Cash Madam s case now to be handled by Chief Resident Magistrate Patrick Chirwa

Senior Resident Magistrate Shyreen Chirwa has referred to Chief Resident Magistrate Patrick Chirwa the money laundering and fraud case against former Malawi Energy Regulatory Authority (MERA) chief executive officer Collins Magalasi, business person Dorothy Shonga Nkhoma and two other MERA officials Patrick Maulidi and Bright Mbewe. Lawyer for Magalasi applied before Shyreen Chirwa to have the case transferred to another magistrate saying Shyreen Chirwa was already handling a case involving Magalasi and MERA. The lawyer, Andy Kaonga argued that having one magistrate handle cases involving the same person, company and witnesses could affect fair trial. Shyreen Chirwa expressed concern over the reasoning of Kaonga saying it was demeaning.

Collins Magalasi s case adjourned to 3pm

Senior Resident Magistrate Shireen Chirwa has adjourned to this afternoon the case in which former executive director of the Malawi Energy Regulatory Authority-Mera Collins Magalasi is accused of abusing his office in 2018. Earlier, Magalasi’s lawyer Andy Kaonga requested the court for an adjournment to a later date because he had insufficient time to go through some documents, and since had a health challenge. However, the magistrate denied to grant the adjournment, upon which Kaonga told the court to recuse itself on the basis that it is biased toward the state. The case continues at three pm, when Magistrate Chirwa will make a ruling on that.
