Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Chief Resident Magistrates for eastern region Austin Banda on Tuesday September 27, 2022 acquitted former Malawi National Examination Board (MANEB) Executive Director, Gerald Chiunda, and three others who were answering charges in relation to the leaked 2020 Malawi School Certificate of Examination (MSCE) examinations.<\/p>\n

The other three include Ishmael Faki, who was MANEB\u2019s Chief Examination Development Officer, Joseph Chilombe, Chief Examination officer and Owen Kutho, who was Head of Security.<\/p>\n

Delivering the ruling in Zomba, Banda said the State failed to prove the case against the four and found them with no case to answer. They were arrested on February 2, 2021. This led to the re-administrating of the examinations, a move that costed the government MK4.5 billion.<\/p>\n
