Office of the Attorney General intends to appeal a ruling by the Industrial Relations Court (IRC) favouring former State House Press Officer, Brian Banda, to receive a compensatory K103 million for unfair dismissal.
Justifying the move, the Spokesperson for the Attorney General, Emmanuel Lawyer, cited the basis of the ruling as a misrepresentation of facts hence the appeal.
On 23 December 2023, Deputy Chairperson of the IRC, Mike Kandulu, ordered the multi-million compensation with an additional K1.2 million as severance pay.
Banda previously served as a Press Officer at the State House in 2020. He reportedly went to China to further his studies and upon his return to Malawi he did not return to State House.
