Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Malawians have opposed the Tonse Alliance administration\u2019s proposal to increase the retirement age of judges in Malawi from 65 to 70. The Lazarus Chakwera administration wants to table the Courts Act Amendment Bill in Parliament which will increase the retirement age of judges. This news has been met by a lot of disapproval from most Malawians who think the decision is not right and not ideal.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdding 5 years to the corrupt Judges is not Ideal. The only way to terminate immoral corrupt practices for our judges is to reduce retirement age. Justice can never be enhanced by someone\u2019s age other than finding new tricks of corruption,\u201d said one commenter on a Malawi24 Facebook post.<\/p>\n

Other commenters argued adding the 5 years to judges\u2019 retirement is ridiculous since they will not be employed as old people will continue to occupy. \u201cHow will the young people be employed? If retirement will be at 70 years while the youths are graduating from university with no employment opportunities because you still occupy the seats waiting for clocking for 70 years,\u201c says another commentator on a Facebook post<\/p>\n

Some Malawians think the proposal ai aimed at protecting some people in the government. \u201cSomeone in the government is being protected here, he\u2019s about to retire and government still need him and they decided to increase retirement period,\u201d one person.<\/p>\n
