Court subpoena Mpinganjira to testify in Mphwiyo shooting case
High court judge Michael Ntambo has summoned evangelist-cum-politician Brown Mpinganjira to testify in a case which Macdonald Kumwembe together with lawyer Ralph Kasambala and businessman Pika Manondo are answering attempted murder and conspiracy to commit murder on Mphwiyo.
This follows some witnesses mentioning Mpinganjira’s name in court.
It all started when Mphwiyo in his tesmony said he was receiving pressure from ministers and politicians to authorize payments but refused.
He said at some time, then Peoples Party (PP) Publicity Secretary Hophmally Makande instructed Mpinganjira to give Mphwiyo an ultimatum of 10 days to either authorize a payment or will face some unknown actions.
During his testimony on Monday Makande denied issuing or directing Mpinganjira to warn Mphwiyo saying during that time, he was too junior on party rank.
Mpinganjira was appointed PP Vice President for the Southern Region.
However, on Tuesday morning Judge Ntambo wondered why Mpinganjira was not being listed as a witness.
Director of Public Prosecution Mary Kachale told the court that if the judge sees it fit to do so then he can be subpoenaed as a witness at the end of the hearing.
The Judge then announced that he has subpoenaed Mpinganjira to testify on January 15.
The case has been adjourned to January 12.
Bravo Mary, doing a good job indeed
Not sure where Mary is taking this case. We forget that some of the convictions this paper have erroneously attributed to her are about mr Nyasulu. Any way let us see where this particular case actually goes
Bravo Mary Kachale our DPP, very courageous woman indeed. Keep it up!
Even
Just watch! After Mpinganjira, JB will come to testify. Sikuti Attorney General sakuiwerenga game ayi. Mkatikatimu tiwona zambiri. It will be payback time. JB adziwanso kuti the midnight 6 ndi akatakwe npatali.
The truth must prevail.
Please please please bring in Joyce Banda and all these cases will be concluded within a month. Adzangofotokoza bwino bwino how she crafted the whole thing. Kuyang’ananso mu computer mwake(poti she is not very good with computers and I don’t think she deleted the info) ma draftwo apezeka. Simple and straight forward!!
WE ARE TIRED TO HEAR ALL THIS CASHGATE CASES JUST JAIL ALL OF THEM LIFE IN PRISONMENT AND CONFISCATE THEIR PROPERTIES AND SOLD THEM AND PUT THAT MONEY IN GOVERNMENT TO START RUNNING ITS OPERATIONS
If he’s summoning on the basis of names mentioned in the court, then he needs to go further and summon the likes of Bruno Kalemba and Bophani. The court needs to unravel both sides of this saga – who shot mphwiyo and why, and what the law enforcers did in the days or weeks after.
Mary Kachale game wachepa nayo, Judge azichita kukuuzani kuti muyitane witness. Iweyo ungopita kwanu uzikanyekulira chifundo.
