By Fiona Manda and Pilirani Samson
Mzuzu, April 13, Mana: The Mzuzu High Court Tuesday nullified installation of Walter Mtima Gondwe as Paramount Chief Chikulamayembe in a case which Joseph Bongololo Gondwe claimed he was the rightful heir to the throne.
In his judgment, the high court judge, Thomson Ligowe said the appointment and installation of Mtima Gondwe was unlawful, unconstitutional, and procedurally unfair as he was not appointed by State President.
The court found that the appointment letter was not written by the President’s and had no signature as it is required by the law.
