Malawi State Loses Anti-corruption Chief Suspension Bid 

A high court in Malawi has rejected a bid by the government to uphold the suspension of the head of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, Martha Chizuma. <br />Ms. Chizuma was interdicted on grounds that she was facing criminal charges whereby she is accused of defaming some high-ranking government officials. <br />The alleged defamatory remarks are contained in a secretly recorded private conversation that she had with a person not employed by her office. <br />The president however says he would not sack her because he considered the recording and its circulation to be corruption fighting back.
