Leader of the Opposition in Parliament Kondwani Nankhumwa is appealing to President Lazarus Chakwera to use his clemency power to pardon convicted hemp possessor, Mussa John and former DPP Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) commissioner Linda Kunje.
In a leaked letter dated 27th September, 2022, Nankhumwa pleads with Chakwera that John is a young man who looks after his old mother and a sister with disabilities.
Linda Kunje jailed
He says as teenager he may not have full knowledge of the consequences of his actions.
Nankhumwa has also said that some people have been charged and convicted of similar offences but have just walked away with fines and this has angered the society.
On Linda Kunje, Nankhumwa has also asked president Chakwera that as a man of God who understands humanity at a level beyond the ordinary he must “let her go”.
For mussa definitely he deserves to be pardoned by the president we can agree and it’s our prayer for this to happen but not with the lady. I do remember the time they were questioned as commissioners by parliament ankayankha modelera and mokula mtima with no respect which shows that what she did zinali zadala she wanted to test water in the river so let’s her face the depth Of the river.

That is the benefit of… Read more »

This is madness Nankhumwa, Chakwera is not prosecutor nor judge, his power doesn’t give him power to over power powers! This was happening under DPP because DPP was everything in this country, it was not respecting other powers! The young man is used by you foolish stupid politicians who only get rich from the shoulders of the poor., Let the boy learn from his mistakes. I wish if you would ask for the boy to go bac6to school.
