The other issue may be on transport management systems, you wonder how can the whole truck enter into the center of the city (pa lambat) and start offloading cement kkkk and even some trucks are driven into our plot roads fully loaded ndiye ndi misewu yokomoka atimangirayi upeza anyenyanso kkkk osakaima ku kanengo bwanji? kenako nkumabweretsa ntown using smaller vehicles, basi the whole truck kwa magalasi?

the problem is overload, you can see other passengers standing from Lilongwe to Mzuzu as well as from Lilongwe to Blantyre. we need to change this we only need sited passengers only. and night buses are the worst over loaders

Police officers seem to allow or turn a blind eye to many inappropriate or criminal acts on the roads eg overloading, overspeeding, worn-out tyres, drunken drivers, un-roadworthy vehicles, reckless driving, etc contribute significantly to accident risks on roads. The numbers of “officers” deployed & the number of roadblocks do not seem to curb our notoriety of being high on list of most dangerous roads. Perhaps this is their silent way of protesting against poor housing and pay. Other factors is general attitudes of of “freedom” or entitlement of drivers, cyclists and pedestrians.
