Malawi Law Society write Ibam for cost of post-election violence

Malawi Law Society has written Indigenous Business Association of Malawi (Ibam) for an expert evaluation on economic and financial implications following the disputed presidential elections.

Kaukonde: The political differences appear not to be dying down

In a letter signed by Malawi Law Society (MLS) president Burton Mhango and secretary Martha Kaukonde, the lawyers body has given Ibam up to the close of business of today, Thursday for the submission of the evaluation report.

MLS earlier had issued another letter, saying it was mandated to prosecute the organisers of the demonstrations for the post-election violence.

“As matters are moving very fast in the current circumstances, we would appreciate your input in the earliest possible,” says the letter.

MLS says the political differences appear not to be dying down.

“The chairperson of the Electoral Commission has not resigned as demanded by the demonstrators. 

“The demonstrations are said to be set to continue. The security agents seem to hold on to the point that their capacity is stretched beyond ability to guarantee public safety and protection during such demonstrations,” says the letter in part.

The letter says the society considers that the issues require and urgent and holistic management.

MLS says it is in this context that the law body wishes to develop further strategies and proposals for managing the situation in accordance with the law.

  1. MLS, WHY CANT YOU SHUT UP IF YOU HAVE NOTHING TANGIBLE TO SAY? ARE YOU THERE TO PROMOTE CONSTITUTIONALISM OR WHAT? SHAME ON YOU!

  2. What laws have organizers broken. If you check protests in Hong Kong or Russia, the police arrests people who are unruly and there is no such thing as suing organizers. So the law society has taken governments side. Its not against the law to hold a march or a protest I thought.

    1. You are not being honest. The Law Society is bidding for DPP. It has lost its legitimacy. It goes to court as friends of the court but in fact it made friends with the DPP

  3. People have been asking about your presence in this country concerning the Tippex elections. You were just Idle, mouth agape, hands akimbo and neck adestinate looking at the issue from the corner. Why didn’t you see the disaster before it struck? You are just laughable, naive, senseless, obtuse, witless, moronic and dopey creatures. Please remain in your sleep mode.

  4. Ngati kuli anthu akuba ndi amenewa …they kill ..amasunga zithumwa kukhwimila azibale awo at I milandu asaluze idiots mbuzi zama lawyers

  5. It’s unfortunate that Law society is headed by cadets,the president Burton Mhango is a brother to DPP legal advisor,Charles Mhango;society is serving party interest.Its high time they pull out of election case.This is the time We miss leadership of people like Mwankhwawa,Mambulasa & Suz Banda.This current president has been raised by DPP legal advisor,and worked at his firm for sometime,he should not fool Malawians.

  6. Malawi Law Society?
    Please school me. Isn’t this the same body that represents our learned lawyers?

    IBAM? Since when are they property valuers?

    Cadets, you will be fished out of any organisation by the demonstrations. Mudziwika

  7. The Malawi Law Society is the most useless body in Malawi ndiye bolanso fake NGO yosapota Mutharika ija amati FOND.

    Maloya chomwe amatha ndi kuba ndi uhule basi, amuna ndi akazi omwe! Fokofu!

  8. MLS sober up dont dare to listen to your head of state who dont have full mandate to rule Malawi lure you into unlawful arrests of our HRDC Leaders coz you shall regret that move the rest of your lifetime as the worst move in a game coz Malawi shall be on fire left right.

  9. When Blantyre City Assembly has tried to stop demos, courts have given ago ahead for demos.

  10. That’s the way to go. Only those who are not in business can protest against the move by MLS. It is because they dont know the pain of losing a business or having your vision destroyed. Its just a matter of time HRDC will be pinned to the wall . They are closing in on you. HRDC will shed tears of a crocodile and all of you social media commentators who condon acts of violence and vandalism will mourn for them .They think they are too clever.

    1. This is 2019 my friend. It is not 1968 when the President would dictate the outcome of any and all issues. We all want to live a good life. But if you are caught with tippex – Shauri yako!

    2. I have never seen a tangible comments from you apart from stupid comments.I normal and a well educated person can not support what happen on 21 May 2019,but it takes fools like you to do so.We are not in a zinjatholopus days we are in a democracy era and that means the will of the people shall govern not like what Jane Ansah and DPP did.So stop fooling yourself with your brainless mind of thinking.

  11. MLS, please do not put yourself into this embarrassment because of your love for money. does IBAM have the capability to do such an evaluation? Moreover, in which country have you heard of such an evaluation during political violence or demonstrations?

  12. Thats for ECAMA to find out. Yours is to look at the legal issues. Osamaphangira ma cadet inu.

    1. That’s what happens when you are part of crooked, your mind is obscured. Failing to know “malire”, jurisdiction, mandate, kkkk
      That is why people start stealing state coffers, maganizo osadzipatsa malire.

  13. Anamachwnde kasukeni mbolo zagagazo uko! Misatinyase ndipo musatikwiyise!! Tiotcha tinyumba nanuto mwamva agalu ini. Stupid DPP cadets

  14. Malawi Law Society? IBAM? Am I missing something here? MLS what mandate and interest do you have in this? Chonchi you are supposed to be the legal representatives of the people of Malawi, bullshit!!! Ngati mwadya kale ndalama kabwezeni mwauponda! IBAM are now social and economic evaluators????? Kkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!! People do you know kuti the IBAM man is one of the biggest beneficiary of DPP ndiponso abale mbuli, doubtful if he even has JC. What can he tell anyone? Inu musatengele a Malawi kumtodzo mwamva….

    1. MLS you are missing out on your roles as legal team. Malawi is in the middle of tension and you bring in more contentious issue of IBAM to evaluate cost of damage caused by demonstrations. You will shortly bring this country into terrible war for igniting IBAM with pangs to fight back demonstrators.
