Undule Mwakasungula and Fryson Chodzi trading under what is called Joint Civil Society on Good Governance wrote the Chief Justice claiming that Chilima met with Judiciary Support Staff and made bribes intended to influence the Constitutional Court.
President of the Judiciary Support Staff Trade Union, Â Andy Haliwa Tchuwa has taken the matter to court.

The Anti-Corruption Bureau recently arrested a Democratic Progressive Party financier and sympathizer Thom Mpinganjira on allegations that he attempted to bribe the Constitutional Court judges with K100 million to make a ruling in the election case in favour of president Peter Mutharika and the Malawi Electoral Commission.
The Constitutional Court however annulled the May 21, 2019 presidential elections and ordered a fresh poll after noting that last year’s presidential election was marred with anomalies and irregularities that were so systematic and widespread that the election result p grossly compromised.
The court is yet to set the date for the commencement of the case.

Mwakasungula is standing for democracy. He needs our support.
The judiciary has taken sides and has gone rogue. This is death of democracy as we know it. Anthu mukuwombela mfiti mmanja

Teach them a lesson so that they can know corrupt money will backfire one day.
Some people love money more than anything else, they throw away their original long held beliefs, principles, ethics and morality for money. What a shame. I feel very embarrassed. So the Supreme Court was also bribed when they confirmed the Concourt judgement? Please don’t create accusations just because you want to counterbalance with what your fellow dpp supporter Thom allegedly did. That is the matter for the courts.
Shame indeed!
And he pretty well knows it’s a cooked up story. Evil people.
