Judiciary calls for patience over midnight order as High Court reviews

Officials from the Judiciary are calling for patience and calm as a High Court judge is reviewing circumstances which led to a Zomba magistrate court to cancel a warrant of arrest for finance services business tycoon Thomson Mpinganjira.

Registrar of the Malawi Supreme Court of Appeal and the High Court of Malawi Agnes Patemba

The principal magistrate for Zomba, Benedicto Chitsakamile cancelled a warrant of arrest for Mpinganjira on Wednesday midnight, triggering an outcry and questions of bribery in the Judiciary.

This prompted the Judiciary to ask for a court file on the case to review the cancellation which was done illegally.

High Court spokesperson Agnes Patemba said the judge Dorothy Nyakaunda Kamanga was still reviewing the court file.

“We have not heard anything from her office. She is still reviewing the case,” said Patemba.

Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) director general Reyneck Matemba said he is still waiting for the outcome of the review exercise for him to take another court action on the matter.

Next time you arrest Mpinganjira, give him no bail. The man has pawns everywhere. Judges, magistrates, IG of police-mwapasa, ministers and Mutharika.
He is a serious flight risk or can mess with evidence

There’s no justice in Malawi, God please intervene we need you now more than ever 😢

Malawi belong to the citizens.

We the citizens, we are hoping that Dorothy Nyakaunda Kamanga will judge with the guidance of God, Zomba magistrate judge was wrong to stop the arrest of the rich Man. I believe that Mr Thom Mpinganjira will be arrested again to make it twice within a short period of time. We love politics that helps the citizens to prosper osati kumawasaukitsa. Malawi ndi wathu wathu. Remember to keep the peace.

How do you review something that is clearly wrong? A magistrate cannot cancel a warrant issued by another magistrate; only the magistrate who issued the warrant or a high court judge can cancel that warrant. The Zomba cancellation should have been declared null and void immediately. Is the judiciary re-writing the Law?
