In April 2021 at the beginning of political campaigns for the August 2021 elections , the Patriotic Front hired Mwitwa’s law firm- Anna Mwitwa Legal Practitioners, to handle bills related to media houses, radio and tv stations, for its campaign adverts, live coverage, programmes, and design and erection of Bill Boards.
On Monday 27th June,2022, the DEC charged Mwitwa with possession of property reasonably suspected of being proceeds of crime.
She was released on K100,000 bond with two sureties.
The DEC has jointly charged her with former PF Secretary General, Hon. Davies Mwila, who is yet to appear before the Commission.
