1. plesdent wakale wa SA siemwe anasokoneza nao za cisankhoyo???? azatani ma lawyers ndiye?
   mw lawyers pls awa ngati abwerer not to work from our courts, ndi misonkho yathutu. mwauuziletu.
   milanduyo azikakambila ku ndata not in our buildings okkkkkkhhhhyyyyyy

2. MBUZI ZINA MKUMATI ife a business ma business sakuyenda chifukwa cha ma Demo. Can’t you think of how this Satanic government is sacking your little earnings through taxes. Mavuto ali ma boarder umu. Munthu kuvutika wekha ndalama kumangothera ku boma. Nde mukuti atakupangireni voice out ndindani. This stupid government amakonda mbuli ngati inu.

3. Ma South African lawyers have ripped big without sweat kikikikikikikikikik

4. Mlandu wake uti,???? the same one which has been thrown out by the Supreme Court??? adya zaulere ma Lawyers kikikikikikikik

5. All Peter Mutharika and Jane Ansah wants is to cover all their dirty stuff from the tippex election. And if they win the case wide open their mouths lying that the international lawyers said it that tippex election was credible and fair. While it’s people’s taxi money wounding there pains.ෆ╹ .̮ ╹ෆ

6. A national disgrace. They must be held to account. Irresponsible use of public funds.

7. Not surprised. Chokhotho is not good. We know him from way back in School. He was outwitted by many other smarter guys.

8. Why are people complaining? ConCourt judges told us that no-one should complain about state money being paid or used to achieve justice and democracy.

   1. May your family suffer from luck of medicines in the hospital only then you will learn what taxpayers money is meant for!

   2. Yes but this is state money to serve the interest of the under performing MEC and not the issue of the Malawians. The nullification and their removal will give all Malawians to decided as a nation and will be inlcusive

   3. pano mwaona Nyekhwe!!!!!

9. We are going to spend billions on elections. It’s better to get a foreign lawyer at that high amount to save us from spending so much money on a USELESS re-run.

   1. For whose benefit nanunso?

10. DO NOT complain about MEC hiring foreign lawyers. our judges said we should not complain about money because it is government money. MEC entitled even to get a lawyer from the USA. That is what justice is about. Like democracy, it is EXPENSIVE.

    1. Did they say we should import people from theba

11. Do we have credible Lawyers in Malawi? The ones we have are just good at squidling their clients money. we have more of such cases.

    1. What does squidling mean??? or do you mean swindling??? Eh! our education standards have really gone down!!!

       1. KIKIKIKIKKII sukulu yophunzira pansi p mtengo

12. All legal costs arising from the May 21 2019 will be recovered from the Commissioners and top management of MEC in addition to criminal charges that will be levelled against these satanists so that they spend the rest of their lives in jail.

13. a stupid and clueless old man clinging to power in a poor country where it is clear that the majority do not want him!!!

    1. Very good point.

       He is unwanted goods and most people would love to see this old man and his stupid, heartless followers gone for good.

       1. Exclude me

    2. You are a foolish, and stupid liar, it’s only you and a minority who say that.

14. DPP is the worst government ever ruled Malawi since the creation of this nation. I am very surprised when I see some misguided people defending this government. Malawi is a hopeless nation where some people blindly support those who are responsible for their suffering, agony and misery. This nonsense by MEC must be stopped immediately and this Jezabel must be removed from power.

    1. Kkkkkkk komatu amalawi asiyeni awa mwachita kuwashosha you forgot they have fingerprint to account number one tiyenazoni

    2. exactly sometimes i wonder if cadets have brains

15. The elections are in two months, why wasting such an amount? I thought MEC said there’s no money for elections but there’s money for useless lawyers?

    1. No money for elections and money for the legal battles yes these are different costs

16. So our Judges sc can sink to those Lawyers who have stolen $800? Is a judge paid that much?
    Show these lawyers a red card and let them be finished with costs together with who employed them and spend all that money in hotels. Can our Judges be dull and SA Lawyers be clever and you think our 5 Judges were stupid to come up with that Judgement? Silly all of you. KUBA KUBA MEC MULIRA .

    1. Hahaha Tamboni mwaima tione kuti zitani everything is in order here let’s talk little and wait for the outcome

17. Up wake Malawi does not know Reserve Bank of Malawi. Do you know that RBM = DPP ? Several monenies have been taken from the branch since the torchbearer there comes from Thyolo and the Financier is from Mulanje.

    1. Zilibe ntchito bola chilungamo chioneke that’s democracy pasapezeke okuwa Cox now it’s the other side s turn

18. Will MEC and DPP be allowed to hire judges from outside Malawi since they have already protested in the streets against the Malawi judiciary? All the lawyers and judges from outside need is a lot of money!! That’s all.

