Malawi: No end in sight to judiciary strike

The Malawi Law Society (MLS) has said it sees no end in sight to the judiciary strike which has paralysed the country’s justice delivery system for six weeks now. MLS president John-Gift Mwakhwawa said lawyers are yet to be briefed on the outcome of a recent between government and the judiciary. 'What is at stake in not just our right to economic activity, but the suspension of people’s rights. It also compromises the independence and impartiality of the Judiciary if it is literally going to beg for an increment.'
