Malawi Police Service says it will not tolerate any police officer found demanding money from suspects in the name of bail which is for free.

Central Region Commissioner of Police John Nyondo made the remarks in Mchinji during a station executive committee meeting aimed at developing ideas on how security can be enhanced in the district.

Nyondo said the police service wants to get rid of people’s mentality that police officers are corrupt.

He explained that to make the move effective some of the corrupt officers have been arrested while others have been fired from the service as a warning to others who have the same habit.

The commissioner then commended the police service in the district for reducing crime to 15% from the month of May to October.

He therefore encouraged them to keep on tightening security in the district.

He however warned chiefs in the district to avoid wrangles among themselves since police waste their time with such cases instead of other duties.

Police officers, traditional leaders, chiefs, village headmen gathered together with other stakeholders at the meeting.

  19. Well most people know that bail is free but wen you get arrested and u spend a day or two inside sell whether your guilty or not the fist thing that comes in your mind is to go home to your family and get it over with you don’t worry about the cost you worry about spending another hour in that shit hole.you can demand that when your free but not when your in their hands they are bosses at that time.I think it can only work if we educate them and pay them well to minimise corruption among them

  56. The bail must be only issued in court. Bail and fine are two different things. They must be specific because its only court can decide if you qualify for bail out or not. For example if the investigations are still in process it mighty jeopardise the process. So don’t just say in general bail is for free. State the reason. That’s why ID is needed so that when they release you on bail they can write down you particulars and see if you are not a flight risk.
