Africa-Press – Malawi. Stanford Mpoola a witness in the ‘Mphwiyo case’ on Monday, August 29, 2022 told the High Court in Lilongwe that former President Joyce Banda and Brown Mpinganjira benefited from cashgate proceeds.
The case is being heard by Judge Ruth Chinangwa where Mpoola is the last witness in the case. Mpoola told the court that by order from Mphwiyo he was sent to deliver MK20 million to Mpinganjira and MK80 million was given Oswald Lutepo.
He also says that Mphwiyo told him that the money was meant to fund a political campaign under the order of the former head of state. Both JB and Mpinganjira are yet to defend themselves on the matter.
Meanwhile the State has asked the court to revoke the bail of Steve Phiri one of accused persons after he sent a message at lunch break to mpoola asking ‘why’ mpoola is implicating people in cashgate trial. Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) Steven Kayuni therefore prayed for the action as a consequence of witness tampering or interference.
