Africa-Press – Malawi. Former Malawi President Peter Mutharika’s personal security aid Norman Chisale has sworn not to forgive former Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Steve Kayuni for his suffering due to the preservation order and the freezing of his bank accounts.
Chisale told Zodiak Broadcasting Station (ZBS) Special Interview program on Monday night, November 6, 2023, that despite Kayuni’s several phone calls to apologize on the matter, Chisale will not forgive me. He further claimed that Kayuni had tried to apologize to him through a Malawi Congress Party (MCP) official.
Chisale, who described himself as a believer and clutched a red Bible in his hand throughout the interview, alleged he is being tortured for political reasons.

Chisale took potshots at Kayuni for causing his suffering. “I am suffering, my family and children are suffering because of Kayuni. When I was on remand, I wrote his office asking for MK5 million for my child’s school fees, but he refused. I will never forgive Kayuni. God should deal with him,” said a visibly angry Chisale.
In the program that ZBS anchor Leah Malekano hosted, Chisale vowed that those who are behind his torture will pay one day which he did not elaborate. Kayuni was unavailable for comment at the time we went to press.
In early 2021, the DPP, alongside other agencies such as the Assets Forfeiture Unit, the Financial Intelligence Authority (FIA), the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB), and the Malawi Police Services Fiscal and Fraud Department obtained, from the High Court, a seizure order for Chisale’s property worth MK5 billion.
However, Chisale’s lawyers have on several occasions applied to the court to either unfreeze his bank account or get a waiver to access cash, but he has been unsuccessful.
The latest attempt was when Chisale went to the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) where he applied for an order to vary the preservation order to enable him access to MK50 million to clear legal bills incurred.
However, SCA judge Charles Mkandawire threw out the application. This is the second media attempt Chisale has made to fight for his financial freedom after he engaged Sunday Times over the weekend on the same.
