LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-Malawi Former Minister of Homeland Security Uladi Mussa and former Immigration Official David Kwanjana were on Thursday, October 22, 2020 each sentenced to five years imprisonment with hard labour for abuse of office.
The duo was also slapped with another 12 months jail term each for neglect of official duties.
The sentences will run concurrently effective October 13, 2020.
In his ruling, High Court Judge Chifundo Kachale says the two have been disqualified from holding any public office for the next seven years.
