Africa-Press – Malawi. The Industrial Relations Court in Lilongwe has on Friday February 11, 2022 thrown out an application by Alexander Kusamba Dzonzi to stop the appointment of Kamkwamba Kumwenda as Electricity Supplier Corporation of Malawi (ESCOM)’s the Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
Kusamba Dzonzi claimed that he had emerged top on the list of interviewees whilst Kumwenda was second. Court documents signed by Deputy Chairperson of the Court, Howard Pemba indicate that there was need for a judicial review at the High Court while dismissing the application saying the matter does not fall under the lower court’s jurisdiction.
The decision adds that even if the Court was to have the jurisdiction over the matter there was no evident that Kusamba Dzonzi indeed emerged on top during the interview.
Chairperson of the Public Appointments Committee of Parliament (PAC) Joyce Chitsulo said that given that there are disputes on the appointment of parastatal executives their committee could ably handle that.
