people in law and justice should act to protect other sectors as well not when it directly involves there interest only. what about striking teachers. this is not the first time they have reacted like this.

This is nosense and stupid, how can you relate elections and the strike, these are two different things. I think what should the government do is to revise judiciary staff salaries and match them with those of civil service. The judiciary should not have their own salaries they have to go togather with civil service. What special is judicial? Are they have different education academic quakifcations with those in civil service

Yes according to the law. But the victims of those who are in custody have also not received justice. Which court will hear the law suits? The judiciary should be sued. They will be the sued and the judges!!!!

I agree that the rights of our brothers and a few sisters have been suspended in the absence of Court operations. But on the other hand am fully aware that the lawyers are also sleeping on an empty stomach as they earn between MK 50,000.00 to MK 120,000.00 for every person they support to obtain a bail from court.

I suppose there is no government in the absence of one of the main three arms of the government.

Thanks bwana legal expert. can you also extend your advice and tell the nation that workers who do not work for a full month are not entitled to get a salary at the end of the month. As it is government should not pay the court staff who have not worked for a full month or pay them for the number of days they worked. chonde govt do give these people our tax money they dont deserve it, apatseni aphunzitsi akupulayimale. angazolowele kumangodya zaulelele.

Only president can immediate thought the matter,so we could very surprise and wonder if he just watch as we do in the football,otherwise we will reach january end or beyond that so dont trouble innocent suspects in cells because there is no food police cells also police men/wemen can manage to hat food for those who do not have relavives close to stations,thank mr.for reminding them maybe they can tacle the matter.

How many suspects have spent years on remand without been given bail? Which suspects are you interested in? Who is denying justice who? Who is responsible for the strikes? Muyisovenge! Government is not a human being, it never loses! You can’t fight the government you will never win. Some Cash gaters are funding these protests to delay their court hearings but no matter how long it will take, the law will take its course!

this strike is unfair, i think government should suck all of those who are striking and recruit new ones. A good example is jonathan goodluck, when he sucked large number of doctors who were refusing to attend ebola patients claiming of less recources, but at the end ebola was deafeted in Nigeria. they are many young skilled people in labour market here in malawi suitable for that job.

Who is doing injustice to Malawians, Judicially staff or Government? Is the judicially strike legal? Who is their leader? Did they give the government enough notice for the strike? These judicially staff are holding the Government to a ransom for a purpose. Somebody is behind this action. The best the government can do is to suspend all the striking staff and recruit young school leavers to take up their jobs. Tatopa nawo amenewa. They were given increments not a long time ago now they want another increment just because salaries for civil servants have been adjusted. Usabi chani!!
