The development follows a raid last Friday in which more than 20 officers from the Malawi Police Service and the Malawi Revenue Authority (MRA) searched his law offices in Lilongwe and Mzuzu.
I have been practising law for 17 years now in Malawi and will continue to do so until I die,” Kadzipatike said.
“Each year, MRA has been giving me Tax Clearance Certificates, showing that I have been tax compliant.
Kadzipatike said he was concerned that prolonged detention could prevent him from attending an internal committee meeting scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday.
The circumstances surrounding the reported warrant, including the specific tax allegations and the amount of money, if any, allegedly owed, remain unclear.
