Time to clean the judiciary. Our courts have been Tumbukarised.
In terms of s111(2) of the Constitution of the Republic all other judges shall be appointed by the president on the recommendation of the Judicial Services Commission…can someone with info from a reliable source in the judiciary confirm please. We dont want a temporary president exercising powers for his personal benefit.
Nanunso aAPM ma decision mukumapanga mochedwa Njobvu zitaononga kale. Izizi mukanapanga mmbuyo muja like just after 2014 osati panopa – nde anthu azikutulukirani ma plan kaya. Tikanakhala enafe bwenzi kulibeko achina Mtambo aja koma anthu sakanaitulukira cuz timayamba anthu asanayambe kukuvuta.
We have had a good judiciary when it was headed by Justices Banda, Unyolo, Munlo, Makuta and Msosa. The current head has brought it to disrepute. Doesn’t he read the judgements for his inputs before each judge has effected them?
I am sure these new judges will teach the Hi5 judges on how to administer JUSTICE. I mean the JUSTICE which does not see the tribe, the region or the political affiliation of the person.
We are tired with the tumbuka infested kangaroo courts who are bent at nothing but to facilitate the entry of their fellows into government through backdoor. Mwachepa mafana, nkhanga zawona.
APM muwona naye nyekhweeee!
Kulira kwa Cadet

Mbuyanu is an idiot. He suffers from dementia
It is really shocking, to see so many Malawians, like this so-called wamuyaya, how backward they are. All they think is tribalism, and feel comforted if a Lomwe is elevated to a high position. This stupid mentality is the cause of entrenched mediocrity and underdevelopment in Malawi.
Exactly boss and numberyo wayichepetsa akanapanga appoint ma judge 10 including the post of chief justice. Enawa akuoneka kuti akula alamdile zawo akapume ngati abwana a ku MDF aja
Ndiwe galu kwwbasi
sometimes im wonder if some atolankhani at zodiak went to school, the president appointed new judges to fill the space that was was since 2019, hown can you say that he is doing that to beef up appeal case my footTTTTTTTTTTT, these are high court judge to supreme judge s Akazako, mudzikhala ngati ur a university person, mukutichitsa manyazitu, zoidiak broadcasting ya mbuli, kodi kulibe ma editors enieni, hedeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Usathe mau Kadeti iwe. Umadana ndi zodiac chifukwa imanena chilungamo kusiyan ndi DPP mouth piece called MBC yomwe iwe ngati cadet umakonda kumvera.
but the truth is that these judges can not handle issue ili ku supreme. awa ndi ma judge a ku high court not suprime then its difficult to understand the logic that they have been appointed to help them to case at suprime.
MBC=Mapwiya Brutal Cadets

Who is fooling who. Angomvela advice from those close to him. Wa payoniya
Hahahah even if u appoint all Lomwes in all position but still u won’t survive this Fresh Election Mr President.
We are the voters not these greedy people who don’t even know where we queue to vote.
Expect landslide for Chakwera and Chilima with no Tippex.
We don’t want Tippex president, Viva Malawi Viva.!!!!!!!!
Who, among them, is Lhomwe? Stop your bullshit hatred of tribes! This is despicable. You irk me to the bone!
Stop swearing
Go and mop the Lake if u are irked with your Gondolotsi. This is reality , the same tactic he is using to judiciary is the same way he did with military. So get angry u bullshit so called Suzgo Gondolotsi. Hiding behind Tumbuka name eti Suzgo while u are Gondolotsi tribe.
Koditu boma sititengela pa window chimenecho mudziwe.
Yes!!Bravo Apm, get rid of nepotism and Tumbuka courts. you can’t have the whole judiciary filled with Useless nepotistic TumbukA’s.Cleanse the judiciary sir.
The presidency is unnecessarily accorded with too much powers, our elders of prior 1994 democracy who framed the Constitution did foresee that some undemocratic, selfish, greedy, Nepostic, discriminatory individuals would occupy the office of the presidency and abuse the powers. To address the problem, these presidential powers must be trimmed down.
Good development. We are tired of seeing judges from Mzuzu Corner only – most of whom are biased, corrupt and hold pathological hatred towards government.
Why appoint Judges, change Army Commander, and transfer senior police officers when you Peter Mutharika are un elected President? Who is advising you to do this is it the man at BCA Hill? Who is the real power behind the man Mutharika. This is grabbing power. Mutharika has no intention whatsoever of giving up his stolen Presidency. And what can we do about it?
Kicks of a dying horse. You can try and mulakholize the country, but the end result remains the same, KUPAKIRA.
God bless intervene on Malawi, do not let Satan triumph over your poor people please
Bringing in some cadets as is the practice of DPP. You are destroying our society.
kuyesetsatu kusintha sintha komabe agogo nthawi yanu yatha dziko lakukanani
APM want to bolster his corrupt actions by appointing new judges. Achokabe basi
Jane Ansah for president.
Mutharika now qualified into a despot. Despots will capture all critical state institutions for very obvious reasons. Yesterday it was Immigration. Then came the police. Army followed. Now it’s the bench. His refusal to dissolve MEC only but confirms his intentions. Malawi will not be the same now going forward. We are back in the dark days of dictatorship. These DPP kleptomaniacs have looted government coffers with reckless abandon. Now they will not allow free and fair polls in the country. Malawians wake up. This dictatorship will be much more painful worse than Kamuzu’s one party era. The sad thing is that not even Bingu got to these levels of desperation to hold on to power. This has no equal.

Preparing to get favour from these corrupt Judges
Eiish, what a useless president we have. He is on a scorched earth strategy to hold on to power but it wont work. Nothing can save him now.
Kkkkkk wazungulira mutu Muntharika ndi fresh Election, kwasalaku apanga appoint so called professor Getrude Muntharika to be the Top prosecutor or Chief Justice to save him from his down fall .
But all in all Muntharika ali pa ulendo. Your target we know is at Chief Justice, the same way u did with Nundwe by playing around with his position till u removed him is the same way u are playing around with Chief Justice position.
Or u are trying to strategise that after the loss of fresh Election which is inevitable, u must challenge it to these Judges who will rule in favour of u like pay back time . But it won’t work
Mr president as the power of people will be in charge to defend their vote.
Even if it means taking our life then we will sacrify it for the betterment of our children.
atumbuka mwamuyamba dala Mutharika. brace for more appointments balancing up the north korea dominance
You are still going down mr. President. Even if you appoint everyone to be a judge. We are just tired of you and we want change……i repeat we want change. You should now go to the opposition bench. Thats all.
