Minister of Justice and Constitutional Affairs Titus Mvalo has been dragged into the debate on corruption in the judiciary.
Mvalo, in one of the groups created to support lawyer Alexious Kamangila’s anti-corruption crusade, had to come to the rescue of some judges whose names were included on a list of those suspected to be involved in corruption.
Said Mvalo: “I have seen a list here of judges alleged to be corrupt which includes the two lady Justices of Appeal in the Supreme Court of Appeal, Nyakaunda Kamanga and Ivy Kamanga. I would ask that these should be removed from the list. It’s a mistake to include them on such a list because they definitely are not corrupt, and even the whistleblower, Kamangila, specifically singled them out as not corrupt”.
Such is the momentum of the Kamangila’s initiative drive as it has generated heated discussion in WhatsApp groups with a focus to deal with endemic corruption in Malawi.
