Court awards Mkaka, others to receive K200 million for unfair dismissal from First Capital Bank

March 15, 2021 Nyasa Times Reporter 48 Comments

Minister of Foreign Affairs, Eisenhower Mkak  has received good news from Industrial Relations Court (IRC) over unfair dismissal case  against  Malawi’s listed commercial bank, First Capital Bank  which rebranded from First Merchant Bank Limited (FMB) that dates back to 2012.

Mkaka: Gets further compensation from first Capital Bank after court order

Mkaka, who was working as Senior Business Development Manager for FMB, was dismissed from his job in May 2012 along 17 others, in what later turned out to be unfair dismissal.

A court case that started in May 2012, resulted into Mkaka and others getting an initial compensation award of about K521 million in June last year (2020)

A further court ruling delivered on 11th March 2021 shows that the 18 applicants are set to receive in excess of MK200 million out of which Mkaka, who was the first applicant in the case, is expected to get K65 million.

Mkaka said he had not read the court order in full and could not immediately comment.

The Public Relations Officer for the Minister, Negracious Justin, referred us to the lawyer, Allan Chinula SC, who was representing the Applicants in the case.

“I am not a competent authority to comment on that issue. Since the matter relates to a Court proceeding, may I refer you to the legal counsel who was acting on behalf of the Applicants?” said Justin.

Chinula has since confirmed the documents in our possession.

  1. Mwayamba zopusa a “Tonse Alliance”. Mwagwirizana ndi ma courts kuti azipanga zokomera anthu amene ali mu system yanu cholinga azigamula milandu mokomera inu.

  2. Ine sinkuonapo cholakwika… Mmaona ngati akuti 200m yonseyo akutenga yekha ka. Papita almost 4 years chiwachotsele that’s 48 months, 65 000 000 / 48 = 1.3m per month which i believe is not far from his salary. Mwina I’ve made an error in mu logic koma sinkuonapo choopya 🤷

Inu zokuti zithanduza our brothers and sisters at the bank simukuonapo? Anthu azichotsedwa ntchito pa zifukwa zake

  7. Mkaka waposa Chisale and Mulli combined. Pano angolamula ndi makhothi omwe ali 500 million ija inachepa onjezerani 200 ya pamwamba. Tonse woyeee!!!!

  9. Alomwe kudzikonda, nsanje too much, you feel you were made to rule this country for ever kapena ndi umbuli wanu achina form form, faking your credentials kuti muzioneka ngati ndinu otero, why connecting this Mkaka IRC issue with politics????? If you can check properly, the others mentioned in the article are your relatives as well, I mean lomwes. Issue here is unfair dismissal between Mkaka/Others vs FCB. So kubweretsa politics is this zikusonyezelatu u form form wanu. Muchila osadanda koma mochedwerapo.

    1. You are very stupid in your assessment , the man wasn’t fired because he was a Lomwe. Rather he was Mcp and was frustrating the governments agenda.A case of mphaka ndi khoswe. Nothing to do with tribe.

      1. Inu ndichifukwa ndikuti ndinu a form form, Mkaka was working with First Merchant Bank before he joined politics. So how does it concern government agenda????? It is not government paying Mkaka and others the money for unfair dismissal but FCB,wamva fomu fomu iwe?????

        2. Fools would think that education goes by tribe. Painting one tribe with Form Form brush and another tribe with degree degree brush.

    2. Poyamba a tumbuka amaoneka okha anzeru koma linali bodza kuli chaponda, kabambe uku ndatchula awili basi

      1. Jah, leave tribe alone. Done of us have one parent from the South and one from the North….. Zimativuta maganizidwe ake akakhala amenewo

        1. Eeeish and the way I hate this stupidity too. My mom is a Chewa married to a Lomwe man too and it’s all good.

    1. Olo akanakhala osauka, taonanpo anthu osauka ambiri akulemera koma kamba kolimbikira ntchito osati kuba ndi u-crook. Congratulations to Mkaka et’ al for winning the civil case.
      Kungoti vuto ndi loti milandu ku IRC take years to conclude. Anthu amadandaula kwambiri akapititsa nkhani zawo.

  11. A Mkaka zanu zayenda. Muli ndi personal experience ya mmene zinthu sizikuyendera ku IRC kusiyana ndi ma MP ena ku nyumba ya malamulo. Chonde yesetsani kumenyerako nkhondo anthubosauka, opanda dzina omwe mirandi yawo idaima kalekale. Kapangeninlamuro ngati maiko a a nzathu kuti mirandu ku IRC izitha within 6 months. Use your experience to help victims of injustice. Musakhale chete kudyerera ndalama nkuiwala awo adakuvoterani chifukwa nose ndi a Chakwera omwe mutifunaso.

    1. You are very right One Malawi. It is taking too long to get justice at IRC and there is a continuous flow of people and most of them very poor looking for justice that is delayed. Imagine this case started in 2012 and it took 8 years to get concluded. There is need to revise the law guiding the manner in which IRC operates. Why should they only be in Mzuzu, Blantyre and Lilongwe? Mkaka you are now in Parliament. Help us.

  12. Mufuna munamize ndani..? Mufuna tizizati chuma mulinacho mza compensation iasah amamgwetu nkhanga zoona kale apa .

    2. Before independence, your grandfathers barked against tumbukas, during independence they marked again, throughout they have been barking and that is what they have passed on to you. You have inherited hatred and you are full of that. Your children will inherit this trash and speak against tumbukas. Shame on you
