[Rev. 2012] Penal Code CAP. 63 111. Evidence of perjury or subornation of perjury A person cannot be convicted of committing perjury or of subornation of perjury solely upon the evidence of one witness as to the falsity of any statement alleged to be false. [L.N. 761/1963.] 112. Contradictory statements (1) Where a witness in any judicial proceedings (other than a person accused of an offence in criminal proceedings) has made a statement on oath or affirmation of some fact relevant in the proceedings, contradicting in a material detail a previous statement made on oath or affirmation by the same witness before the same court or any other court or tribunal, such witness, if a court is satisfied that either of such statements was made with intent to deceive, is guilty of an offence and is liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years. (2) Upon the trial of any person for an offence under this section, it shall not be necessary to prove the falsity of either of the contradictory statements, but, upon proof that both the statements were made by him, the court, if satisfied that the statements, or either of them, were or was made with intent to deceive, shall convict the accused. (3) At the trial of any person for an offence under this section, the record of a court or tribunal containing any statement made on oath or affirmation by the person charged shall be prima facie evidence of such statement. (4) For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby declared that a person shall be liable to be convicted of an offence under this section notwithstanding that any statement made by him before a court or tribunal was made in reply to a question which he was bound by law to answer, and any such statement shall be admissible in any proceedings under this section. [Act No. 54 of 1960, s. 23.] 112A. Malicious information (1) Any person who, with intent to cause harm or inconvenience to another person, gives or makes to— (a) any magistrate or member of the police force; or (b) any officer having power to apprehend or order the apprehension of offenders, any information or complaint in relation to that other person that he knows to be false is guilty of a misdemeanour or, where subsection (3) or (4) applies, of a felony. (2) Where, as a result of an offence under this section, any person sustains actual bodily harm, the offender shall on conviction be liable to be punished as for assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
