The High Court in Lilongwe has ordered former president Peter Mutharika and former Secretary to the President and Cabinet, Lloyd Muhara to
personally pay costs incurred in the Chief Justice case.
Justice Charles Mkandawire has ruled that the two should settle costs personally to the claimants, who are HRDC, Women Lawyers Association, Magistrates Association, HRDC and the Malawi Law Society.
In an interview, Khumbo Soko, lawyer representing the claimants said the legal team shall start assessing the costs to be served to the two through the registrar.
The two were faulted by the court months ago
after they tried to send Chief Justice Andrew Nyirenda and Justice Edward Twea on leave
pending their retirement.
