IG pleads for motor vehicles


Malawi Police

Inspector General of Malawi Police Service (MPS) Dr Lexten Kachama has pleaded with well-wishers to donate vehicles to the police saying the cars police has are inadequate.

Kachama made the appeal in Malawi’s capital, Lilongwe when he was briefing the media.

Kachama: We need more cars

According to Kachama, fast responsiveness to various emergencies by police officers depend on motor vehicles that at the moment are inadequate in Malawi.

The MPS boss said well-wishers can donate motor vehicles to the Police to boost delivery service.

Kachama gave a recent example in Blantyre at Chileka where an epileptic man was killed saying men in uniform failed to intervene fast because the car at Chileka police unit was away since the police post has one vehicle.

He said such incidents would have been avoided if the police officers had enough vehicles.

Kachama said people should not just wait for government only since it has a lot of tasks that need financial support.

However, Kachama disclosed that government has purchased vehicles from China that will be in the country soon.

During the presser, Kachama also disclosed that Malawi Police Service is in talks with Malawi network provider Airtel and TNM to restore its 997 and 990 lines for emergencies.

  3. Dependence burden is still big in Malawi, barely two days gone I read something that two expensive vehicles were bought to two government officials amounting to K270,00,000.00 and now u asking pple to donate , just two vehicles costing lots of millions of which u could have bought several police vehicles.

  4. 1. Where does all the money that police collect on roadblocks in Lilongwe city go? Use that money to buy cars.

    2. Ask your politicians who are filthy rich from corruption to donate money.

  5. With all this poverty in Malawi how can IG ask such a question. Just used to begging. Offenders on the road pay too much money, where does it go.

  8. Main problem in government, is misuse and abuse of government property. I do not care, it is for government. So why should I keep it like mine. I can sell Jack, engine, spark plugs out of vehicle. No problem, government will buy another one or repair it. This is the result. No way to improve, even if people donate 3000 vehicles. They will end up in private garages rotting.

  20. Cut the MPs and cabinet salaries by half and use the money to buy vehicles for hospitals and police. We want to see if you are really patriots. The leaders are preaching for patriotism while themselves live as if they are in another country in America. Foolish leaders
