Supreme Court Dismisses Attorney General’s Appeal in Charles Kalumo Case


By Burnett Munthali


In a significant legal development, the Supreme Court has rejected the Attorney General’s appeal against the nullification of Charles Kalumo’s appointment as Director General of the Department of Immigration. The Attorney General had sought a stay on the lower court’s decision pending a full hearing. This decision upholds the earlier ruling that invalidated Kalumo’s appointment, citing procedural irregularities and non-compliance with the stipulated appointment processes.

This ruling is expected to have broader implications for similar cases and may prompt a review of appointment processes within various government agencies to ensure compliance with legal standards.
