High Court Judge Justice Kenyatta Nyirenda has dismissed an application by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) that was asking him to recuse himself from presiding over a judicial review case involving Former Inspector General of Police George Kainja.
This is a review in which Kainja is challenging his arrest in relation to the Zunneth Sattar Corruption case.
ACB had weeks ago applied, asking Nyirenda to recuse himself from the case arguing he is conflicted.
But in a ruling delivered on Monday, Justice Nyirenda dismissed the ACB application, saying the reasons given in the application failed to satisfy the court.
ACB is yet to comment on the ruling.
President Lazarus Chakwera fired Kainja three months ago after he was implicated in corruption scandal involving well-known businessman Zuneth Sattar.
