2026年初,马拉维检察长因中止涉及前官员和内阁部长的高调腐败案件而面临越来越多的批评,引起人们对权力不受限制和司法不公的关切。 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. 根据《宪法》第99条,公诉主任可以不经司法审查在任何阶段停止案件,向议会法律事务委员会提出理由,尽管该委员会无权推翻决定。 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. 批评者,包括马拉维法律学会和法律专家,认为该系统能够施加政治影响,侵蚀公众信任,敦促改革以引入司法监督和明确准则。 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. 争议凸显了人们对马拉维司法系统问责制和法治的更广泛关切。 The controversy underscores broader concerns about accountability and the rule of law in Malawi’s justice system.
