In terms of s111(2) of the Constitution of the Republic all other judges shall be appointed by the president on the recommendation of the Judicial Services Commission…can someone with info from a reliable source in the judiciary confirm please. We dont want a temporary president exercising powers for his personal benefit.

We have had a good judiciary when it was headed by Justices Banda, Unyolo, Munlo, Makuta and Msosa. The current head has brought it to disrepute. Doesn’t he read the judgements for his inputs before each judge has effected them?

I am sure these new judges will teach the Hi5 judges on how to administer JUSTICE. I mean the JUSTICE which does not see the tribe, the region or the political affiliation of the person.

We are tired with the tumbuka infested kangaroo courts who are bent at nothing but to facilitate the entry of their fellows into government through backdoor. Mwachepa mafana, nkhanga zawona.

APM muwona naye nyekhweeee!

It is really shocking, to see so many Malawians, like this so-called wamuyaya, how backward they are. All they think is tribalism, and feel comforted if a Lomwe is elevated to a high position. This stupid mentality is the cause of entrenched mediocrity and underdevelopment in Malawi.

but the truth is that these judges can not handle issue ili ku supreme. awa ndi ma judge a ku high court not suprime then its difficult to understand the logic that they have been appointed to help them to case at suprime.
