Malawi judicial integrity under scrutiny following corruption allegations

Date: Nov 21, 2024

The integrity of Malawi's judicial system is currently under intense examination as the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) investigates claims of widespread corruption among the nation's judges and court officials.

The allegations, brought to light by Malawian lawyer Alexious Kamangila through social media channels in October, have sparked a national debate on judicial conduct and accountability.

Attorney General Thabo Chakaka Nyirenda finds himself at the centre of controversy, with Kamangila advocating for his investigation and subsequent arrest on charges of corruption.

Kamangila's assertions challenge the lack of pressure on those accused of corrupt practices, suggesting that recent cases have raised suspicions due to their questionable outcomes.

Kamangila argues that the fight against corruption does not always require hard evidence for convictions, stating, "Circumstantial evidence is enough."

This statement has intensified discussions on the evidentiary standards in corruption cases within Malawi and across Africa.
