I now know that Malawi has no security. I don’t think a crime committed can take months before apprehending the master minders. Its very sad that our police only concentrate on the roads. Here you will find contingent after contingent in the name of traffic police whilst what they want is a mere K200 from minibus drivers. The Government should now be giving deadlines in criminal investigations not just open ended investigating which takes ages. Failure to apprehend anyone in a crime committed is inefficiency and the Police In-charge of that area should be taken to task or demoted