19. I don’t think the UK and EU, who have undertaken to fund to fund the forthcoming election, will be amused to learn that MEC, which only yesterday was bemoaning lack of funds, is being extravagant squandering taxpayers money hiring foreign lawyers for a job local ones can ably do.

    And isn’t this a slap in the face of local legal experts?

    1. Have you forgotten that ConCourt judges said we should not worry about money because it is coming from the state. So, don’t complain.

       1. They did not say it is coming from state by tax payers and the same tax payers wants justice but in these who is benefitting is not selfishness of mec and Dpp

    2. They have proved to be lacking and then s is what follow.

20. This is just a waste of money, this money have to be used in managing the forthcoming presidential election, they have indicated that they don’t have money so where is this K500 million coming from? from the same poor Malawians who are tired of poverty? please do not allow this to pass as this is wrong.

    1. It’s different money man .

21. Letter to Opposition Parties and HRDC please question if the Reserve Bank of Malawi Regulations permit payment of legal fees to attorneys outside Malawi and not registered to practice in Malawi. You will find NOT. Also please question if parliament has appropriated in the Budget the amount MEC is corruptly paying to a law firm in South Africa. You will find NOT

    1. Exactly. That’s another area the courts should look at.

22. So, SA lawyers are more powerful than our own lawyers? Ma lawyer a kumalawi PANJA peni peni
    $788.5 Million kwacha ?to be paid by us (taxpayers money)? South Africans wapeza business. WE HAVE NO INTELLIGENT LAWYERS IN MALAWI and Judges mwagwidwa MANTHA? ZIBWANA ZENI ZENI.Mwanaveka said there is no money for fresh elections what about $800m Peter is payingthe SA Lawyers. A kaukonde kaukonde do you know you will have no job in mw. Surely those lawyers will employ you.

23. Cadet can one of you try to justify this trash of relieving us of money for medicine in the hospitals and alleviation of hunger in our country in order to cover up “gross inconsistency in MEC management of results, paja chilichonse mumati nchabwino,

24. Oh! my God!! This MEC should Go asap before causing more damage to our nation. Why drain Scarce Forex??? If they know they are incompetent Why appeal ?? and then hire amateur foreigners??? Is this not another way of stealing our Taxes???? South Africans Lawyers started practicing Law from 1993 (after independence) how can they be better than our own SCs?? Can these SA amateurs convince our Prominent Appeal Court Justices?? How were these SA lawyers identified and selected???? The whole process is flawed!!!! THIEVES!!!!

    1. Hahahaha njenjenje kunjenjemela

25. Tax payers money to defend a sin? Really. This stupidity must be stopped. Anthu oipa. Importing coronavirus into our country. Wind of change is here to stay .You can try to do whatever but God is with malawians. You are cursed evil creatures

26. When the country’s priorities are in a mess.

27. There are reputable law firms here in South Africa to choose from. I wonder on what basis a firm that was only incorporated in 2015 and has a non-functioning website was retained and whether it can offer MEC top drawer service. I would like to believe that due process was followed in retaining this law firm not that Jane Ansah just told the other commissioners that guys we have retained a South African law firm to assist us. By the way, did Jane say they are short of funds to conduct a rerun? Where then did the money to retain the lawyers come from?

    1. Which law firm has a website in Malawi?

       1. Eya ndiuzeni anzanga which one can host a website inu inu.

28. Legal fundis out there. Can’t we, as tax payers and concerned citizens, take the MEC to court for abuse of public funds. The MK500,000,000 would better be spent buying medicines and/or maize for our people. Let’s be honest with ourselves guys, these people don’t think about us, at all.

    1. Munaiwala kuti mec simunthu kkkkkkk zikuchitika and very fast kkkkkk

29. Devilish, u never escape

    1. Zoona a Mtondoli Janazi anzathu a ACB aguire ntchito yawo apa wapanga authorize tax payers money ndi ndani. no doubt it must be APM.

30. Devilish, u never escape the wrath of God

31. This goverment of DPP /UDF is the worst ever they only think of their bellies not the poor people on Malawi. MEC is saying they can’t manage to get the money for the fresh election yet yet hiring the south Africans lawyers with the huge money like this coz of greedy. If you see people going to streets marching agains your government and MEC then you call them names to deal with them shame . May good God hear the cry of the nation Malawi.

    1. Ankolo musavutike kunena za GOd apa this is better than the killings your nsundwe gules have done ndipo simunati zioneka

32. Rubbish!!!!!! Why hiring foreign lawyers to oppress Malawians? DPP & MEC, to hail with your plans, we don’t want you in Malawi. Enough is enough, Malawians are suffering in rural areas because of you. We shall not tolerate that as a nation, Malawi.

    1. Bodza ili which malawians are suffering and which rural areas are u talking about?

33. This is best madness of the MEC. Malawians are tired of this stupidity and nonsensical. What difference will it make if not more shame and waist of tax payers’ money yet people in the villages are dying with hunger, no medicine in the hospitals and all roads are in a bad shape the whole country while you are busy serving your personal interests.

