IMF eventually, cancelled the ECF to prejudice the rights of Malawi Government.<\/p>\n<p>In her ruling, Magistrate Chimwaza directed that the charge sheet should contain particulars like the month in which the alleged offence took place unlike just saying in the year 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Mwanamvekha once served as Malawi Savings Bank Chief Executive Officer. He left the role in 2009 and later became Secretary to Treasury in the Bingu wa Mutharika administration between 2010 and 2012.<\/p>\n<p>In 2015 when the bank was being sold, he was Minister of Trade in the Peter Mutharika administration.
