Former Higher Education Students Loans and Grants Board Executive Director late Chris Chisoni has been removed from the charge sheet in a case he was accused of abusing K5.1 million.
Chisoni together with the Loans Board’s former finance and administration manager Enos Ganunga and loans manager Chimwemwe Kaphagawani were arrested in August last year.
The three were charged with abuse of public funds.
When the Lilongwe Senior Resident Magistrate’s Court convened yesterday to hear testimonies from State witnesses, senior State advocate Pirirani Masanjala told the court that Chisoni, who was the first suspect in the case, was removed from the charge sheet following his death on September 24.
When defence asked to have his bail money returned, Masanjala objected to the submission.
“The matter has not been concluded so the bail money cannot be claimed at this stage,” Masanjala was quoted by one of the local daily papers.
The development means that the case now involves two people.
The case has since been adjourned to December 3, 2021.
