The High Court in Blantyre on Tuesday ordered Malawi Communications Regulatory Authority (MACRA) to unseal Ampex Courier’s business outlets and stop contemplated criminal prosecutions against the company’s employees; awaiting judicial review.

This comes barely two weeks after MACRA had shut down the Courier’s operations over non-payment of license fees and levies of K29.6 million.



The Director of Legal Affairs at MACRA, Dan Chiwoni confirmed of receiving the court order in an interview with the press.

Ampex Courier is one of the country’s largest courier companies owned by Minister of Trade Mark Katsonga Phiri.
