  1. Once rejected by parliament automatically he’s ejected from police…..kkkkk my friend you are finished

  2. THE LOMWELISATION WAY OF APPOINTMENTS WITHOUT DUE MERIT IS WHAT THE TOMOTHY MTAMBO TEAM AND MANY MALAWIANS OUT THERE ARE FIGHTING AGAINST.WE KNOW THERE ARE A NUMBER OF CAPABLE AND QUALIFIED MALAWIANS WITHIN THE POLICE SERVICE WHO HAVE BEEN DENIED THE OPPORTUITY TO BE IG BECAUSE OF THE OPEN DPP LOMWELIZATION POLICY. WE ARE ALL MALAWIANS AND WE ALL PAY TAXES.

  3. If mps accept his appointment then i do not know where malawi is heading to, and i shall never trust our august house any more. why is mthalika doing this to us ,too much nepotism

  4. Koma ku malawi kuno anthu sitifunirana zabwino ndithu. Of course a Dinky left the poly with a diploma in 1993 which was not bad then and he went straight to join the police. I remember finding him in the bus depot in lilongwe when he had just joined the police and he has risen through the system. Now listen to this, when acb was just starting, it had a technical advisor mzungu and this guy came from zambia where he had worked in the police. Also this other time, I was reading a certain story about the ceo of standard bank a whiteman from south africa and he proudly said that he had a mere bachelors degree. Malawians did not ask because these were azungus, thats bad. Ask about politians in europe, america, asia, they do not possess the papers that we always talk about. You will find funny papers like degree in zoology, for boris johnson, he is a journalist. But here you would request to have people with mba, professor in such such an area which is bad. Leave dinky to run the police. He has proven to be a better person than he was in college. Please give him a chance, munthu wafika pa bar and may not stay there for five years.

    1. Mbwiye your opinion is quiet good but there are things we know about him mean while you dont even even have a clue. SO WE SAY NO TO HIM HE SHOULD NOT BE APPROVED.

      He has shown incompetence in some areas even though he hold good qualification from poly by we respect him for that..

      Qualification is a measure of ability and confidence of competence of which management or organizations measures at individuals in here home. This man is not a CIVIL SERVANT but biases political parties and individuals. He is not the right person to serve us as the national.

      Thirdly the recruitment process on police officers has now changed They taking according to regions and tribals, eg pa apolice 12 akutenga 7kukhala alhomwe it doesn’t work like that..

  10. Inu Mwapasa momwe wawonongera Police service zowona mungamusankhe kukhala IG
    Uyutu Parliament sikamuvomeleza ayi Mwasapasa ndi Cadet wachikhalire uku ndiye kupheretu Police kukhala DPP Police service not Malawi Police Service as it was some some years ago

    1. Kkkkkkkkk mwene musandiseketse can you me is there any IG who was appointed by President that excelled easily without opposition from other quarters? It is normal my friend no matter what ppo may say but he will get thru. Kodi mu Lomwe simunthu and izi ndinu amene mukumayambitsa nepotism. Rodney Jose is from Central have you ever heard any other tribe being against him? sTOP this type of thinking my friend lets love our land mawa ndi achimwene anu, mwana wanu, alamu wanu, etc amene adzakhale pa mpando umenewu so avoid kulankhula uku.

  11. This is the time for the opposition, if we have a true opposition that wishes this country well, to reject this appointment. Mwapasa is not different from Jose. We need an educated man to head the police service.

    1. Very true….. Does the appointing authority know kuti Dancan anathawa sukulu ku Poly? Mbuli ya munthu kuthawa sukulu itavuta? Kumakangogona ndi mahule ku makhetha. Check my facts this was in 1993
