For long, the Peter Mutharika family question has been under controversy. While Mutharika has argued that he was once married and his wife died leaving him with three children, others have said Mutharika is a plain liar and has no family.

However, news has started emerging of one of Mutharika’s children, Moyenda, who is a practising attorney. Who is Moyenda really?
