He appeared in court in Lilongwe on Wednesday.

The former roads authority boss was reported to have awarded a contract worth $303,823 (K217 million based on the exchange rate then) for the design and supervision of various roads constructions in Central and Southern Regions of Malawi.

ACB investigations proved the accusations but Hiwa claimed that at the time of awarding the contract, Infracon had less workload as compared to other consultants in Malawi.

But, ACB found that the truth was that no any consultant was contacted to find out if they were free to undertake this contract.
