Henry Dama Phoya is a former Member of Parliament for Malawi's Blantyre Rural East, Minister of Lands and Housing[1] and Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Malawi.[2]

He was kicked out of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) after opposing the "Injunctions Bill", which he said was a bad piece of legislation that would remove human rights and not protect the people.[2] Phoya was also the chairperson for the National Assembly's Legal Affairs Committee (LAC); a post that went to Goodall Gondwe in August 2011.[2]

He lost his seat in January 2014.[1]
