Kalindo to answer president insult charge – State
Chief resident magistrate (CRM) Mzondi Mvula in Zomba who discontinued hearing UTM director of youth Bon Kalindo’s case of insulting the President contrary to Section 4 of the Protected Flags, Emblems and Names Act now wants the legislator to answer the charge after the prosecution said they will be interested to continue with the case.
State resolved to discontinue with the case and continue with the one on disorderly conduct at Balaka Police Station contrary to Section 153 (1) of the Police Act which led to court to discontinue the insult case.
However, the prosecution wants to reinstate the presidential insult case.
Kalindo, a Mulanje South legislator, was arrested on January 10 and granted court bail on January 14 as he was charged with the two cited cases allegedly committed on January 6 this year.
He pleaded not guilty.
The MCP government was wrong to detain all those that insulted Kamuzu by defacing his portrait or burning his cloth? MCP is vindicated here?
Is this corrupt magistrate still working? It seems he has a personal vendetta against kalindo. Why include a case that was dropped? Justice will also find you magistrate. God has his ways.
What about yakupha ma albino?
All because of Chimulirenji’s nuisance which has rattled the DPP. Go ahead and try the case, if guilty he will pay the useless fine.
THE CASE WILL BE REFERRED TO THE CONSTITUTIONAL COURT TO EXAMINE VALIDITY OF THIS SECTION 4 AND IT WILL BE DECLARED UNCONSTITUTIONAL .END OF STORY.
Whatever the case against Kalindo, freedom of speech is more important than insulting the President. Many of the comments on this website involve insults of the President. So what? Long live freedom of speech!
Yes, the case must be taken to its conclusion so that lessons can be learnt whether insulting the president should be allowed in this country.
True, because the learned judge needs to tell Malawians what constituents “insulting the president”. The whole thing is shambolic, right? Mutharika mutu siukugwira, how is that an insult? We wil get to the Supreme Court on this one
Umbuli nanunsoa Pitala! Zachitsamunda basi?
Just like Mutharika has a case of treason which was discontinued after he became the president. This man must explain how he smuggled the body of his dead brother to South Africa in the name of Daniel Phiri
Waste of tax payers money
Why? Because he is a UTM member koma akanakhala wa Dpp mukananyadira hahaha
This is political staccato
patrick phiri mutu wako suyenda anthu tikufuna nkhani yeniyeni zama abino kuti anthu asatana amene akuchita zimenezi tiwadziwe ndipo malamulo agwire ntchito pa iwo osati zonyoza mukukamba apazi ayi we need real issues to be concluded not this nonsense.
deserves life imprisonment, how can he insult the DPP president
