Vice-President Chilima with Minister of Justice Titus Mvalo: There should be stiffer penalties on sex offenders
Speaking during the International Human Rights Day today in Rumphi Mvalo said he will be taking to Parliament an amendment to the Criminal Procedure and Evidence Code on uniformity in sentencing cases relating to sexual violence.
He said the amendment will mean that the courts will have to mete out same sentences on similar issues so that the sentences will not be at the discretion of the magistrates.
