Malawi Judiciary has appointed Justice Rezine Mzikamanda as acting Chief Justice following the retirement of Chief Justice Andrew Nyirenda, who has attained the mandatory retirement age of 65.
In a statement made available to the Publication, Registrar of High Court and Supreme Court Gladys Gondwe said the appointment of Justice Mzikamanda was with immediate effect.
According to Gondwe, Justice Mzikamanda will be in acting position until Malawi President Lazarus Chakwera appoints a successor.
Former President Peter Mutharika appointed Justice Nyirenda as Chief Justice on 12th March 2015.
Malawi laws are interesting. I thought the retirement age is 60. Other AGs were dismissed from representing cases in court while others have been allowed by the same malawi court. This is confusing and the intergrity of our courts and laws is questionable. Why always selective when applying these laws?
