The Malawi High Court in Lilongwe has revoked bail for attempted-murder suspect, Mr. Ralph Kasambara.

Kasambara joins MacDonald Kumwembe, his co-accused in the Paul Mphwiyo shooting. Kumwembe was condemned to prison for 4 months for contempt having blasted Judge Michael Mtambo as ‘modern day Robin-hood’.

Kumwembe, a former Malawi Defence Force (MDF) officer  and businessman Pika Manondo are accused together with Ralph Kasambara of conspiring to murder the then National Budget Director, Mr. Paul Mphwiyo.

Justice Michael Mtambo revoked the bail after establishing that Kasambara, who had failed in his bid to force the judge to recuse himself from presiding over the case, was using the backdoor to have his wish come to pass by using Kumwembe to force Mtambo out of the case.

Director of Public Prosecution also stated that judges and state witnesses were being threatened and followed by the accused hence the need to have all their bail revoked on security grounds. It was alleged that Paul Mphwiyo saw the former Justice Minister at his home late in the trial.

The judge said it was without doubt that Ralph Kasambara was involved in some activities that ought to be investigated.

While presiding over the case, Judge Mtambo observed that respective applications by Kumwembe and Kasambara to have the judge recuse himself were attempts to derail the case.

Mtambo ruled Kasambara should be remanded immediately. But Kasambara applied for stay order to have his confinement start on Friday, claiming there are “some personal issues” he needs to sort out, an application Judge Mtambo described as “strange”.

Hearing on the stay order continues this afternoon.

  3. You have to understand judicial matters. First they were in court to establish whether he had a case to answer or not which Kasambala failed to defend himself and now he is answering the case.

  5.

  10. Hahaha Lawyer wa a prophet wamangidwa! A Prophet nawonso sakudziwa kuti dziko linasintha eti? Bvuto lokhalitsa kunja! Zoti anthu a Cash gate onse akuyimilirilidwa ndi Kasambara palibe a kupulumuka? He used to shop judges to win cases to make his name and now its his down fall.

  12. Here the judge wants to make history. But if he takes it too personal Kasambara will be acquitted. He need to trade this matter with sobber mind. Not to be influenced with some few individuals…

  31. Law is so wicked and vry complexed one to understnd cz whether the offendant really comited the offence, but if the facts that are being presented in a court are strong enough then the offendant emerge a winner, thats Kasambala always ptesents those facts that alwys causes sm headache to his fellow lawyers ,,,,,, But apart frm being intelligent in law, he is also vry clever in his field thats wy there are always dribbles in the court whenever that gentleman has been netted ,,,, Lots of adjournmnts are alwys there and his cases alwys ends up in vain ,,,,,,,, kkkkkkkkkkkk ,,,

  45. Kasambara ndi onse a Hinya adamulakwitsa JB. When Bingu died, they ate, danced at LL Golf Club. So it’s payback time before God fishes off Kasambara. Amayesa ndi dolo pano waona kuti Peter ndi Peter.

  46. But why is Ralph Kasambara always becomes tough to be prosecuted whenever he is found guilty in every of his case ,??? Kkkkkkkkkkkk ,,,, Does it mean that he is the most and ever qualified in as far as Law is concerned in Malawi than those Gvt lawyers ?? Why is it that Lawyers fail to pass a verdict to that guy, is he poweful or he is the most intelligent in as far as judicial matters are concerned in Malawi ? Why is that guy always causes sm headache to his fellow lawyers whenever he is accused of commiting any particular offence ?? Everytime when Ralph is in the court, the judges fail to handle the cases incisively, hence making Kasambara enjoy the accusations and eventually he end up being acquitted as if he did not commit the offence ,,,,,,,,, Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk ,,,,,, Wat type of buks did he studied ,,,,, ?

    8. Kkkkkkkkk ,,,,,,,. So many views abt this guy, but shud we conclude that he is the only Jurist in Malawi ? Wat abt the Kaphales, the Wakinas, the Mwakhwawas, the Noels, the Mbenderas and the like ,,,, Does he hold a high Jurisprudencial skills than his fellow lawyers ? Kkkkkkkkkkkk ,,,,,,, But lets wait & see if he has really been punched in the Ring ,,,,,,,
