u specialist wako wa fake wo, wopangira pa CoM. Ka college ka fake kamene tsogolo lake silikudziwika
Crime is a crime. The Law of the land should treat us equally. For decades, there has been a partial system of Justice in Malawi where by only ordinary people have been facing the law, whilst the optimates have been flying above like Eagles, yet they are the ones who have been committing serious crimes.
People, I sympathise with the Kasambara family at this tough moment. Kasambara is in dire pain. If one is able to malinger to an extent of having fever, low blood pressure and needing oxygen, then Kasamabara must be a genius deserving an automatic entry into the guiness book of records. Let him recover and then justice can take its course, lest the whole setting by Judge Mtambo is viewed as a personal vendetta at Kasambara.

Kodi chifukwa chani andale amadwala ikakhala nkhani ya milandu? Remember Yusuf Mwawa? Bakili Muluzu? Ralph Kasbara? Very sick mpakana kufuna kufa, koma milandu ikatha matendanso amalira penepapa. Joyce naye akabwera straight ku Mwaiwathu bp
Kasambala ndi Machine a mphepo, anthu amadusa milandu yakupha nde mulandu wa suspect of trying to kill some one and that some one is well and in good health. Mwachepa nazo izi a Marry Inu simungamuthe Ralph. Machine amenewo. Pitani Ku Mpumulo wa Bata mkamufunse Bingu Wa Muntharika zakasambala.
Dr.Kalongolera can’t be used for mediocre agenda. He is a respected specialist, a longtime family doctor to Kasambara and most VIP’s. So the issue of trying to keep Kasambara for more days falls out. Ralph is in pain, his crookedness aside. Lets all pray for him, that when he gets better he will stand trial.
ameneyo nde bwana mkubwa kasambala…anthu akulu akulu samamangana and muzakhumudwa akupangidwa aquit….ngati akumatuluka amene amapha nanga ongoganizilidwa kufuna kupha angamangidwe?….boma lingosungilathu ma bilion ozampasa kasambalayo ngati chipepeso pomuonongera zina…..wach out for part ina kkkkk
Mmmmmmmm. Kuchenjera konse balala bwana kasambala
After kasambala mupangeso ya 92 billion apo bii then kaboma aka ndikakubaso.
zoonekeratu mkulu akunama uwu.tamvana zimenezo eti?
The learned judge is being cautious; maybe too cautious.
Go by the specialist’s evaluation, baasi. In any case, every evaluation for cardio conditions carries a risk, inasmuch as the evaluation establishes current condition only. What happens tomorrow, or next week, is subject to change; maybe unforeseen change.
No more delays for Kasambara’s case.
Mai Mary Kachale mulungu azikutetezani. Ndinu munthu oopa mulungu gwilani ntchito yanu mopanda mantha.
If Atcheya’s trial could not proceed on medical grounds, why should Ralphs? Are you people forgetting the way Muluzi’s lawyers used the same system to make sure that the embezzlement case was dead and buried?
Hahaha trying to fake sickness to increase number of good days in hospital! So hospital is better now than prison koma yaaaa!!!
Ndiponso anamwali apumeko eeeh RK!
Akunena zoona ndi mnzunguyi
agalu inu, munthu wa mlandu ndi boma amapita ku queens kapena police training school clinic. mukupangazi ndi zopusa mwamva. kodi msonkho wanga uzingodyedwabe? kodi ameneyu amakunzunzani chifukwa?
i hope i’m not paying for this treatment with my tax. nanga migwanya yomulondelayo akulipila ndi ndani? i said it koyambilila konkuja kuti mupange hire ma judge ndi ma prosecutor aku england. abakha ophunzila law ku chanco sangazikwanitse zimenezi. amuna john tembo anakusadabuzani chifukwa defence team yawo inali yaku england. i miss kamuzu
For your own information, the honourable judge was not a good lawyer during his private practice. He lost 70% of his cases. Do you think he can properly judge others? Definitely not.
I urge justice mtambo to be ethical when presiding the kasambara case. The court must always be moved for it to act. What special interest did mtambo have for him to ask the DPP, to conduct research on whether the court can move a motion to revoke an accused persons bail. My psychology tells me that mtambo has some grudges against kasambara. These people were both private practicing lawyers at one point in time. The grudges might have emanated from there. As a court, mtambo is supposed to impartial at all costs.
