Chakwera removes Malawi prosecutions chief Mary Kachale: Kayuni promoted as new DPP
President Lazarus Chakwera has removed the director of public prosecutions (DPP) Mary Kachale as the Malawi leader continues to consolidate power in government and state machinery five months after the presidential election.
No reasons have been given for the firing of Kachale who has since been replaced by Dr. Steve Kayuni.
Kachale, wife to Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) chairperson and High Court judge Dr Chifundo Kachale, has been sent to the Office of the President and Cabinet (OPC).
It is yet to be known what job she will be doing at OPC.
Kachale’s transfer as the DPP coincides with president Chakwera’s displeasure with the state prosecuting agencies to prosecute those involved in the 2019 presidential election rigging and the mess which led to its annulment.
Chakwera also expressed concern over the slow progress in prosecuting those who stole or abused government and parastatal money.
Among some high-profile cases, Kachale was prosecuting some cashgate cases which are yet to come to conclusion.

Many people did not know that this family is for DDPand its just unfortunate that it is like that move.
She was only interested in Kasambara’s case what else ?? She must go indeed.
Cadets used to say DPP is a system so now your system is crumbling apart. By the end of first year of Tonse Alliance the system will be history . Let the Cadets pay for their atrocities towards fellow Malawians.
She was just sitting PHWIIIII
Is the President not interfering in the operations of that office? Many cases will definitely collapse after she leaves.
Inenso mundiponye komweku ku OPC kukuoneka ngati kuntaya.

Interesting decision but who is Dr kayuni? No background on his experience and qualifications to what he is bringing on the table, reporters do more research when writing.
Kayuni is the state lawyer who has been representing govt in most of it’s cases in court
Kayuni was the deputy to Mary …longtime chief advocate…
Next to go is Mr. Reyneck Matemba of ACB. Let’s wait and see . He will go back to Ministry of Justice within the next six months .
Matemba’s contract is expiring this month (december)end.
Bravo move, we need these corrupt issues to speed up. She has done her part, may she have way to someone who is capable to push things.
