A 40-year-old woman, Damalesi Laison Bisenti, whose husband was accidentally shot by an Admarc guard at Mbenje depot in Nsanje in 2016, has blamed ADMARC for failing to give the family compensation as promised.
The woman told Zodiak today that her husband, Laison Bisenti, who was also a community policing forum member, was shot when he was trying to help contain the commotion that erupted when villagers were scrambling to buy maize.
Damalesi say she has been struggling to take care of the four children because of a lack of financial resources, to the extent that some children have dropped out of school.
The woman adds that they once visited Admarc head offices in Limbe to push for compensation, but to no avail.
ADMARC spokesperson Agnes Ndovie asked for time to get finer details of the alleged incident, considering that it happened some years ago and that most current members of staff are new and need to fully understand the matter before action is taken.
Unintentional shootings can lead to criminal charges, ranging from misdemeanor criminal negligence to felony-level manslaughter. Accidental shootings that result in fatalities attract more serious charges. You need to have a criminal defense attorney on your side anytime you are likely to face criminal charges for accidentally shooting someone. Your attorney will protect your rights and determine the best legal defense and arguments to raise. The attorney will also devise an effective strategy for weakening the prosecution’s case and lowering your chances of getting convicted.
A person who shoots and kills another person can face a second-degree manslaughter charge. Manslaughter is a felony-level offense. It is commonly known as criminally negligent homicide. A manslaughter conviction can arise if a person dies due to the offender’s grossly negligent actions or inherently risky conduct.
Courts often consider mitigating and aggravating factors when determining sentences for manslaughter convictions. The ensuing sentences usually comprise penalties like imprisonment or fines or both.
Wrongful death compensation is calculated based on a monetary amount that covers both economic and non economic losses for the survivors, usually children and spouses of the deceased, the parents of a deceased minor child, for the deceased’s estate, and for blood relatives or adoptive siblings who are in some way dependent on the person.
If you have lost a loved one through someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation through a wrongful death claim for awards starting from when the injury occurred up to the point of death, plus interest. Well placed teams should be contacted by affected individuals and families.
*Wrongful Death Compensation Damages You Could Win*
Wrongful death occurs when an individual is at fault and liable for another’s death, such as through reckless and risky driving. Wrongful death is a civil tort claim that is independent of any criminal charge. The idea behind it is that the wrongdoer should pay for the losses, not the survivors. The alleged negligent party may pay the deceased’s survivors or their estate the awards.
*Depending on your state, in a wrongful death lawsuit, you may be entitled to awards for economic losses like:*
Hospital, pharmaceutical, and medical expenses before death.
Wages lost after the accident and before the decedent passed.
Funeral expenses if the survivor or estate paid.
*You may also be entitled to receive awards for non economic losses like:*
Pain and suffering your loved one experienced before death.
Surviving spouse’s lost companionship and protection.
Surviving spouse’s pain and suffering.
Loss of parental training, companionship, and guidance for minor children.
Pain and suffering for parents who have lost a child.
*The financial and emotional support you expected to receive from your loved one may also be covered in the compensation. This could include anything from daily assistance to the decedent’s savings you would have benefited from. The amount of support each family member can collect is based on a few factors:*
Your relationship to the deceased.
The cost of replacing services rendered by your loved one.
The amount of net income available to distribute.

AHL Group executive board chair Dan Makata says AHL has taken additional measures in its bid to deal with delays in payment of daily tobacco purchase invoices by some tobacco buyers, which is contributing negatively towards AHL capacity to pay tobacco growers and transporters.
Addressing scores of farmers senior Government officials at Mzuzu Auction Flours during the commissioning of this year’s Tobacco Marketing season, Makata said AHL relies on funds from its stakeholders to do its business.
“
AHL relies on funds received from tobacco buyers to pay for tobacco growers, transporters and all who receive payments in the tobacco sales value chain,” he said.
Makata said inherent delays in bank clearing
systems for the United States Dollar denominated payments from Buyers has negative impact on the overall supply chain.
He said it takes an average of two to three
days after a buyer pays, for AHL to see the credits in its Clearing Account and the situation is worse especially when done during weekends.
Investigations undertook hours after the suspension of Tobacco market at AHL has revealed multiple multifaceted factors which are contributing to the lated delivery of funds of funds to the tobacco farmers.
Chief among the reasons is that some banks are delaying disbursements of funds deliberately for no apparent reasons
Our investigations has revealed that AHL Commenced release of payments and related electronic files to banks on 17th April 2023 two days after commencement of sales.
We have further gathered that first Farmers got
their proceeds from 22nd April 2024 due to inherent delays in the banking clearing systems.
Our reporters have on record that delays are caused by delays by some banks to process and credit tobacco sales’ payments into growers’ and transporters’ accounts after AHL Tobacco Sales
Limited has paid the banks, due to own internal challenges.
We can also reveal that as of 6th May 2024, other banks did not have serious challenges except
NBM that had system and file compatibility issues with the AHLpayment files.
We can put on record that this was an isolated challenge but unfortunately itaffected many farmers as NBM is the main disbursement bank to otherbanks.
Other factors causing the delay include payment of daily tobacco purchase invoices by some tobacco buyers, which consequently affects AHL Tobacco Sales Limited’s capacity to pay tobacco growers and transporters.
The other thing that we have noted is that AHL relies on funds received from tobacco buyers to pay tobacco growers, transporters and
all who receive payments in the tobacco sales value chain.
Our investigations have further indicated that inherent delays in clearing USD payments from Buyers since buyers are expected to settle payments within 24 hours.
What it means is that due to inherent banking system delays, it takes two to three days after a Tobacco Buyer hasissued a payment instruction for AHL to see the credits in its Main Clearing Account used to pay growers.
Now the other thing is that Dollar transfer instructions by buyers go through RBM and foreign correspondent banks mostly CITI Bank in New York and this makes AHL to wait until the credits reflect for it to release
growers’ payments to local banks.
Another factor is the delay in changing the currency since under a Directive by the Tobacco Commission which came into effectin the 2023 tobacco season, Nyasa Tobacco Company buys tobacco inDollars on the Floors but pays in Malawi Kwacha.
We can also reveal that a grower whose tobacco is bought partially by NyasaTobacco Company and other tobacco buyers is paid in Dollars forpurchases by all other buyers and in Kwacha for what Nyasa buys.What it meant is that AHL was only holding Foreign Currency Denominated Accounts on such growers’ files resulting in the Kwacha payment delays as the grower is only paid the Kwachaportion after he/she has provided AHL with a secondary Malawi Kwacha account.
We have also observed that AHL has been individually calling farmers with FCDA accounts to furnish AHL with a secondary Malawi Kwacha account to accommodate Nyasa Tobacco Company Kwachapayments for those with FCDA accounts causing a delay in the
payments for these farmers.
We managed to talk to Jacob Banda a farmer from Kapiri Mchinji who urged AHL to resolve the technical aspects being faced.
“We are farmers whatever these people are facing we cant even understand what we are saying resolve all your issues and give us money. We are also urging the National Bank to resolve their issues as well,” he said.
