BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-The country’s graft bursting body Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) has said it is only waiting for the High Court in Blantyre to finish reviewing the decision by the Magistrate Court in Zomba to release in the dead of the night the Chief Executive Officer for FDH Financial Holdings Limited, Dr. Thomson Mpinganjira, from the police custody.
According to the ACB Director General, Reyneck Matemba, the Blantyre High Court called for the order of cancellation of warrant of arrest file from Zomba Magistrate Court but it has not yet finished to punch legal holes in the same.
“What I can confirm is that right now we are just waiting for the High Court Judge in Blantyre to look at the file from Zomba Magistrate Court. After that we will be in a better position to know what right course of action to take. At least by Monday or Tuesday, the Court should be able to finish reviewing the file. But I am sure that this will go line with us,” said Matemba.
On Wednesday this week, the graft busting body arrested Dr. Mpinganjira in Blantyre on allegation that he is one of the individuals who attempted to bribe the five judges who have been hearing the presidential election case in Lilongwe.
However, around midnight of the same day, he was released from the police custody following the order of cancellation of his arrest.
And this development sparked a great public debate, with some legal minds calling it erroneous and unlawful.
