The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has restored charges against former minister of finance Joseph Mwanamvekha who had his case discharged earlier this year.

The state through its director of criminal litigation asked the magistrate court in Lilongwe yesterday to commit the accused to the High court where he will be charged with offences relating to financial misreporting to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) between 2018 and 2020.

According to Malunda the decision to restore the charges has been necessited following a thorough analysis of the evidence before hand.
