Mpinganjira withdraws plea bargain
Business mogul Thomson Mpinganjira has withdrawn his plea bargain in a case he is accused of trying to bribe judges during the presidential elections case.
Mpinganjira’s lawyer, Patrice Nkhono confirmed that he has received instructions to withdraw the plea bargain application.
Nkhono said the case which the graft busting body, the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) presented to the court is different from what it is prosecuting.
He said the charges against Mpinganjira are not speaking to the evidence presented in court hence no need for a plea bargain.
But ACB director general Reyneck Matemba said it is not surprising that Mpinganjira has applied to withdraw the plea bargain.
He said ACB has always been against the plea bargain.
Nkhono applied to the court to enter into a plea bargain to ‘save time and resources’ and presiding High Court judge Dorothy Degabrielle accepted the request for plea bargain.
Plea bargain is an arrangement between prosecutor and defendant whereby the defendant pleads guilty to a lesser charge in exchange for a more lenient sentence or an arrangement to drop other charges in which a defendant agrees to plead guilty to a lesser charge instead of not guilty to a greater charge.

Alone the fact that Mpinganjira have opted for plea bargain, should be seen as a confession from his side to be involved in this shady deal!
Komanso nawo awa nanga ma judge five mungawapange corrupt ndi 100 mita. Kupusa Basi. Reputation destroyed!!! You associate with the devil, he destroys you.
Just counting days for acquittal.
Some are too free, some have to much liberty…
Honestly it would have been an insult to convict such a reputable Malawian with such flimsy charges.I even got so depressed to see concourt judges going overboard to implicate an innocent person just to justify their results nullification of election.Listening to their evidence it was all hearsays! Polani moto ma Judge you can do better than this!
That’s not a simple case
Why did he apply for plea? He is guilty, i can smell something fishy here. Or else things will turn the other way round.

This guy will be acquitted.
Unsubstantial evidence.
Where was the parcel?
What was the parcel?
Nkhani iyiyi palibepo
So why did he applied for plea bargain?
Takumvani a judge
Bakwatanani ndi singanoyo! 😂😂😂😂😂
are you a judge?
nkhani ndi yakuti amafuna kupereka chiphuphu and the judges refused. So the parcel was not delivered ili ndi iyeyo.
Yes we can sympathise with him, koma God will judge him
Nkhani is not giving parcel. Nkhani is attempting to bribe judges. That’s the case. Noone said he bribed a judge. If the judges had received the parcel the world cud have been saying a different story that’s why they didn’t go as far as accepting first.
