“Presumed innocent” -if you are a lawyer suspected of a criminal offence but are out in bail. “Presumed guilty” -if you remain in custody and can’t afford bail money. Selective justice, apparently. Justice for the rich and powerful. Deliberate “holes” in the laws, I presume. Or failure to fill in the “holes” by the incompetent and corrupt. Disgusted by so-called justice.
MANEB doesn’t select failures into sec sch. The university only admits those who have done well on entrance exams leaving thousands with rights to sec and university education . Why should the judiciaryadmit people who have failed the pprofession in this way. Its either incompetence has crept in or they are part of them. Imagine the sentence given to Sezani, does it show that the judiciary is ready to protect the national purse? Remember the Muluzi case and how section 65 case was handled by the judiciary. Parliament must come up with laws to ensure that lawyers and the judiciary… Read more »
Chirwa is right that the judiciary has disgraced the law profession by allowing suspects to represent fellow suspects. This is not about rights and freedom. It is about ethics and morals. Some of our lawyers are far from it. This is why elsewhere noble and responsible people resign in order to pave way for investigation if illegal things happen under their nose.from a layman’s point of view I expected the judiciary being a noble profession to debar all those suspected in the cash gate until they are proven innocent.
Cases of cashgate are putting Malawi governing institutions to test. We have been hearing that the payment system the government used through the IFMS was full of holes that lead to siphoning of public funds. Now the execution of these cases is now also bringing to light alarming holes and weaknesses our governing institutions have. It brings one to question whether there can be meaningful development operating in pourous these enviroment. The judiciary also needs patching as it also have holes. In fact the hole system have holes. That is why our economy is failing to be in tune with… Read more »
Lawyers at work with weak laws of malawi
Yes, everyone is innocent until proven guilty. Chirwa is not arguing against the constitution. There should be exceptions to laws. A sick doctor should not be allowed to treat patients even if he has the right to do so. This protects not only the patient, but also other patients and doctors. When a politician or CEO goofs, we call for their resignation. They don’t have to, but it is only prudent both for themselves and the public to step aside. This is the norm – a good one. It does not contravene the laws. Chirwa is simply saying the same… Read more »
Malawi needs people like you to be AG or minister of justice, there is alot of substance in your article to a layman like me, but i will wait if someone in the same circles ever came to see this enlightment, we are being abused by the lawyers and they seem to care less and the fees they charge are only affordable to cashgate criminals, and where is the so called integrity? Come home and make us be proud of a corrupt free judiciary, am pissed off with the scenarios Prof Chirwa, i love your posts.
Why is government allowing this. Is everyone blind in malawi. This is morally wrong. Law society, Chief Justice and all the judges magistrates why are you allowing this. Just because we are not lawyers, Malawians are not stupid.
Do you have laws in malawi? This are laws for dead people who can support thieves.
MEC, PAC, And MLS all fall under the same umbrella of disgrace so glad I don’t belong to any of these useless organization.
