Judiciary calls for patience over midnight order as High Court reviews

January 24, 2020 Owen Khamula - Nyasa Times 21 Comments

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.

  2. you guys just shut up matemba akugwila nchito yake nde zisakale ngati kuti akumuonelela mpinganjira amumange kumene , this young man matemba has some brians

  3. 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

  5. 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.

  6. this mpinganjira guy let free to public let alone the public itself lay hands on him & the mob remit its own justice system on him

  8. 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?

  9. Hi malawians. We must open our eyes on this matter something is fishing and don’t let this Evil woman Agnes patemba to drive us left and right.

  11. I fully support ben chitsakamile. And agnes patemba. And dorothy nyakaunda kamanga. Fantastic souls. Dorothy, please keep the file. Take your time. The world is not ending tomorrow.

    1. Hahahahaha the world is not ending tomorrow and they shud take their time. Mwatero eti. Alot is happening behind the scenes. It has always been the case.

  12. For how long amayi inu…..nanunso tikumatchaninso….tikungokusungilani ulemu koma fuse yatsala pang’ono kupsya ndithu……….how many pages are there poti Chitsakamire wachitanso quote molakwikansotu….Nyakaunda wayamba kulandilanso mafoni kuchokera kunja tsopano……….tikukuwonanitu koma Mulungu ndi amene akukuwonani kwambiiri ndipo achita nanu ndithu!

  13. Matemba you are just against Mpinganjira. You have overlooked many serious cases in the past where one has done the actual corruption than this one
    You will finish very bad. You have been bribed by those who are already against Mpinganjira for their own selfish reasons.
    Matemba tell me what have you done to Joyce Banda,Kasambara etc the list goes on
    Wait and see your turn will come. You think we are fools that we don’t know your schemes and your dirty hands. You will one day dance to your own tune

  15. That is why I do not believe in Democracy. I am an anarchist I do not believe in the state and government. Democracy and its institutions are stage managed by the rich.
