Chakwera
The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Masauko Chamkakala has withdrawn all court cases against Anticorruption Bureau (ACB) Director General Martha Chizuma.
Chamkakala confirmed that he has taken the initiative after reviewing the cases, and that his decision is in line with President Lazarus Chakweras agenda to remove impediments that stand in the path of institutions like the ACB in the fight against corruption.
Chizuma was answering different charges bordering on conduct culpable of prejudicing court proceedings following a leaked audio in which she discussed ACBs investigations with a third party.
This means the duo Embassy UK and US fought a winning battle, whereas they releases sentimentsof which they aimed to pressurise the Malawi government to stop court proceedings against ACB boss Chizuma.
The two donor states describing the action as attempts to sand the fight against corruption in the country.
Meanwhile hours after President Chakwera directed the removal of Chizuma cases, a political activist Joshua Chisa Mbele writes on his Facebook page;
“Dear President Chakwera
Customary Salutations & All Protocols Observed. Ulemu wanu pamodzi ndi Madam First Lady.
Lets go straight to the point:
(1) Its extremely dangerous for the President of the Republic to allow anyone to use the Constitutional Powers of the President to obstruct justice and or undermine other organs of State.
Anyone shall mean friend, political crony, spouse kapena wapatchire or any ally in financial crimes.
(2) To regain the lost glory, you can now go the route of the Kenyan President. Go on the podium and say it publicly as follows;
(a) You will no longer allow any government department to drag another government department to court.
(b) Secondly, government will no longer arrest or drag any citizens for speaking their minds. You cant regulate peoples freedom of thought and or expression. Thats their fundamental right in a democracy.
(3) Do not use friends, relatives, church associates and or concubines as Advisors. You get blindsided.
(4) Dont cultivate and feed personal dislike or hatred against an individual under your Presidency. You are the 1st Citizen and everybody else is under you.
(5) Dont hide behind people when doing things. Learn from former US President Obama who said Good Policy is Good Politics. There will be no need to use small bushes to execute devious stratagems." Writes Mbele
Mbele's statements means, the state president has all legal powers to control external forces not to drag any department of government including those in helm of them to court.
That is a way forward!!
