The court has also ordered for a review of a ruling by Mzuzu senior resident magistrate Godfrey Nyirenda who ordered Malawi Police Service and the DPP to investigate Chizuma on the leaked audio.

Kaukonde added that the court has also ordered that the ruling by Mzuzu Magistrate court should be brought before the High Court for review and that whatever processes which were ordered by the court below should be stayed.

The ruling by Nyirenda followed an application by Frighton Mphopho for the court to commence criminal proceedings against Chizuma for revealing official information.

Kaukonde has argued that the subject matter that resulted into the granting of the order by the Mzuzu magistrate court were already decided by another court in Blantyre.
