Onjezani Kenani Writes: CSOs Call for Inquiry into Corruption Allegations Against Justice Ken Manda and Push for Reform – “We’re Fixing This Country”

By Burnett Munthali

In his latest piece, social commentator and writer Onjezani Kenani has shed light on growing calls from Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) for an inquiry into allegations of corruption against Justice Ken Manda and other judicial officers. The allegations, initially raised by Alex, have sparked outrage among activists, prompting demands for an investigation and sweeping reforms within Malawi’s judicial system.

Kenani, known for his bold takes on governance and justice, highlighted that the CSOs are not only focusing on the specific accusations but are also calling for broader institutional reform. “We cannot fix this country without addressing corruption in all its forms, especially within the judiciary,” one CSO representative reportedly stated, echoing the sentiment of many.

The allegations against Justice Manda, though yet to be fully substantiated, have led to widespread debate about the integrity of Malawi’s judicial system. Corruption within the judiciary has long been a contentious issue, and the accusations have revived calls for an overhaul to restore public confidence.

Kenani’s article emphasizes the need for accountability, quoting various civil society leaders who believe that an inquiry is the first step towards addressing deeper systemic issues. “The judiciary is supposed to be the last hope for justice, but when it becomes tainted by corruption, the entire nation suffers,” Kenani writes.

The CSOs are also pushing for judicial reforms aimed at enhancing transparency, accountability, and efficiency. This includes the implementation of stricter oversight mechanisms, a review of judicial appointments, and the establishment of a more transparent process for dealing with allegations of misconduct.

Kenani’s conclusion captures the growing sense of urgency among activists: “We’re fixing this country,” a phrase now widely used by CSOs in their campaign for reform. It reflects the determination of civil society to root out corruption and rebuild Malawi’s institutions from the ground up.

As the nation awaits official responses from the judiciary and the government, Kenani’s article stands as a clarion call for action, urging Malawians to demand accountability from their leaders and institutions. Whether or not this leads to the kind of sweeping reforms envisioned by the CSOs remains to be seen, but the momentum for change is undeniable.
