Malawi police release Mukhito without charge in cement saga probe
Fiscal and Fraud Section of police on Tuesday released former Chief of Staff of State Residences, Peter Mukhito, after questioning without any charge and he did not sleep in the cooler.
Mukhitho—who also served as Inspector General of police during the late Bingu wa Mutharika regime— was under arrest as officers questioned him in connection with the importation of cement worth billions of kwacha using former president Peter Mutharika’s Taxpayer Identification Number (TPIN).
But police left him go home.
Nyasa Times understands that Mukhito could be used as a prosecution witness.
National Police spokesperson James Kadadzera confirmed Mukhito release but could not divulge more information to avoid complicating ongoing investigations.
State witnes koma zakuno ku malawi
Everyone knows this guy as a real looter. He appended his signature on the cement saga and you let him free. Selective justice at its best. You are locking in Cash Madam for overprising a t-shirt and you are giving a ministerial post to Gaffar as a reward who over priced those 2 buses. Kodi kulodzedwa kwake kwa mtundu waji inu a Chilima ndi a Chakwera?
He will be a state witness!
Former police boss steals cement and the police let him go free with lame excuse that he is an informant? Is the police not just protecting one of its own? If that’s how you will fight corruption then I expect corruption to win again. Police and acb are not serious
Why leave this big thug. He’s one of the biggest crooks who have siphoned billions. And it’s as obvious as black n white. Lifestyle Audit him. Dont leave these dpp thugs n murderers. Amagidwe mbava zonse. Freeze his accounts.
Guys muzimva chizungu mukhito will be prosecution witness meaning Ali mbali ya apolisi ndekuti wavomera kuti aulula who instructed him kupanga zachinyengo ndipo akhala mboni ya apolisi. Osamangopanga comment
Prosecution witness hw come
He will mislead the whole process.
Muwona mugwa nazo izi.
What exactly is going on. Tikukuwonani
Mukhitho will be witness because he got instructions from Chisale who claimed the president wanted to import cement
Koma a Mukhito awa alibe miseche amanena zimachitika
Looks like government will pay heavily for these arbitrary arrests.
Do you understand what a state witness is ? It means that Mukhito has spilled the beans ( beans zake za kalongonda ) on who was giving him the instructions to authorise the various criminal transactions by using APM’s TPIN.
Uchira Cadet
arbitrary arrests???? Even APM is shocked that people used his name to import cements, documents are there for everyone to see.
The fine soldier…..
He arranged Pre-order bail
What is this nonsense from police? Poor, poor police that’s what they are. So good at announcing arrests and pocketing allowance for being on duty of arresting people, you have no case against them. Reform please
Pepani koma muchira kkkkk
