what is Malawi Crocodiles Party (MCP) Saying? Chakwera is still sleeping waiting to wake up in 2019
Our police force is a mixed bag with good apples and rotten ones. Often and sadly it is the bad ones that get promoted. The merit system in the service needs to be improved. As for the rotten cabinet ministers their time will come. It might take months or years but some day they will pay for the sins they committed. History teaches us few evil ones escape justice. This DPP Caliphate will fall

Awa amaba ndi mfuti pomwe ena akutibela mwa cash gate koma osamangidwa.
Bring back Bingu’s “shoot to kill” for these animals. We toil for our spoils and they want to get them for free and even killing innocent souls in the process!! Well done MPS. We need to give credit where it is due and keep up the good work but do not set them free. They should rot in hell.
Don’t say ” three armed robbers and a soldier” But Four armed robbers including a soldier” ! He is an armed robber and part of the group!
signs of sick economy
Thank you our police for the job well done in arresting these animals. However, I am not happy in the way our courts and police handle the issues of robberies in this country. Two days from now we will see them walking tall in our street after being granted a bail. What nonsense is this that a robber has more freedom than a victim of robbery? That’s why people have taken laws into their own hands.
