In a disgraceful scene of events, a Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) presidential hopeful in the 2025 elections who is also the Leader of Opposition in Parliament Kondwani Nankhumwa has been summoned by the Child Justice Court sitting in Lilongwe over child maintenance.

According to a summon which is in circulation and seen by 247 Malawi News, a girl named Letina Kamwamba is the applicant in the case.



“By this summons, you are hereby ordered to appear before the above mentioned court behind Chilambula Admarc area 4, on the 20th day of April 23 at 9:00 in forenoon to answer the summons of the above applicant against you for child maintenance.

“TAKE WARNING that if you fail to attend court on the date and time stated, matter will proceed in your absence,” reads part of the summon signed by Magistrate Diana Mangwana.

Nankhumwa is yet to comment on the matter.