    1. So u wanted silence from government side kuti mbava za kwa nsundwe zilande this legitimate government

34. SHAME

35. MEC told us they do have money for fresh elections, so they have money to pay foreign lawyers?. After all, have they already paid the legal costs to UTM and MCP?
    I dont know why Malawians are still keeping this animal called Jane Ansah

36. Let money be spent, that is democracy

    1. idiotic mind,from an idiot animal

37. There is nothing worth clinging to when the majority of people are clearly indicating that they have no confidence in you.
    Waste of tax payer money. Didn’t you say there was no money for fresh elections. Speaking for myself, I say goodbye
    real fast when I know I am not wanted.

38. musatithere nndalama za misonkho yatgu anamaceende inu

39. This just shows thst these greedy people were bribed and tgey will do anything. Am sure behind the scene they are being threatened to sort it out as tgey received all the money.

    Musova nokha.

    1. When God is angry,this is what happens you will spend bigger monies to save youreselves but alas i will be in vein,you can not work minus God ,never nothing will work,mark my words.

40. MEC Commissioners and MEC Management will be taken to court for crime offence against Malawians and be personally liable for all the tax payers money paid out during this election case including the cost of the said hired foreign lawyers.

41. tones tizafabe basi 500million for regal fees for government greed. Yet people are dying in the government hospitals lacking proper medication just imagine how many sick people can benefit from this cash …how many lives can be saved..

    1. Osanena za omwe akuchila bwanji ungonena za omwalila kkkkkkk

42. This is like living a nightmare, the sooner these thieves go the better. I hope the incoming government recoup all this money from these fools by selling their property, after all its all our money. How can a sane man who lived in the US, the richest country in the world, as a simple person with not much wealth become filthy rich on the backs of the poorest people in the world in Malawi. What an embarrassment to the human race

43. Jane Ansah for president.

44. It’s full of nonsense how can they spend such kind of money while our country there is no food,electricity,medicine even education is low now a days.

45. Zomvetsa chisoni kwambiri malawi akupita kuti kuwononga 500millions kwacha mudziko muli njala magetsi mulibe mkumati tikagula ma lawyer kwina agogo wanona bwanji udindo achina Dausi akupusitsani ndithu mudalitu abwino

    1. Zonsezo chiyambi ndi peterand jane

46. This is absolutely disgusting action, how can they even justify this spending amount of money on something that has already been proven to have been a SCUM Elections officiated by these Losers! Please People let’s not give up to Demand for Accountability from this old man and his acquaintance J. Ansah.

47. MEC digging their own grave. So you mean the Supreme Court will allow their sibling to be embarrassed just because you brought in foreigners? You mean it’s South African’s who can see better what happened in Malawi during 2019 elections? Where have you learned people thrown your brains? I thought corruption was something simple until I saw all brains drained from those who were once wise

    1. Kamuzu hired foreign lawyers for his diffence on the murder case of his cabinet ministers : matenje, chiwanga, sangala and gadama.

       1. he paid from his pocket , what are talking about ! go to court records are there

       2. nanu inu tym imene ija kunali democracy?ndekuti inu simukuwonapo vuto?ndinu womvetsa chisoni mwamva?

48. They should make sure they hire supreme courts judges from South Africa as well. A bakha atha nzeru. What a reckless and senseless govt.

49. Foseki
    Shit government you are stealing money from our tax money. No Medicine in government hospitals. Most of the medical equipment are not working.
    May you go to hell

    1. Nde umazayankhula chonchi nkupeza kwanu kulibe olo nyumba ya malata

    2. And yet billions are spent on elections.

50. All this constitutional mess brought upon Malawi by one old man who is past his sell-by date.

    1. You can that again. Not, even his children live in this country

    2. zomvetsa chisoni, spending all that money when people have no food, bushiri is the one helping poor people access affordable maize. unbelievable.

       1. Kodi inu mukuti chani! Chilima wanuyo ndi yemwe akuononga ndalama, akungolandira salary plus ma benefits mbwee, koma munthu sakugwira ntchito. Why are you not talking about him! Agalu inu!

       2. Rubbish has Bushiri ever fed all Malawians including you?

       3. Pepani a Malawi anzanga si MEC imeneyitu koma a agogo APM ndi amene achita hire.

       4. Bushiri – Mtumbuka mbwenumbwenu feeding Lhomwes & Yaos kkkkkkkkk, when Peter is busy stealing our Taxes, can’t even let Admarc and NFRA buy maize for poor Malawians. Atupele busy exporting masks to China instead of donating to hospitals in Malawi.

          1. That’s why I’m scared to come back and settle there especially after reading all this crap

       5. I we nawe not just mind your business which bushiri and which maize do we only live on maize it’s time the history of Malawi politics get to be revitalize d let’s spend the money and then uproot the real evils
