This is interesting!! Obviously, Dr Chikosa Silungwe is undeniably one of the paragons of the law in Malawi. We all can see the evidence from the advice that he gave Chakwera that he new what he was talking about. True to his advice, the court saw a discrepancy between Chakwera’s presidency and the constitution and has since certified and ordered a constitutional review.
Looking at the way section 75 of the constitution is worded, it is clear that the only way to restore constitutional order is to have fresh elections. This wouldn’t have happened if Chakwera had listened to Dr Silungwe.
Put that thought aside for a minute and ask ourselves as to how Chakwera would refuse this great advice from Antanga and actually unceremoniously fire him from the AG position?
Some would say kukula mtima, others would say kulodzedwa kapena tsoka.
However, unbeknownst to many, especially those not on social media is an MCP social media lawyer, christened Bush lawyer, Lord Denning QB. He surprised many with his unrelenting vitriol directed at Dr Chikosa Silungwe and his haphazard legal opinion to outsmart the then AG.
Any keen observer can see from the pattern of events that Mkaka and Chakwera were massively influenced by the Bush Lawyer to disregard and dismiss Dr Chikosa Silungwe’s advice. Looking at Chakwera’s heart, the Bush lawyer’s opinion was compelling.
The result is that Chakwera has now obtained a judgment that validates the unconstitutionality of the commission that made him president. We are now faced with a situation where the Bush Lawyer’s legal opinions have got be weighed against the constitution in court.
So far, from event we have seen, Dr Chikosa Silungwe, Judge Madise and the chief Justice have found the Bush Lawyer wanting. Now, we have 5 Judges whom we are calling Destiny Judges to direct the nation on whether to live by the Bush Lawyer’s legal opinion or constitution order.
Interesting days ahead of us people!! Get some popcorn 
Analysis with blue mind. Za ziiiiii
Ukalodzedwa sununkha tsoka
Dr. Silungwe Chikosa is a respected learned lawyer whose duty was to professionally and expertly direct and advise the President. He is not amongst the wannabes in law we usually meet in the streets of Malawi soliciting victims who are looking for legal representation only to dupe the unsuspecting Malawians. Dr. Silungwe got his Doctorate from a reputable university in the UK (Warwick University), which is among the top 5 unis in the country and possibly among the top 10 in the world. Chakwera should have learnt from experience and indeed living memory, when he (the ex-AG) expertly assisted him and his vice to win a constitutional case of its kind in the country. Certainly, Chakwera was cheated by the so called Bush lawyers, who apparently are the same ones who cheated and misled the Nsundwe purported rape case players. Chakwera and MCP seem to have shot themselves in the foot by toying with a weapon they didn’t have knowledge of how it should be handled. Whether Chakwera and his goons win/lose, history in the making is yet to unfold.
