Herbert Chimulirenji who lost his short lived VEEP position after the Five ConCourt judges nullified his election has not been left in the wilderness by his boss Malawi President peter Mutharika. he has been since assigned a cabinet post taken out of the helm of The Vice Presidency of the republic of Malawi.
Hon. Everton Herbert Chimulirenji was on Monday sworn in as Minister Responsible for Disaster Management Affairs and Public Events.
In a ruling that by day appears to lose support and appears more and more partisan Herbert Chimulirenji lost his Vice Presidency as it reverted back to Saulos chilima.
Peter Mutharika promised that the judgement was not the end of litigation process in the May 21 elections case. Malawi is a country of laws. As a lawful nation, there remains a number of laws and legal processes and procedures provided in our Constitution to regulate how we conduct ourselves to resolve our situation.
The most important thing is that we must preserve our constitutional order and ensure that Malawi continues to be stable and peaceful.
The judges in their offensive reading of the judgement showed their bias and prejudgment of the case. It was rather strange that the judges felt the need to insult a Supreme Court judge, Justice Jane Ansah – calling her incompetent. It was the same “incompetent” MEC and Jane Ansah who presided over the Parliamentary elections that saw about 193 MPs put in office.
The judiciary cannot instruct nor prescribe to Parliament on what laws should be passed. Parliamentarians are elected by the voters to make laws — not judges. Parliamentarians do not report to the courts, but the electorate.
There was a complete misrepresentation of the electoral systems by the judges.
