Former Malawi Minister added to a money laundering case

Former Homeland Security Minister Ezekiel Ching’oma has been added in a money laundering case alongside two former senior police officers, Laudon Nthinda and Ackis Muwanga.

The state, represented by Superintendent Davie Kusamale, plans to escalate the case to the High Court.

Ching’oma’s lawyer, Khumbo Soko, intends to request a venue change to Lilongwe.

The case has been adjourned to March 6.

The Malawi Congress Party (MCP) has alleged political targeting following Ching’oma’s arrest, with some viewing it as part of internal party conflicts.
