These judiciary staff never striked when their fellow civil servants used to get only 60% of their (judiciaries) salaries. Let me concur with a certain commentator here, the Judiciary more especially in this country where justice is circumvated, is the most useless of all branches of govt, more of a liability than anything else in govt…
If I were Mr. President, I could have told them they must either resume work or simply resign…Shupiti!

Had it not been for the human right cries, govt can afford even for a year without these selfish crooked uncivil servants!!!

I am surprised with some of the comments attacking the striking court staff on the basis that they receive higher salaries than the other civil servants. This is a hopeless and ill-informed positiom. It is obvious that Peter Mutharika and Goodall Gondwe made a serious mistake by not increasing the salaries for court staff. If I may ask what is their reason? The strike by court staff is legitimate. The fact that salaries for court staff are higher than other civil servants cannot be a valid reason for not increasing court staff salaries. Is Goodall Gondwe losing his grip? I… Read more »

Govt should not succumb to their demands!! Is judiciary a money making govt entity that they have seen that they have made more profits for the govt? Judiciary is the worst performer in all govt depts. You take ages concluding a simple & straight forward case. Your education is not benefiting this country but rather your bellies!!! If you don’t want the current salary, you better resign and open up your magistrate court somewhere!! After all, you got clients at your disposal!!!! We know you are being sent by these northern judges so that Prof. Peter should be seen as… Read more »

If there is a very useless, senseless, unproductive & inconsiderate arm of govt, yet with highly educated dogs, then it’s judiciary. Each and every year it wants to give govt headache for nothing! If you go in their offices and find out what each staff has done per day, you will be surprised to note they had absolutely done nothing!!! They spend the whole day playing games on their computers, knocking off, then cry for high salaries at the end of the month! It’s high time govt came up with performance appraisal for each civil servant lest others are riding… Read more »

Very true, i agree with you. So why do they demand high perks each year?

If I were a president, I would be paying more monies to ministry of health, ministry of education & ministry of home affairs in that order. These are the only govt personnel who work tirelessly around the clock to make govt business tick!! Other depts are just passengers & parasites in govt coffers.

I hope Ma INGOs will also join soon. Sinanga Dollar yatsetseleka kwambiri ndiyenso salary zawo zapanga devalued. Waiting which one to be proactive. Let the dance begin as we all dance to the tune of strike and devaluation of kwacha. And it is making sense, when kwacha loses value why is it that employers become adamant in automatic adjustment of salaries as MERA does with Fuel? MERA principle should apply here.
