Police intensifies security for festive season
Malawi Police Service (MPS) Inspector General (IG) Lot Dzonzi has assured Malawians that there will be maximum security ahead of the festive season and beyond.
Dzonzi said this on Friday during an audience with police officers in the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) in Lilongwe.
He observed that CID is one of the police departments doing commendable work in terms of probing serious criminal activities.
Dzonzi said through the CID and other departments within the police, MPS has taken steps to ensure safety of citizens and all tourists that will be visiting the country during the Christmas and New Year festivities.
But he was quick to point out that every Malawian has a role to play in keeping Malawi safe.
Dzonzi said currently MPS has embarked on rapid police traffic checks on all the major roads to prevent accidents.
He said police has also increased the number of officers in both uniform and CID to be deployed in various areas that are prone to criminal activities.
The IG also hailed his officers for arresting five of the people accused of robbing Minister of Natural Resources, Energy and Mining Atupele Muluzi at his official residence in Lilongwe’s Area 9 recently.
He said preliminary investigations show that the suspects are hardcore criminals on police wanted list of serious offences committed within the City of Lilongwe and other districts.
Gone are the days of proper security in this state……we are living in fear as if police men they dont have Guns …umbanda nde wa nyanya … kodi ntchito ya IG ndi chani? kodi if Police as the whole when is not doing its job proppery whos responsible … kodi mau woti Law enforcement atathauzanji?…..Apolice sakugwila ntchito bwino to be honest….Lamulo likugwira ntchito kwa wosauka … Atupere waberedwa you are trying to your level best to find those responsible ..kodi ndi angati amene aberedwa you dint do like wise?
Police yanthu so sad……To me Inspector General akulephera ntchito… chifukwa ndiye boss
Police intensifies security for the festive season? hahaha we have heard about that before, question is why are they intensifying security for the festive season only when Malawians are being robbed, raped, & murdered on daily basis 24/7 all year round?
The truth is we are the people who live with criminals in our communities. Some of them are our brothers, husbands, sons, neighbours etc. If we want a safe and secure Malawi, we need to hold hands together as Malawians. Let us report criminals to the authorities so that we can be a safe environment. If we wait on the police, we will fail because police cannot do it alone.
