This is a comprehensive clarification and I would like to recommend if the Faculty of Law at Chanco can spare space for the Attorney General to study law again. I laughed when he said the court has no jurisdiction when the supreme law of Malawi grant unlimited jurisdiction to the High Court and Supreme Court of Malawi under section 108.

It will be important for the AG to revisit his legal knowledge with support from Best Constitutional law lecturers at Chanco including the write of this article. They can offer their assistance at a reasonable cost.

One thing I hate about Law scholars/ Practitioners is their Head gear (especially the one with curls), it symbolises an ‘Old white man’ and yet these Black Homo sapiens seems to be proud to wear this sisal gear. It’s like they’re saying only ‘ White People’ are Intelligent especially when they call themselves ‘learned people’ – Hey, if you are learned then surely you should know that if you are black you’ll never be white and likewise the reverse is true.

Madise, thank you for the clarification.

To me, Dr. Chaponda was supposed to be arrested for contempt of court. He was and is carrying out his duties soon after the injunction of restraining him from duties. This must be enforced.

The Judge acted in ultra vires and above the law. The DPP MPs should adopt
section 119 subsections 2,3 and 4 to remove the Judge and teach him lessons
that poking the nose of the executive is not as easy as one thinks. Please seek
Attorney General and Solicitor General’ views on how to proceed. Mzuzu Court
must learn manners.

Pepa Denius the Genius – It is the Malawi Constitution. Parliament has powers
with approval of President to remove/fire a Judge. DPP and UDF have the
muscles to do this. Section 119 subsections 2,3 and 4 of the Constitution
Woyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Booooomaaaaaaaaaa!
