BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-In a dramatic turn of events, political figure Ken Msonda has written to his lawyer, Gladwel Majekete, along with his accomplices, Frederick Malata and Fryson Chodzi, demanding that they stop using his name without consent.

Msonda asserts that his reputation should not be tarnished by association.

In an interview with Maravi Post Msonda claims that his previous case with Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) President, Peter Mutharika, came to an end after he publicly apologized and dropped the charges against Mutharika. Therefore, he argues that his name must no longer be utilized in any capacity by his former associates.

“My case I was pursuing against My Father Peter Mutharika is water under the bridge, I even apologized. Those using my name in that case must stop or will seek legal redress,” said Msonda.

The concerned party announced his intentions to seek legal redress if Malaya and Chodzi persist in using his name without authorization.

Furthermore, Msonda expressed his intent to report his lawyer to the Malawi Law Society (MLS) for unauthorized use of his name.

In response to Msonda’s accusations, lawyer Majekete acknowledged that he had been preoccupied and had not yet familiarized himself with Msonda’s recent actions.

Expert law analyst Victor Chipofya lends support to Msonda’s position.

Chipofya concurs that if Msonda formally withdrew the case against President Mutharika, it follows that his name ought not to be invoked without his explicit consent.

Chipofya asserts that Msonda reserves the right to report his lawyer to the Malawi Law Society and seek legal redress regarding this infringement.

It is worth noting that the trio, Msonda, Chodzi, and Malaya, recently approached the court for an interpretation regarding the eligibility of DPP President, Peter Mutharika, to stand as the party’s candidate.

This potentially significant development further underscores the ongoing tensions and complexities in the country’s political landscape.

With Msonda determined to reclaim control over the use of his name, the legal battle that ensues promises to expose the intricacies of this high-profile case.

As the issue unfolds, Malawians eagerly await resolution and clarity on matters concerning their political leaders.
