Senior Resident Magistrate Montfort Misunje has granted bail to Chisomo Makala, a 20 year old woman who was arrested for sharing indecent pictures on a WhatsApp group depicting President Lazarus Chakwera.

Appearing before court on Thursday in Lilongwe, Magistrate Misunje said the State has failed to demonstrate how the accused will interfere with its witnesses, as an objection which it earlier presented before the court.

The court has however directed the accused to pay a cash bond of K10, 000, produce one traceable and reliable surety bonded at K30, 000 non-cash and be reporting to Central West Police Headquarters on Thursdays every fortnight.

Hearing of the matter has been adjourned to 10th November this year.
