Former Ministry of Finance Paul Mphwiyo on Wednesday returned to the
dock at Lilongwe High Court in a case which lawyer Ralph Kasambara,
Pika Manondo, Robert Kadzuwa and Macdonald Kumwembe are charged with
attempted murder case and conspiracy to commit murder.
The suspects pleaded guilty to charges.
As the hearing resumed after a long break marred with judiciary
strike, Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) Mary Kachale sought for
an adjournment after realising that the fifth accused person Osward
Lutepo was not in the court.
The defence team comprised of Wapona Kita, John Gift Mwakhwawa and
Kasambara himself agreed but Justice Michael Ntambo opted to continue
with the case.
Ntambo said so many adjournments are just dragging the conclusion of
the case saying he want it concluded by May.
Before wrapping his cross examination, Kasambara quized Mphwiyo how he
know Lutepo and if they used to call each other on the phone.
Mphwiyo responded by saying he knew Lutepo through Naming'omba Tea
Estate and that they used to call each other.
After Kasambara, Mphwiyo now faces Mwakhwawa in cross examination.
