8 year jail term for Mussa
By Wezi Gausi @Joygausi
High Court Judge Patrick Chirwa has sentenced former Minister of Information Henry Mussa to 3 years imprisonment for the offence of conspiracy to steal and 5 years imprisonment for the offence of receiving stolen property.
The court has also sentenced former Director of Information Gideon Munthali to 3 years imprisonment for conspiracy to commit a felony and 6 years imprisonment for theft by public person.
This follows their conviction in October last year in relation to the case of 10 computers and a genset which disappeared at the Ministry of Information.
Both their sentences shall run concurrently, starting from the date of conviction.
Mussa served as a Cabinet Minister under both the United Democratic Front-led government and the Democratic Progressive Party regime.
