The Legal Affairs Committee of Parliament has announced that it has officially launched an inquiry into allegations of corruption and other malpractices against High Court Judge Ken Manda. The investigation comes after concerns were raised regarding Judge Manda’s involvement in corrupt dealings, casting doubt on his integrity as a judicial officer.
Peter Dimba, Chairperson of the committee, confirmed the development in an interview with Zodiak Online earlier today. Dimba revealed that committee members held a meeting in Lilongwe, where they made the decision to begin the inquiry.
The inquiry will involve consultations with key stakeholders, including the Malawi Law Society (MLS) and lawyer Alexious Kamangila, who has been vocal in exposing corruption within the judiciary. According to Dimba, if the committee finds the allegations to be credible, it will recommend that Parliament impeach Justice Manda.

“This is a serious matter, and we are committed to ensuring a thorough investigation,” Dimba said. “If the evidence supports the accusations, we will not hesitate to take the necessary steps, including recommending the impeachment of Justice Manda.”
The inquiry is seen as part of broader efforts to maintain transparency and accountability within Malawi’s judiciary. The outcome of this investigation could have significant implications for the justice system and public confidence in its integrity. The Legal Affairs Committee has pledged to carry out the process transparently and in accordance with the law.
