But our Police just lacks creativity or innovation. Are they sure that vagrancy and vagabond was the only way to ensure that there is security in the country. We need to room to intelligent young men to bring creativity to our police force. Those uneducated officers who make up most of the higher positions should give way because they have nothing to offer. The countries he is mentioning like the USA, UK they are so advanced to just arrest innocent people at night. Infact people walk or move 24 hours including odd hours because they feel protected. In our country… Read more »

There should be nothing like modification but total removal of that law. The Malawi police used that law for selfish interests.

Sure we don’t need them. They act as personal revenue collection points for the Police Officers. Ndiye timanva kuti once the Police Officers go back to their stations from the road blocks mabwana awafunsa kuti mwayendako bwanji kuti awapatse ndalama. Criminals

the law was very biased and misused by you officers. you cannot say the law was helping to reduce crime. you deal with someone who is drunk going home to rest leaving out real criminals. someone just dropped from a night bus going home you beat him and arrest. but the ones moving around the streets with cars at late hours you cannot hunt them. there was nonsense in that law human rights violence. if that is the case, why the government grants liquor licence for night clubs if people are not supposed to drink at night and go home?… Read more »
