LETTER TO MY JOSE AND THE PRESIDENT ARTHUR PETER MUTHARIKA.
From: Concerned Police Officers countrywide.
APM TENURE AS COMMANDER IN CHIEF
Mr. President when you ascended to power in 2014 we had hopes that you will change the conditions of the police and fellow men and women in uniform. However, we should say that you are the worst commander in chief that we have seen over the years. You are the first CIC that has the audacity to steal from the police (145 m) and use it for your party DPP, you are crooked in your dealings noted with the food rations, uniform saga- How on earth can a president steal from an organ that protect people- You care less of your people and its your party that counts most to you. You have promoted fellow tribal men in the name of Jose and Mwapasa very incompetent people to lead the police. These nincompoops are a disgrace and they not patriotic, they leave for you and they will do anything to please you not Malawians. Each and every police officer is tired and we don’t want you and these too. Fellow police officers have evidence on how you rigged 2014 elections and also these elections in 2019. We have supplied this info to concerned and aggrieved parties. For sure, your days as CIC are numbered and verily I say to you, you will not rule Malawi for the next five years- Believe you me.
ALBINO KILLINGS AND DEATH OF BULEYA LULE
Mr. President, our criminal investigation department has information on how and who is killing albinos, sadly, as you know better most of your zealots are named. Mr. President, we also know how Buleya Lule was killed and we know as long as you are still in power, you will suppress the truth but let us assure you Mr. President, soon Malawians will know who killed and why Buleya Lule was killed. In any case, your image will not be the same.
MR NJAUNJU AND CHASOWA KILLING
Mr President, the reason you are still clinging to power is simply because you know you will be answerable to Malawians on how Mr. Issa Njaunju was killed. We have all the info and assailants and very soon Malawians will know- time is a salvage. The Inspector General will also have to defend himself. We know the assailants.
MALAWIANS EXPRESSING THEIR DEMOCRATIC RIGHT
Its clear Mr. President that you rigged the elections and 1134 police officers have info on how this happened and take note in true sense only 28 percent of Malawians voted for you (not 38 % as MEC and their mercenaries announced). We have info on how this happened and soon Malawians will know. When Malawians are going to the street they have a genuine cause. Soon one day we will let them come to the state house. Very soon, we will stop taking orders from the IG and DIG
WHAT WE ARE ASKING
The immediate dismissal of the IG and DIG otherwise all said above will come to the public domain with finer details and next time Malawians are demonstrating we will not control them.
NYASA TIMES HELP US PUBLISH THIS LETTER AND WE HAVE DELIVERED THE SAME TO YOU MR PRESIDENT. WE DEMAND A RESPONSE BY JULY 10 AND FAILURE TO DO SO WE WILL TAKE ANOTHER STEP
You can force a horse to the river,but you cannot force it to drink water
Dont think that officers are happy with u,mind u your days r numbered
Mr Jones I think naye kamutu kayamba kuthawa, why dealing with innocent souls of police officers?
Just bcoz they have posted what is happening on the ground then should be regarded as crime to fire them??
You are failing miserably to arrest Sameer Karim who stole our Mk2.7 billion of Kwachas and his fellow Batawalala of Mk54 billion.
Your leadership is shameful to the nation at large. We have heard real people commiting crime such as Mk145million on your appointee but no arrest is being made so mere whatsapp Chat mkuti mchuke naye, so pathetic.
Thats an order l know ur not happy becoz u know for sure their Will no more leaked information. Akutulukira you crooks , ur days are numbered all u will have a case to answer .
Our police lack professionalism something needs to be done about the recruitment for this to change
chamba ichiiiiiii ife kuno tikuzionatuuu munyaaaaaa
Good development however you need a mobile application that can be accessed by officers for quicker messaging
We need a Police Force. Not a Service. With barbed wire fences for police premises and two service gates. Get a grip.
Asakuopyezeni. Whatsapp is secure mapeto.
