Minister of Home Affairs and Internal Security Grace Chiumia shocked onlookers in Mzuzu when she impounded a minibus which carried extra passengers.

According to reports, the minister pretended to board the minibus before confiscating the keys of the vehicle when it was about to leave the city for Karonga.

Grace Chiumia: impounds minibus.

The reports are showing that the minibus registration number RU 5515 exceeded passenger limits which did not go well with Chiumia.

This prompted her to remove the keys of the minibus while it was refuelling at Total Mzuzu Central Station.

Some reports are indicating that Chiumia handed over the keys to police so that they should take proper measures against the driver.

In June the country registered a rise in road accidents which led to the deaths of many people.

To curb the increase in accidents, the police introduced new road traffic rules and started seriously enforcing old ones.

  3. Anzanga a police service iyi ndi message yokuuzani kuti mukulephera komanso nkhaniyi musamasiyile a traffic okha, ma CID nanunso olo inu a G4S muziagwira akatenga 4 x4

    1. Komanso ife macommutor ndi udindo wathu kuuza ma taxi driver asakweze 4-4 tikaona report ku police zizatithandiza ine ndapangapo kawiri konse

  4. Lets put politic aside but bus drivers and conductor are stealing our money now, it’s daily robbery ,sometimes you pay the same amount of money but 4 per seat its bad

    1. It’s true they are robbing us while our eyes are open. Last week I boarded minibus from town to Matchase in Lilongwe, everyone was paying K400.00 every stage ngakhale otsikila pa shareworld kukwela wina mpando womweo akulipiraso K400.00 and ndalama imeneyo ndi ya conductor/driver

    2. So here some politicians analyst take advantage to blame Obama, it’s not right Malawiana are suffering indirectly like we are blind, do you think if other authorities take an example of what she did, all minbus will take lessons

  5. Very good move but not great considering the fact that she herself is involved in 200 passports scandal. You can’t be patriotic and be an infidel at the same time

  6. Keep it up mama. This is a very good development. Mwatiphunzitsa. Drivers must be disciplined at all cost. Its the responsibility of as all. Zimatiwawa kutaya anansi athu chifukwa chosasamala. Thumbs up. God bless you!

  7. Mai uyu amaputsitsa and she can arrrest.she is a simple woman even when she is close.she is humble and the way she comes as if she is an ordinary person. She is not like other ministers who normally wear nkhope zoopyseza akafika pa gulu.I like the way she represents her self.

  8. Osakamugwira Chaponda chimanga bwanji? Ufera za eni, pangani zantchito yanu. You are not a traffic police or motor examiner. Mind u Chiumia, this is Malawi. Osamanga anthu omwe amakwera minibus itazaza kale bwanji?

  9. actually, every good citizen that wishes this country well should be doing this! Ama minibus amaonjeza! A friend of mine boarded a minibus which was over speeding unnecessarily. When the traffic cops stopped it to check the papers and stuff, this friend called one of the traffic cops and told them that the driver is over speeding and anamuuza amayankha kuti ngati simunalape ndi zanu zimenezo. The cops asked the driver, he refused! Then the cops asked the other passengers, anavomera. The conductor and driver forced the friend kuti basi atsike asakwerenso bus yawowo. The friend did that with pleasure! The cops told the remaining passengers kuti akathamanganso, report to the next cops you will meet. That is what we call patriotism

  10. Si minibus zokha komanso ma bus opita ku Euthini_ Mbalachanda kuchoka ndikupita ku Mzuzu amayimika anthu mpaka pakhomo apolisi ake nawonso mbola amuma road block amangowatayila chabe tuma K500 basi nkumadusa ifeyo kwathu zoti boma limakaniza zoimilila mu bus timamvera pano pa Malawi24 she must go to our buses she will prove herself

  11. pilizi…. does she have jurisdiction over such matters? abuse of power… ineso ndiyamba kulanda ma minibus iya

    1. No way she’s just the overseer of the Ministry she’s not a trained traffic regulator. She just wanted to initiate a publicity stunt. How many times will she be doing that?

    2. Not at all….Mr Gonani, the woman is not mandated…she has really crossed her boundaries. She is not and has never been a road traffic police officer..she is a nurse. She is only an overseer as Violet has indicated….but you know pa malawi

    3. Cuthbert shut up iwe! only the trained personel can impound vehicles… osat kut ali ndi ka title kopasidwa ndi a president nde kuti basi aliyense Minister atha kumapanga impound ma Galimoto? The honorable Minister’s move is A total sign of Abuse of power in Malawi… Cuthbert you arr illiterate sure

    4. anthu ena school inakukanikani,kaya ndi kupanda mzeru,kaya kukulila kumuzi,kodi munamvako za LAW ABIDING CITIZEN? every citizen has a right to impound,or protest or take action on matters affecting its citizens, only that kwathu kuno we think police has the mandate to do so.SHE IS A MINISTER FOR CHRIST SAKE,

    5. this simply exposes weaknesses in her ministry while at the same time she is reminding Malawins of their role to reprimand government on poor leadership.

    6. Vuto la anthu okonda ndale simusowa zolankhula kodi ifeyo opanda otilankhulira fe kuknkhani zapasewu, mzimai yo sadalakwe ngakhale alibe mphavu koma a polisi so nawo akupanga chinyengo kodi mundiuza kuti u through out the road there were no police traffic, even them are corrupted, so she done right, whether you are MCP, DPP, UDF, everybody have got the right to end what is happening in this shit country, don’t blame her.

    1. kkkk bigvup obama chiume ilike tje way she behaves munthu koma uyu va maminibus mama kwe kwa bwana ndalama zido walhaura pera aheee apa wasangana nayo mwana mlongosi wapa nkhata
