Police arrest MEC driver for obstructing presidential convoy

1. I doubt if she was told by traffic police that the president is coming or was there sign post to indicate that the president was passing

2. I understand both the driver and the bodyguard have testified that she instructed the driver not to give way. What a stupid thing to do, if true. The Tonse guys have been baying for her blood since June 23. Now she’s decided to give them an excuse. A big fat excuse! So much hubris! She will now quickly find out chinameta nkhanga m’pala.

3. Palibe nkhani apa… obstructing a Presidential motorcade is a serious crime bordering on bleaching Presidential security. They don’t clear the road for the sake of gaining time, but the obstructions compromise security for Head of State. Asakhwi inu.

4. The driver is a victim of circumstances, the real culprit is the MEC commissioner. It is very obvious that the driver was under instructions from his boss not to pave way to the presidential convoy. The police did nothing wrong to arrest the driver because that is the only way it can establish the motive behind the driver’s action in obstructing the presidential convoy.

5. Kunje you are a dog

6. zikukhala ngati kunjeyu amasetekedwa.
   after the money spree and today still getting our monies

7. Kunje, politicising this issue sounds stupid of you. Of all the people on the road that time you think you are the only one supporting DPP? Stop wasting our time with your DPP. There are alot of civilised people who support DPP. Mulira mpaka liti?

8. Lazaro still wielding excessive power there. Servant leadership ija ndiimeneyi? Aneneri onyenga inu fotseki!

9. Let the law takes its course.
   Kunje you’re against the new government because you know this very well & why you didn’t tell your driver not to? You’re an idiot & support your driver’s family. Mbuzi iwe kwabasi.

10. Even traffic offense people get arrested…

11. I do now think there is a specific crime here..it is a general traffic crime..that doesnt warrant arresting but rather a fine.. Failure to clear off the road to when ordered by police or an emergency services vehicle. How will police proov to an independent judge in a court that she obstructed the road for the president not to pass or that she pause threat to the president. THIS IS HOW THE LAW WORKS IF POLICE ARREST A THIEF WHO ENTERED THROUGH AN OPEN DOOR AND LATER THE POLICE EXAGERATED THE CRIME TO SAY HE BROKE INTO THE HOUSE AND THE JUDGE DISCOVERS THA HE DID NOT BREAK INTO THE HOUSE. THE JUDGE WILL DISMISS THE CHARGE. SO EXAGERATION DON’T WORK AND I DONT THINK THERE’S SOMETHING LIKE ” FAILURE TO STOP TO A VP CONVOY, IR FAILURE TO STOP TO TRAFFIC POLICE OR FAILURE TO STOP TO FIRST LADY CONVOY..AND ALL THOSE SILLY INDIVIDUAL SPECIFIC CHARGES. IN OTHER COUNTRIES IS IT SIMPLY ” FAILURE TO CLEAR OFF THE ROAD WHEN INSTRUCTED BY AUTHORITY ( AMBULANCE, FIRE, POLICE ETC). AND ONE GETS FINED AN EQUIVALENT TO 2 DAYS WAGES FOR A FIRST OFFENDER . THIS IS DIFFERENT FROM FAILURE TO STOP WHEN STOPPED BY POLICE. THATS AN ARREST. THE LEAD VIHICLE WANS PEOPPE TO CLEAR OFF THE ROAD..ITS NOT A POLICE STOP ORDER AS THE PAW DOES NOT PROVIDE POWER TO THE POLICE TO OBSTRUCT PEOPLES FREEDOM OF MOVEMENTS UNLESS THEY’RE R SUSPECTED OR FOR NATIONAL SECURITY. SO THE PRESIDENT CONVOY JUST NEEDS SPACE TO PASS NOTHING MORE..I WONDER WHY ON EARTH WOULD ANYBODY WITH NO CRIME REFUSE TO CLEAR WAY FOR POLICE. THERE IS ALSO ” OBSTRUCTING POLICE FROM DOING THEIR DUTY” HOWEVER THEY WILL HAVE TO PRROOVE IT IN A COURT OF LAW OTHERWISE THE JUDGE WILL FREE HER..THE SENTENCE IS USUALLY BEING ARRESTED ..AND TAKEN TO POLICE FOR 24 HRS POLICE KNOW THEY DINT HAVE A CASE BUT THEY HAVE FREEDOM TO TAKE YOUR FREEDOM AWAY FOR 24 HRS TO TEACH U A LESSON. EVEN THE UNTOUCHABLE CAN BE PUNISHED IN THIS WAY. ITS OPEN TO ABUSE

12. What has it to do with persecution when clearly the laws makes it clear that road obstruction to presidential convoy is an offense punishable by Law. You think that Cyrene is for entertainment?

