Prosecutor Reyneck Matemba who is ACB deputy director, in his response to defence lawyer Necton Mhura, said that the court should pass custodial sentence because Senzani committed breach of trust as a controlling officer. He added that Malawi government has lost donor aid because of her stealing.

“When Senzani stole, she knew she would get caught and lose her job. After restitution, government has lost donor aid. She has restituted and pleaded guilty but decision to steal from Malawians still stands.”

Matemba also argued against Mhura’s suggestion that Senzani cooperated with the prosecution. Matemba said Senzani didn’t help prosecution, she remained silent and only pleaded guilty because of the overwhelming evidence against her.
