He warned that police will not allow criminals to terrorise residents, adding they will mount 24-hour security patrols across the region to contain crime.

He said the donation of fuel and money from the Asian community and Chipiku Stores will top up resources that have already been reservedto deal decisively with criminals.
Kainja asked Lilongwe residents to cooperate with the police and help them fight crime as they strive to ensure law and order.
Speaking after the donation Zaheer Bheda, leader of the Asian Community delegation, said the donation is meant to help police, especially community policing, as it is a vital link between the people and the police
In his remarks, Chipiku regional manager Eran Konzentani said it is their corporate social responsibility to assist police as it is an important arm of government in maintaining law and order.n
Mr kainja, we do not need your so called high alert stands only during xmas time, we need that alertness 24/7 365 days of the year.
It is so appalling that you can assure Malawians of your security during the festive season while you have failed to provide the same for the past months and years.
If you can provide security to every resident in the capital city during the xmas period then what stops you from doing the same all year round?
