The High Court in Lilongwe has ruled in favour of 53 police officers who sued their employer for failure to promote them after upgrading academically.

The graduate officers were demanding promotions and a pay rise backdated to November 1 2017.

In his ruling dated February 8, 2022 Justice Kenyatta Nyirenda has ordered that the Malawi Police Service should increase salaries for the concerned officers by two steps and pay arrears of the difference between the new salary and the old one from November 2017.
