The High Court in Blantyre has shifted to July 15, 2021 submission of final arguments by the state and defense in the attempted judge bribery case involving businessman, Dr. Thomson Mpinganjira.
Registrar of the High Court and Supreme Court of Appeal, Gladys Gondwe confirmed of the development in an interview with the press on Monday.
According to Gondwe, the case has been shifted to July 15 because the presiding Judge Dorothy De Gabrielle has other engagements this Wednesday, a day the submissions were initially scheduled to be made.
Mpinganjira is accused of attempting to bribe Constitutional Court Judges who were handling a presidential polls case.
He wanted the Judges to rule in favour of former President Peter Mutharika of Democratic Progressive Party (DPP).
