Malawi leader vows to fight crime and corruption
Malawi President Peter Mutharika has maintained his vow to fight corruption and organised crime in the country and has since urged all arms of the government to join forces with the administration.
Police have reported several armed robberies, murders and car jackings, creating fear and panic among Malawians.
Mutharika said on Tuesday that his administration is waging war against crime.
“In order for us to wage a successful war, we will need to work together with the courts in the discharge of cases. It is only when we join forces that the public can begin to take us seriously,” President Mutharika said when he presided over the swearing of Justice Anthony Kamanga to the Malawi Supreme Court of Appeal.
“I therefore want to appeal to the Judiciary that, as a nation, let us send a strong warning that crime will no longer be tolerated in this country,” he added.
Last year Mutharika claimed that organized gangs – he did not disclose which ones – want to destabilize his administration.
In the 2014-2015 national ‘zero-aid’ budget, the government more than doubled its allocation to the country’s law enforcement agencies, including local police, to help curb criminal activities.

Mr President, Crime should be eliminated, including that of our DPP cadres who terrorize others. They kill at will even a police officer at Goliati. Though I am not a PP follower, that was also a crime at it’s high level. Have they been brought to book, Mr President? The panga welders of Blantyre, have they been brought to book and sentenced? The Robert Chasowa assassination. The Fanikiso murder! These are but a few of grave crimes by our bloody hands which we have not addressed, which will still haunt the regime, us in DPP, and you Mr President because… Read more »
We are breeding thieves in Malawi by tolerating street kids who terrorise people even during day time. They harras, verbally abuse and beat up women in our streets just because you’ve given them little money or nothing. These boys are even more dangerous at night where they stab or rape. When they grow up they graduate to minibus call boys and hard core thieves and robbery gangs that terrorise homes at night and hack people with no mercy because alibe umunthu or chisoni kamba ka moyo omwe anakulila. Please minister Kaliyati stop the cycle ya umbava. deal with these children… Read more »

Talk is cheap Mr President! We want results! Buying cars alone want solve problems. Ask the people and they will give ideas.
Lip service when we are tactically empty.
Talk is cheap without action. Most of the armed robberies taking place its either the Lhomwe people or people mostly from Southern districts. Time to be specific when attacking crime pepetrators
