The Lilongwe Principal Resident Magistrate’s Court has granted bail to Calisto Khama Matumbi, the bodyguard of UTM president Dalitso Kabambe, following his arrest on Sunday for allegedly carrying a firearm to the Bingu International Convention Centre (BICC) during the presidential nomination process.
Matumbi is facing two charges illegal possession of a firearm and violating electoral laws.
Presiding Magistrate Benjamin Chulu granted him bail upon payment of K100,000, with his surety bound to K500,000 in the event of his absconding.