Nchifukwa chiani a Malawi timasangalala nzathu akakhala pa mavuto? You are Witches.
this now out of hand. why demanding acomprehensive medical report when you already have one from a well trained medical doctor LUGHANO KALONGOLERA????? NO POLITICS PLEASE. ETHICALLY ADVENTIST HOSPITAL HAS NO RIGHT TO PUBLICISE MEDICAL CONDITION OF THEIR CLIENTS AS DEMANDED BY THE COURTS.. IT SEEMS JUDGE MTAMBO HAS SOME PERSONAL GRUDGES WITH MR KASAMBALA SO IS THE DPP …. WE ARE WAITING
Kasambara is trying to make delays for joice banda to come this month while joice banda is delaying to come before kasambara is sentenced. On of these things is delaying for the other. Makhuluku apezana.
Oh oh! Family Doctor tsopano, wapanga join the defense team ya bwana KS. Kkkkkk
Late bingu once said he is a crooook but we did not listen but today wakumana nazo
Kaya ife bola tikatenga khasu lathu wakumunda.
MTAMBO ORDER THE ARREST OF THE FAMILY DOCTOR !!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW CAN HE ISSUE A MEDICAL REPORT FOR A PATIENT WHO WAS NOT AT HOME BUT UNDER HOSPITAL CARE ?????????????????
Limenelo ndiye dzikolo. Loo?
wonama uyooo akuopa ndende iyaa amangidwe basi
I am happy enjoying the this movie with Kasambla as main actor. Oh yes main actors (Rk & JB) do not die at all. Kwiya kwaiya mugwireni RK.
KASAMBARA AWONE KUTI ANTHU WODWALA MUZIPATALA AKUVUTIKA BWANJI CHIFUKWA CHA CASHGATE YAWOYI ANTHU WOPANDA CHISONI ADYERA NDI NDALAMA ZAKUBA OSABWEZA KUTI ANTHU AGULIRE MANKHWALA MU ZIPATALA NDALAMA NDI SATANADI EH!
Inawulukitsa mbalameyi abale! Iiiiii
Mukuchedwa naye why osakangmuponya ku maula kapena malo atha?
Just as private operators can be subpoenaed to provide personal private call logs for purposes of establishing justice in a court of law so are private hospitals. Let the private hospital honor the judge’s order.
Kasambara ndiye ameneyo
Mukapusa naye Kasambala mudzampatsa ndalama zambiri in the name of compensation. Ndiye ndi maboma anu olira ndi kalewa kaya. Musadzati sindinanene.
Apa ndiye zikuchita kuwonekeratu kuti for Ralph, some doors in his life are now closing!!!!
I can agree with the judge and DPP concerns because the only time our learned lawyer seems to suffer from BP is when he is told to go to remand!! Its obvious that its a ploy.
Oho
Kayuni kalyalyca kawila mlomo
This is Ralph the mafia wamulipira Theu to avoid jail time sizikanatheka ndi mzunguyo ameneyu atuluke 3 days he is fit ndipo sakudwala angonamizira .Job well done Mary kachale nayeni ameneyu he thinks he is above the law
That’s out of order Mr Mtambo. I am not Kasambras fun but its ethically wrong if that word is correct. You cannot demand that and the doctors cannot disclose patients information. Now l am beginning to believe that there is more to this. Please stop dancing to the tune from the top and just so the just job.
this guy is a snake
A Kasambara mwayambanso kuchedwetsa mlandu ndi makalata opanda pake. Wakuba iwe osangoweruzidwa zithe bwanji ?
ADVENTIST HOSPITAL, PLEASE BE PROFESSIONAL IN YOUR CONDUCT. AVOID BEING USED BY KASAMBALA. AS FOR DR KALONGOLERA, YOU WILL RUIN YOUR CAREER IF YOU DECIDE TO CONNIVE WITH KASAMBALA. OBJEVCTIVITY SHOULD BE THE WAY TO GO. THIS GUY CALLED KASAMBALA IS A CROOK!!!
Medical ethics at risk Kalongera. Why risk your career and reputation by issuing bogus medical affidavit just because of money?
Should Kasambara’s doctor be charged with perverting the course of justice by the court or be declared to have contravened rules and regulations of the medical council then? Layman wondering.
Kasambara is cheating. Kalongera is a liar also. Adventist doctor is the one talking the truth. Don’t flee him. Please.
Inu acourt mutengere zimene Dr wachizunguyu wa Ku Holland. Azungu sakonda kunama kawirikawiri koma kutengera pa umunthu wanthu mudikireni 3 weeks yo ngati ndiyambiri. Watopa kumangogooma pa bed kuchipatala, mmmm! Nthiti zawawatu. Kozekani mukayakhe mulandu ndipo muzichepetse kotheratu Pano, siyana ma face book ndikutukumuka. Mudziweni Mulungu weniweni osati Bushire. Ndipo sanabwere kudzakuonani ngati mmene anapangira Yesu ndi Lazaro. Profeti mumagorayo analibe nawe nthawi imene umadwala iwe. Koma Mulungu analinawe full time day & night ndipo akadalibe nawe ndipo adzakhala nawe mpaka muyaya.
