This follows the total shut down of the Judiciary system after judges and magistrates in the counnry have joined the ongoing strike by supporting staff in the judiciary which started several weeks ago
The Judiciary support staff
members have been on strike for several weeks demanding that government implements
conditions of service approved by
National Assembly in 2006, however government
has described the strike as illegal.
Several Magistrates said on
Monday that they have decided to take advantage of the junior staff strike to
voice out their concerns as well. “We are treated as dogs.
One of the countries top lawyers, Wapona Kita, confirmed the development on his
facebook page saying “Its now
official, the honorable Judges and Magistrates are on strike”.
Some angry facebook users
have described government as “stupid” for failing to resolve the matter.
What we don't know is whether
government is working on a solution to end
the strike but what we know is that suspects who are in police custody, prisons and other Malawians are denied their right to
access justice from the court.
