The chief executive of Malawi's power generating company appeared in court on Thursday to face charges that he steered contracts towards a business associate. Kandi Padambo, the boss of the Electricity Supply Commission of Malawi (ESCOM), denied all five charges that were read out in front of a packed courtroom in Blantyre before he was granted bail.
As well as allegedly using his influence to ensure contracts were awarded to companies owned by one of his associates, Padambo is also accused of misusing his public office, with two counts of failing to disclose his interests while chairing an internal procurement committee.