13. This incompetent commissioner is still at MEC?After blowing up Billions in the aborted elections she is still there ?

14. Dpp in my veins

15. Boma lomangokwiya chilichonse ngati Ana. Palichifukwa chomangila munthu pamenepapa?

    1. Obstructing or blocking a presidential convoy is a crime wawa unless if you don’t know.Read the Malawi Road Safety laws.

       1. Its not where kkk In Malawi mwinatu

       2. Iwenso nawe Bauleni sudziwa chomwe ukunena, waiwala kuti zomwezi APM was critisised of the same by TONSE Alliance?

    2. Read the Road Traffic rules & regulations, heti! The law is the law; obstructing a presidential convoy is an offence inu a Bauleni.

16. I feel there is something wrong with Kunje. Makani thoo and chances are high that she is the one who cheated the driver. Sad

    1. Why is she still at mec? People will judge you ( kunje) based on what you do and behave

    2. Ye she did so

17. Inu muli kunyumba kwanu driver Ali chitokosi just coz he wanted to b royal to u Madam. That’s not fair indeed Madam if u instructed ur driver not respect blue light. I don’t think any driver can ignore that without instructions from z Boss

    1. Ali phwiiii

18. Failing to give way to an emergency vehicle warrants a fine, arresting someone for traffic offences is an offense.
    Have yet to see signs at the front of a Presidential convoy notifying road users that it is a Presidential Convoy. Arrests such as this make MPS look unprofessional.

    1. Bwana kodi mesa zimayenda ndi ma siren.. do you know even obstructing an ambulance is a crime how about a head of state

    2. Don’t just rush to comment. Read your constitution

       1. Bwana you also have to understand before you comment or trash other people’s views. All the views condemning the arrest of the driver nobody is saying it isn’t a crime or wrong, no, but people are surprised with police’s over reaction. The police have gone overboard with the severity they want to treat the case, there must be some political appeasement. The offence doesn’t warrant such punishment as it is being taken by the police/authorities.

    3. High way code.

       Komanso, sizokhazo zomwe mumaziwa inu zili zoyenera.

19. What is DPP? The evil and satanic regime is gone

20. Kunje 🚮

21. Kunje, this has nothing to do with being DPP. Much as we drivers don’t like it, we do give way to any blue flashing lights. I have no doubt now that you are the one who told the driver not give way. Please stop playing a victim card all the time. Of all the hundred cars on that road, did they just pick a DPP car or the car that didn’t follow instructions?

    1. She is stubborn Lady

    2. Komatu amayi awa kukula mtima kwawo mkosathandiza, she thinks she is more important than anyone else? Does she know the seriousness of what her driver has done. That’s obstructing Presidential security… Komatu wawatumayo awapwetekesa kwambiri…

22. just accept kuti your driver acted wrongly.. mwana wanga kumenya a teacher kenako amupasa chibalo, iwe ngati kholo nikumati aphuzitsi akulimbana nawe… ignoring all available facts that proves your son misdeeds

    1. Very unnecessary to arrest the driver, surely for what?

       1. The drive needs to be arrested….
          He showed disrespect to our wise& handsome President….
          Kunje,you are bad hearted…. kikikiki, DPP is gone never will it be back…a nonsense educated lady.

       2. Welengani malamulo a dziko pankhani ya presidential convoy. Apo ayi ndikunenanitu Kuti ndinu mbuli ngakhale mwalemba chizungu Cho thyakuka.

       3. you wanted them to arrest the vehicle? hahaha zayeseni azakunjatani nanu lol

       4. Bwana don’t you know it’s a crime to obstruct any blue light/siren let alone a presidential convoy??!
