MLS faults Mutharika for continued attacks on judiciary

The Malawi Law Society (MLS) has faulted President Peter Mutharika for his continued attacks on the judiciary.

MLS president Burton Mhango and honorary secretary Martha Kaukonde have co-signed a statement expressing discontent with the manner and forum the State President has used to express his dissatisfaction with high court judges after they nullified the May 21 2019 presidential election.

Mutharika yesterday continued his relentless attacks on the judiciary when addressing his supporters in Thyolo.

Since the election was nullified on February 3, officials from the DPP have been attacking the judicial system. The governing party earlier organised demonstrations against the Constitutional Court after it nullified Mutharika's contested victory in the presidential election.
