Former Malawi Defence Force (MDF) general Henry Odillo is back in the High Court in Lilongwe to answer charges of theft of public money.
Odillo: Not part of the committee that awarded contracts to suppliers like Thuso Group
Odillo, 56, is facing charges alongside former deputy commander Clement Kafuwa, 66, former Accountant General David Kandoje and Ganizani Kuchombo, 42.
The four are accused of sanctioning payments to Thuso Group, a South Africa-based business group which prosecutors say was a fake military equipment supplier and, allegedly, invoiced and received pay from MDF amounting to K920 000 000 and ZAR30 000 000 (K1.5 billion) for supply of ammunition which they did not deliver.
