I am delighted with the ruling from the high court on our extradition case. I am happy that the judge has agreed with our position which my lawyers advanced in the magistrate court that the extradition proceedings must proceed by way of a preliminary inquiry.
This means that witnesses must come physically to Malawi except according to the judge if the state is able to show exceptional circumstances why the hearing should be given by video conferencing. For now it’s business as usual for us and we will wait for the next step that the state will take. One day, I mean one day, the truth shall prevail!
