flag Malawi’s DPP faces backlash for dropping corruption cases against top officials, sparking concerns over accountability and unchecked power.

flag In early 2026, Malawi’s Director of Public Prosecutions faces growing criticism for discontinuing high-profile corruption cases involving former officials and cabinet ministers, raising concerns about unchecked power and inconsistent justice. flag Under Section 99 of the constitution, the DPP can halt cases at any stage without judicial review, submitting justifications to Parliament’s Legal Affairs Committee—though the committee lacks authority to override decisions. flag Critics, including the Malawi Law Society and legal experts, argue the system enables political influence and erodes public trust, urging reforms to introduce judicial oversight and clear guidelines. flag The controversy underscores broader concerns about accountability and the rule of law in Malawi’s justice system.
