Court action forces state to fail confiscate corruption convict Lutepo property
The State says it cannot confiscate the property of corruption convict Oswald Lutepo because of a court action.
Ministry of Justice spokesperson Pilirani Masanjala said the state managed to seize Lutepo’s residence and office premises before the convict slapped the state with the court action to stop the seizure.
A court four years ago convicted Lutepo of fraud and money laundering of government money amounting to K4.2 billion.
“We are just waiting for the disposal of the court action to continue with the seizure of his property as ordered by the court,” said Masanjala.
Lutepo was sentenced to 11 years imprisonment with hard labour on his offences.
He came to limelight when he donated 22 vehicles to People’s Party after Joyce Banda ascended to presidency following the sudden death of Bingu wa Mutharika in 2012.

The government of Malawi is wasting lots of billions of caresness , selfishness and greedy.

This photo should remind all of us Malawians of the need for deliverance from our selves and our ways, we need a total overhaul of ourvalues from the least in the village to the top in capital hill.Civil society, church, NGO, families, journalists through NICE must come up with strategic civil education to address the mess in our daily values or we will be trapped in this endless cycle for too long. See Romans 7 vers 7-25.
Are the 22 vehicles that this thief gave to the baroness Abhiti Kazhigeti Joyce Ntila still on the roads. Please also check his bank accounts and those of Abhiti Kazhigeti. They have lots of cashgate loot.
I am not quite impressed with the way ACB is handling corruption cases. Bakili Muluzi and Mphwiyo are still enjoying their normal lives while others are suffering in jails. Why are the wheels of justice slow on these two thieves?
The lawyer who obtained the restraining order should be shot in the leg and be exiled.

Izi ndiye zopusa mukusiya katangale walero mukulimbana ndi lutepo he accepted that his accounts were used to launder money. The question and answers we need are for who benefited don’t give us an impression that Lutepo benefited alone . He is playing the sacrificial lamb when the real thieves are basking in glory . And you the writer learn not to mislead the public. Lutepo surrendered the properties himself voluntarily in what we call restitution. The state did not seize the properties. Malawian journalists learn to write unbiasly but balanced . The case was not even about corruption. It was… Read more »
