Malawi President Lazarus Chakwera has challenged recent direction by High Court Judge Jack Nriva that he should formally employ Linda Kunje and Jean Mathanga as Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) Commissioners.
Ministry of Justice Spokesperson, Pilirani Masanjala confirmed the development in an interview with MIJ Online on Saturday.
High Court Judge Nriva ordered President Chakwera to formally employ the two commissioners and pay them their salary arrears with interest for the months they spent without pay.
