LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-Opposition Malawi Congress Party (MCP) Secretary General Richard Chimwendo Banda has been committed to Maula Prison after he was discharged from the hospital on Monday afternoon, December 29, 2025.
His lawyer, George Jivason Kadzipatike told the Nation online that his client was discharged on recommendation from the doctors.
Kadzipatike, however, said the MCP secretary general is not fully fit as doctors have given him another day when he should go for medical treatment.
Chimwendo Banda has been in the hospital for the past two weeks after he fell sick while in police custody.
He is waiting for judgement on his bail application, which Judge Mzonde Mvula said would be communicated on an unspecified date.
The MCP SG is accused of attempting to kill former MCP member Frank Chiwanda in Dowa in 2022.
Chimwendo is yet to be granted bail.
