Malawi police IG Jose says he’ll resign if Parliament finds him ‘incompetent’
Inspector General of the Malawi Police Service, Rodney Jose, has said he will resign as police chief if Parliament finds him to be “incompetent.”
Jose told a news conference held at Police national headquarters in Lilongwe on Monday following his letter ordering the Human Rights Defenders Coalition (HRDC) to stop convening demonstrations in the country.
“There are calls for me to resign saying that I am incompetent and most of them are making reference to the letter as my admission of my failure,” said Jose.
“There are so many professional bodies and Public Appointments Committee who can do an assessment to see if I have failed to do my job.
“Let them do so and if they find me wanting, I am ready to resign,” he said.
Jose said he would not cling to his office, if Parliament finds him “incompetent.”
He said: “It won’t even take a minute before I resign if I am indeed found to be incompetent.”
Jose said his decision to send the letter to HRDC chairperson Timothy Mtambo dated July 26 2019, to suspend the demonstrate follows violent and criminal acts that have characterised recent protests.
Asked if he will engage the MEC chairperson to persuade her to resign, Jose said the reasons given for her to resign are more political in nature hence, the police doesn’t see merit in intervening in such matters.
SO SAD. YOU HAVE USED YOUR OWN MOUTH TO SAY THAT YOU HAVE FAILED TO PROVIDE SECURITY SO WHY MUST WE WAIT FOR OTHERS TO FIND YOU UN ABLE TO PERFORM YOUR DUTIES? RESIGN NOW!!! FREE MALAWIANS
i like the speech the army commander made, osati phokoso amapanga Jose
Army commander it’s for Malawi Army.its not DPP Army like DPP police.
You must protect each and every Malawian citizen not only DPP clan they you will have a trust from all Malawians
Koma IG Jose ndi wanzeru chonchi bwa?
This guy knows his stuff. And his constitutional job.
Kuvota tinavota ndiye tikhaleso pamavuto chifukwa chakuti ovoteredwa akukangana za mavoti? Is that fair? Amene anavoteredwa zawo zikuyenda, chakwera akulandira ndalama za mp and chilima za pension. Zoona just because then ndikhaleso wovutika chifukwa chovota? Guys we are not serious. You better go kulikonse kumene amadandaula mukadandaule osati anthu azivutika chifukwa cha anthu ovoteredwa.
Ladies and gentlemen we should not belittle jose just because we want to have either chakwera or chilima as our leader. These two are stupid. Thats stupidity to the power infinity. Uchitsiru basi. Mtambo and trapece are very stupid and enafe kusukulu tinapitakotu. Tiyenazoni we are ready. Do not take us for granted. People are getting frustrated.
