Police on Sunday arrested a Nkhoma Mission Hospital driver for allegedly defying orders to give way to Malawi President Bingu wa Mutharika’s motorcade.

The President was travelling by road to Lilongwe from Domasi in Zomba where he presided over a teachers’ graduation ceremony.

The driver, identified as Blessings Njolomole (28) of Madesa Village, Traditional Authority Mazengera in Lilongwe, has since been charged with failing to stop for a presidential convoy.

He has also been charged with driving a motor vehicle under the influence of liquor and drugs, according to Central Region Police spokesperson John Namalenga.

Njolomole was driving a Nkhoma Mission Hospital vehicle registration 031 MG 1480 from Lilongwe towards the Dedza direction en route to his base.

“This man met the convoy at Matindi Girls Academy [at Nathenje] and the in-charge of the convoy, who was in a sweeper [role] in the lead vehicle, instructed him to stop. However, he went on non-stop,” said Namalenga.

Sources at Nkhoma hospital on Monday claimed Njolomole was transporting blood for transfusion to a patient at the facility; hence, his not stopping for the convoy.

But Namalenga said the Road Traffic Act provides that every road user, including an ambulance, should give way to a presidential motorcade.

Hospital administrator Willie Mzama said he needed to gather more information on the issue.
