Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Vice President for Eastern Region Bright Msaka this morning visited convicted former Minister of Information Henry Mussa at Maula Prison in Lilongwe.

Mussa together with former director of Information Gideon Munthali were convicted in a case the two were answering related to theft of computers and a generator meant for the Ministry of Information worth K10.1 million.

High Court Judge Patrick Chirwa, sitting as chief resident magistrate, found the two guilty of conspiring to commit a felony.

Chirwa also found Munthali guilty on the charge of theft by public servant. The judge said apart from failing to surrender the computers and generator to the ministry, Munthali also failed to produce a report to account for the items.

The court also found Mussa guilty of receiving items suspected to have been stolen.

The date for sentencing of the two is yet to be communicated.
The two are currently reminded at Maula Prison awaiting the sentence.
