Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>The Malawi High Court in Lilongwe on Friday February 11, 2022 set February 23 for the hearing of judicial review of Ombudsman\u2019s ruling on Henry Kachaje\u2019s recruitment as Malawi Energy Regulatory Authority\u2019s (MERA) Chief Executive Officer.<\/p>\n

A can of worms opened when aspirant for the CEO position Richard Chapweteka sought solace from the Ombudsman claiming that he was the successful applicant not Kachaje.<\/p>\n

According to Chapweteka, the then Chairman of MERA board of directors, Pempho Likongwe disclosed to him before the interview results were communicated.<\/p>\n

Kachaje was accused of lacking enough qualifications for the post as it transpired that he did not have a Master\u2019s Degree at the time he was attending interviews for the position.<\/p>\n

The Ombudsman Grace Malera, was set to make a briefing on Kachaje\u2019s appointment last year before MERA obtained an injunction restraining Ombudsman from releasing a report on the dubious appointment of Henry Kachaje as Chief Executive Officer of the state owned company.<\/p>\n

The court is expected to review the ruling on the alleged dubious appointment of Henry Kachaje as Chief Executive Officer of MERA on 23 February, months after the postponement of the case.<\/p>\n
