National Police spokesperson Rhoda Manjolo confirmed the recovery of the vehicle.

She after the theft Police informed their Mozambican counterparts in neighbouring countries to help them in the search of the vehicle.

Manjolo said Mozambican Police communicated to their Malawian counterparts that they had spotted the vehicle mid February.

“Our Mozambican counterparts started tracing the vehicle until they found it abandoned at some location. Our Police officers together with officers from the Ministry of Information went to Mozambique to recover the vehicle and it is now in the country,” Manjolo said.

Police arrested drivers for Nankhumwa and his Principal Secretary in connection with the theft.

The drivers have been released on bail.

The four-ton-vehicle was stolen by people who hired it from Lilongwe Dedza.

It appears only vehicles of prominent people are recovered. So does this mean the Malawi police only care about the so called important people? Tell us about ordinary people’s vehicles being recovered; probably none. Would this be surprising if none of the ordinary people’s vehicles were recovered? I guess not. We all know about Malawi police’s incompetence. They either participate in stealing or they are outright incompetent to follow up on these thefts. Malawi police are generally a hopeless bunch of thieves, and incompetent law enforcers.

So what will happen to the two poor drivers? Will they continue with their duties or they will be still be answering the case now that the vehicles have been recovered. Otherwise they need to be compesated as well for unlawful arrest.

Am surprised Manjolo is being attributed as Police Spokesperson when she is Ntchisi Police Officer In Charge, abale, some of these basic information tamapangani investigate. Are you sure your reporter got the interview from Manjolo?

Can we have Nankhumwa arrested for sending his driver to sell government vehicle. These tricks were also done by JB.

Nankhumwa is not a trustworthy person, he always tells lies and bear false witness.

Thanks the vehicle is recovered but why detain the driver when he was authorised to take the car to theft prone area(Lunzu)?. Which is more valuable a person and the car?. If the driver was shot dead, what would you have done?. This is colonial mentality by our stil police force not service

My advice to the people who man our road blocks is to stop, inspect and search all vehicles, that is including government and civilian. At the same time demanding identities and contacting the government by giving them the number plate and name of the driver and the minister whom they chauffer drive before letting the cars pass the road block. This then calls for more officers at the road blocks to ease traffic jam