Uku ndiye kuvutikatu abale akasambala akunjoyanso ngati, zamanyazi ndithu
Integrity is a problem for many “apparently” professional Malawians!! I am a Malawian too and I know what I am talking about!!
Kasambara the man of tricks …i like dis man for sure
The hour has come. “Cowards die many times before their death, the valiant never taste of death but one”
Who is who in politics? What are the benefits of politics? Where did it originate from? Who will become the champion of politics? I see nobody and I will still say no one will walk away free after active politics even Nelson Mandela had faced the worst attacks during his active politics. Indeed this is a dirty game.
Kkkkkkkk Ada kasambara wazigwilatu ase
Kasambara makani onse balala pano busy kuthawa kundende koma ulowaba Judge Mtambo siwamasewera. More fire Judge “sadyeka anadyeka ndi nyanga zomwe”.
kasambara ndi oyiwerenga
crooks will be crooks! go on Mtambo, shooo shooo!
has he got a Police officer guarding him in hospital? is he handcuffed as you usually do with suspects who have no name or money? I’m asking this because I feel Malawi justice system is not fair to poor Malawians. everyone will agree with me when you go to QECH prisoners are handcuffed to the bed to the extent of defecating on the bed.
And why is it that we never find a Mzungu or Indian in our prisons? are they crime free?
The state is dealing with a MAFIOSO boss in Malawi. He always find his way somehow, i envy this crook!
Why this government of DPP is still want kasambala to be in prison while they like this mama to enjoy freedom of people malawians why does the government arrests her because she kills alot of malawians by eating that money for cash gate I mean this Joyce Banda.live kasambala alone arrest mama joy you DPP government.
Kolongolela wadzapo cashgate apatu. Nanga mpaka 21 days observation? Even Nkazi ochila ndi SIZA amakhala 7 days observation basi. KKKKKKKKKKKKKK Wagwa nawo.
If doctor kali being a man of God chiwalo cheni*2 cha seven chikunama nanga ndani adzanene chilungamo koma ndalama a doctor wa agwetsedwe bask atichititsa manyazi
Mphwiyo kodi sakalowa?
wednesday ndi mawa
there are some pple like kasambala, jb, odilo, lutepo amene ndi ziphwinjo ku dziko lino ,mwina malawi akanakhala bwino akanapanda kubadwa kkkk
Kaya zanu izo muzifinyana pakhosi choncho
Zinyengo zimenezo
Ndizimenezo bwana,zimakubwerera pa mawa,tiyeni tonse tigwire ntchito mozindikirira kuti position iyi siyamuyaya.
I am follow this case each and every day, please update the nation every move.
Ine Kudabwa.. Pika witness Joyce Banda… Kasambara witness Joyce Banda…. she has been mentioned in almost all the cases but I have not seen any commitment from the state to bring this witness in Court…..
Am not backing Kasambara or any of the cashgaters but I see something wrong for us to know the truth….
If she was brought and we hear her side all these cases would have been closed by now.
The state knows something…..
Time is running out …. we want the truth… PERIOD.
The problem now is if Kasambara uses his doctors they will say he is not fine and when the state uses its doctors to examine Kasambara they will say he is fine…..
Kaya weluzani bwino mlandawu pamawa ndife kuzaweluzidwa…
Both parties,, play your cards well… know the time to throw a Joker or a Pick 2 then reverse and Jump..
ha ha ha Ralph wakaona ka student kako ka Mary kukukhaulitsa utambwali wonse balala. Mary you are now becoming a top graft fighter in the country big up woman. Be strong we are right behind you all the way. Get the aunthenticity of the documents submitted by Theu and the family doctor examined as to how he can issue a COF for a patient not in his care. is this standard health practice? When did he go the hospital to examine a da Ralph, who was the resident doctor that was in his company etc. if not then Theu and his fake doctor should be immediately charged for perjury.
Kapaneni ka Sambala ka.
He is faking that illness inorder to run away from the custody. How many sick suspects do we have in the prisons and why should he get special treat ment while thousands are languishing withother ailments in custody.
what has gotten into my former classmate Lughano Kalongolera to get himself involved in this stupidity? I hope his hands are clean
And the plot thickens
