Court rebuffs Mutharika’s lawyer Mbeta over documents
The Constitutional Court on Wednesday rejected lawyer Frank Mbeta for Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) presidential candidate in the disputed May 21 elections, Peter Mutharika from introducing documents in court by way of notice and directed him not to cross-examine Richard Chapweteka, a witness for the second petitioner Lazarus Chakwera of Malawi Congress Party (MCP).
Mbeta, representing Mutharika as the first respondent, wanted to use a Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) checklist of electoral materials in cross-examination.
But judge Ivy Kamanga on behalf of the five-judge panel advised Mbeta to make a formal application to use the document, saying it had made a direction of September 25 that documents would be accepted in the case by way of application and not through notices.
Chapweteka, who monitored MEC’s printing of the ballot papers in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, has since finished being cross-examined and re-examnied but would be recalled for cross-examination if the court accept the checklist to be used.
Mbeta said the dcocument was the last for their cross-examination
“We have already filled an application and it will be heard on Friday. All we want is a document which is called a packing list. When the printer from Dubai was shipping the electoral materials, they also included a packing list,” Mbeta told Times in an interview.
“So, it it that list that the parties and the electoral commission were using to cross-check the accuracy of contents of what was shipped so we want it to cross-examine witnesses.”
In the court, lawyer representing Chakwera, Modecai Msisha SC, accused MEC of appearing to discuss a lot of issues with the first respondent’s lawyers, saying the electoral body was supposed to be independent and not only be seen to favourable to Mutharika’s lawyers.
The court has since adjourned proceeding to Friday, where Msisha will also make application to have some changes in the sworn statements of two of their witnesses, Peter Lackson and Anthony Bendulo on Friday which will be heard alongside Mbeta’s application to introduce the checklist.
Chakwera and UTM presidential hopeful Saulos Chilima are seeking nullification of the presidential election results in the May 21 2019 Tripartite Elections over alleged irregularities and fraud. The two are also seeking a court’s order for a rerun.

APM nayenso, Lawyer akhale MBETA kkkkkkkkk

Checklist imakhala yowona koma forging to produce fake documents happened in Blantyre or lilongwe by DPP.
Its doesn’t matter. The fact is we could see Tpx being used, fake papers were noticed, changing and twisting of figures unauthorized personnel dispersing money on pooling centers influencing or encouraging CORRUPTION in order elevate or usher munthalika to power. Irregularities , noncompliance Non conformance zowonekeratu kuti zidalakwika
Rerun must be taken place , justice will prevail we need to have that trust back to our justice system. DPP yaysmba kugula zinthu za campaign kuja tawona adziwa kale kuti kuli rerun..
THIS NONSENSE MUST BE STOPPED
We knew it that our fellow cadet Mbeta who is only good at making deals with judges would make APM look a stupid dad in this case. Now it’s happening and will only get worse.
APM hired his two crooked lawyers who are also cadets to help him win through making deals with the five judges. We hear from inside DPP that the scheme is not working and there is total panic to the extent of setting plan B in motion.
Plan B is to terrify the lawyers of the petitioners through violence so much so that one by one withdraw from the case for reasons of security! APM is a grandmaster in violence and corruption in Malawi no for presidency. I a cadet says so. Time has come to stand for the country and not this dirty DPP party

I doubt ngati a nyasatimes akuziwapo nkanthu.
Mbeta his famous was not about knowing the Law or being genius but through Judge Shopping .
The money from Indians helped Mbeta to stage himself as good lawyer while in actual sense he is far from being the best like Modecai Msiska SC.
So Mordecai Msiska has no match in both Muntharika’s Lawyers camp and MEC’s Lawyers camp, even this so called Kaphale knows that he can not match Mordecai Msiska as he is on his own level of standard.
Bring your so called professor of law Muntharika to help u if indeed he is better at law. Mordecai will twist u guys left and right.
Search me, to discover more.
