The High Court in Lilongwe has convicted  Democratic Progressive Party (DPP)  vice-president (centre) Uladi Mussa and  former Regional Immigration Officer, David Kwanjana for awarding Malawian passports to foreigners.

Uladi Mussa: Convicted
Judge Chifundo Kachale has since reserved the sentencing in the case to next week.
Mussa, has been found guilty to have authorised the issuing of passports to non-Malawians when he served as Minister of Home Affairs. In October last year the High Court found Mussa and four others with a case to answer.

The case also earned Mussa, a former cabinet minister under four successive regimes, travel bans to the US.

The court has also aquitted two foreign nationals – Pascal Rwasa and Esili Kubwimana – who were being accused of benefitting from the process.

Rwasa, a Burundi national, was arrested on March 9 2017, for presenting false information that he was related to another foreign national, who was applying for Malawi citizenship by presenting the person as his dependent when the person was over 18 years old and not related to him.

While Kubwimana, a Rwandese national was arrested for giving false information to Immigration Officers when making applications for business resident permit and Malawi citizenship contrary to Section 122 as read with Section 360 of Penal Code.

Mussa and Kwanjana were charged with neglect of official duty contrary to Section 121 of the Penal Code and abuse of public office contrary to section 25B(1) of the Corrupt Practices Act.

  3. You had a chance of improving as the minister of home affairs, you did not. See the conclusion

  4. He needs capital punishment. Life in prison at least. He betrayed every Malawian citizen in his act as he was entrusted to uphold the integrity of the public office he swore to protect.

  5. Where are the technocrats. As minister he must have received processed files for his signature. Files originate from immigration to the ministers office.

    1. Most of the time sone of these politicians work in the reverse order and I am sure this might have been the case with this polygamist, for which reason he must just be fined or else many souls will languish.

  7. They must be fined MK50million each so that other people must learn frm them.. attach their property for state sale auction.

  8. Why arrest the Malawians only and let the foreigners go scot free? This is selective justice. Everyone involved must face the full wrath of the law, whether ndi nzika kapena wobwela. Justice for one must be justice for all.

    1. Zomvetsa chisoni Kuti dziko lathu lidayamba kugulitsidwa nthawi ya purezidenti yemwe amatchedwa Kuti adali wa pangozi kankhani galasi ili, Ellison Bakili Burutu Muluzi, mbuzi yachabechabe, makampani kungopatsa anzake amwenye, son of a whore.

  9. a good start for the rot under DPP. Our politicians can only understand the legal language once they are out of power. Keep it up Malawian judiciary

    1. Get the fact correct, he committed the offence when he was minister under Joyce Banda and he started being tried under APM

        1. Ukuwona ngati tasowa zochita? Chisoni ndi chinthu chokhacho tatsala nacho ndipo sitingachipeleke kwa anthu ngati awa.

        2. You seem not to understand the crime he committed right? He sold your Country to the foreigners, do you understand? Useless!
