Five general officers in Malawi think not, and have gone to court to press the point. Details here. Excerpt:
Inside MDF sources paint an even darker picture. Four of the senior officers--[Major Generals] Soko, Kalisha, Banda and Dzoole--have been posted as Directors of Security at ADMARC, NOCMA, Water Board, and EGENCO, while Brigadier General Mchungula has been dispatched to ESCOM in the same capacity.
To many observers, the redeployments bear the markings of political interference, stripping the military of its independence and scattering its top brass into parastatals at a time when stability, discipline and strategic leadership are most needed.
With the matter now before the High Court, pressure is intensifying on the Mutharika administration to explain why decorated military leaders are being moved like political pawns--and whether the rule of law still governs decisions at the highest levels of government.
