Uladi says not even courts have powers to question minister over passport issuance
Former Homeland Security minister Uladi Mussa has told the High Court in Lilongwe that no one, not even the courts have powers to question why and how a minister’s decision to approve or reject an application for citizenship.
Mussa said this on Tuesday as the state continued to accuse him of dubiously granting Malawian passports and citizenships to over 50 foreigners between 2013 and 2014.
“Section 29 of the Citizenship Act protects the minister from saying why and how he arrived at the decision,” he said.
But Kamudoni Nyasulu, a special lawyer hired by the state to prosecute the case, told Mussa and the court that the former presidential aide disregarded all recommendations made to him by the principal secretary.
Nyasulu showed the court some communications between the principal secretary and the former minister which showed the PS had recommended one thing but the former minister acted differently.
This was brought to surface after Mussa said he was only acting on recommendations presented to him by the principal secretary whom he said is conversant with the processes of granting passports and citizenships.

That is why we needed this dumb chilima so that stupid people like this twart uladi should roast in jail
You were supposed to help them for free but you charged them that is why you must be in jail. Usamasimbwizike caz masiku amatha ndi kugona tomorrow is never far away. Tikatenga boma you will be the first to be arrested
How much Mussa pocketed? Here is the sum
(a) 1 passport = $10,000 each charged.
(b) Then 50 passports = (50 x $10,000 ) US Dollar which is = $500,000 US Dollar
(c) $500,000 x Mk750 exchange rate as of today, then in Malawian Kwacha Mussa pocketed = Mk 375,000 000 . More than 3times what Peter pocketed from Zameer Carim of Mk145million.
This guy need to pay back the money to Malawians he abused through this passport gate. No need to waste time with him just open a prison gate.
It is estimated that he gave out about 450 passports
Big up uladi musa though I hate you but you did a very gud job for helpn our beloved brothers and sisters
Fuck you!
Why do we Africans hate ourselves? Why are we wasting resources prosecuting an Ex minister for issuing passports to fellow Africans who were escaping wars that had rocked their countries. We need to get rid of these colonial laws that separates us (Africans) and eliminate this slavish mentality. An African national should never be a foreigner in Africa.
Big-up to Uladi Mussa for disregarding the stupid recommendation by the so called P.S.
Africa is for Africans.
Because it was a corrupt practice….musawonetse umbuli wanu pagulu akulu
U are stupid. Can’t you see he was receiving bribes? Bwanji mumaombera mmanja nfiti?
Paja ma cadet ndichonchi kuwombera manja vilivonse. Dziko lakulakani pano.
So the minister has effectively admitted that he did what he is being accused of, save for the fact that Section 29 protects ministers. I hope he realises that he is no longer minister hence that Section 29 no longer applies to him.
and pitala too in the string
Even if Uladi is found guilty, he knows a Dad will grant him presidential pardon and then reward him with another ministerial appointment. That’s how a ‘mafia’ government works. The more you break the law for the benefit of the ‘mafia’ government, the more promotion you get. Just look at the case of honourable Chaponda after ‘maizegate’!
He is like all our gov’t ministers and presidential advisors. And MEC. And …..etc….etc
The department has powers to cancel all those documents if they were taken illegally, and that is when you can start casing him . if not there is prove of all requirements to be given to those people then leave has no case to answer.
a uladi musawaputepotu ma lawyer athuwa apa
Uladi Musa is very dull. How can he give such an answer? No one is above the law. Just signing anyhow.
under pitala! it wont happen. Grace Chiumia!!!!
I think the court is wasting time with this man so called Dr from a fake university. Why cant they just throw him in Jail?
Koma uyu mu Arab uyu is indeed annoying me day by day. He thinks he is above the law, he want to dictate even in court of law, Malawi is indeed fucked up Country.
With so many problems affecting people in that poor country and still someone has the powers to abuse their hard earned resource.
Throw this Mussa in Jail so that others should learn a lesson. He thinks he is above the law this idiot.
chizipita kundende ichi ,chinagulitsa Malawi
Pathetic thinking. Being a minister does not mean you are above the law. Disgusting people like you putting our country at risk in many ways than I can possibly list them.
Mussa automatically qualifies to be at Maula prison, no question about it. His Lawyer is one of the street Lawyers like Bob Chimkango and Frank Mbeta. They believe in judge shopping and cannot win a case based on factual arguments.
