Convicted business mogul Thomson Mpinganjira has filed for bail pending appeal of his 9 year jail term.
Registrar of the High Court and Malawi Supreme Court of Appeal Gladys Gondwe has confirmed.
According to Gondwe, Mpinganjira’s application is scheduled to be heard on November 18 2021 before Judge John Chirwa.
Gondwe said that the matter has been transferred from Judge Dorothy DeGabrielle to Chirwa as she is scheduled to leave the country for further studies.
The businessperson and philanthropist is serving a nine-year jail sentence after being found guilty for attempting to bribe five High Court Judges that presided over the historic presidential election nullification case.
