Chiumia Obama Grace

The action to impound a minibus in Mzuzu city for exceeding passenger limit has pleased Malawians who have applauded Minister of Home Affairs and Internal Security Grace Chiumia.

Chiumia who also calls herself Obama impounded a minibus in Mzuzu for having four passengers per seat instead of recommended three on each seat.

Grace Chiumia
Malawians happy with Chiumia for impounding a minibus.

The action is noted to have made Malawians happy as they have faulted minibus drivers for contravening road traffic laws.

Commenting on a story carried by Malawi24 on Saturday, Malawians applauded Chiumia for impounding the minibus.

“That’s good madam minister we are happy for you,” wrote Maureen Christabel Mackene.

While Patrick Nkhoma wrote: “Obama did well, minibuses are supposed to carry three passengers per seat well done madam.”

Another commenter Gift Mzava faulted the drivers for contravening the law despite hiking minibus charges.

Malawi government took seriously the law of having passengers not exceeding the recommended capacity of minibuses.

This followed an increase of road accidents in the country with dozens of lives being lost.

The introduction of the stiff measures witnessed minibus drivers and conductors rioting but police insisted that they will continue to implement the rules.

  1. What does a blood minister of home affairs has to do with the minibus? I thought the ministry of transportation is responsible for this? Made in Mzuzu

  2. Publicity stunt iyi: How many times will she be doing this? How did 200 passports disappeared under her watch? i hope one day she will catch a thief in the street. I would have praised her if she had apprehended Chaponda and handed him to the police

  3. Instead of constructing good roads u r buys fighting for exceeding which contributes very little to the accidents happening in Malawi.

    Develop a good road network and protect Malawians.

  4. Achitabwino anthu amaminibus amaonjeza kumangopakila anthu ngati atenga matumba akachewele aziwalanga choncho ndye muona china chopanda umunthu ndi nzeru chizizuzula kuti minister analakwitsa go a head mama

  5. I STOP UN SAFE WORK, safety is in your hands. It begins with you. Congratulations honorable. You have shown your commitment for safety in our roads.

  6. INDE ANAPANGA CHINTHU CHABWINO KOMA ANTHU AMADANA NDICHABWINO. SHE HAS TO BE CAREFUL, IF SOMEONE FEELS PAIN WHEN HE/SHE RESPONDS. IT WAS NOT HEALTH FOR THE HONOURABLE TO DO WHAT SHE DID. SHE COULD HAVE USED DUNDUZU ROADBLOCK OR LUWINGA POLICE UNIT.
