Attorney General, Dr. Chikosa Silungwe, has written the Chairperson for the Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC), Dr. Chifundo Kachale, not to discharge any duties as there is no Electoral Commission according to the law.
In his legal advice to MEC, Dr. Silungwe says this follows the firing of two commissioners in the names of Jean Mathanga and Linda Kunje by President Lazarus Chakwera yesterday.
On Tuesday, April 13, 2021, Secretary to the President and Cabinet, Zangazanga Chikhosi, notified Kunje and Mathanga that their appointment as commissioners on June 7, 2020 has been rescinded.
Following this communication, Zodiak Online established that Dr. Kachale sought advice from the Attorney General on whether in accordance with section 75 (1) of the Constitution, the reduced composition of the Commission was adequate for purposes of discharging its functions or exercising its powers.
