Road Traffic fires 62 ICT officers

Department of Road Traffic and Safety Services has fired 62 non established ICT officers amid heightened speculation that they were conniving to manipulate data to steal money from the government.

Director of DRTSS Fergus Gondwe: Contracts expired

The officers were on Monday told to bring back their uniforms to the directorate before they were told to leave for good.

But the director of the Road Traffic and Safety Services Fergus Gondwe played down the issue, saying the contract of the officers expired on Friday.

“These officers were on contract which expired  on Friday so obviously they had to leave. If they had issues to do with indiscipline we could have dealt with individuals,” he said.

The officers were responsible for the issuance of driving licence and certificate of fitness for vehicles among others.

Gondwe could not however say when the government was hiring the next cohort of the non established ICT officers.

  1. AKA KOMETA MMBALI KU BLANTYRE ROADTRAFFIC I HOPE KALI NAWO MUGULU,,,,EEEEH KAMANDIKWANA KOOPSA

  2. To all those who have commented negatively here, just know that moto umapita kwatsala tchire, today is them and tomorrow its you. Ntchito yanuyo simunazilembe nokha

  3. These guys are no worse devils than some of the people commenting on their corruption, chili kunzako paja…Malawi has a cancer of corruption in many sectors and whoever wants to blame these ICT dudes should come with very crystal clean hands….I rest my case…..

  4. Road Traffic is a mother of all corrupt activities in Malawi and the way they do it is as if it is allowed that is why the so called dobadobas will always be there because they work as agents of officers. These so called temporaly ICT officer were working as if they received special training on how to do corruption. As they walked out from work, their pockets were full of corrupt proceeds and they will go about bonking women and drinking expensive beer. Road traffic used to have CCTV but these were long time disabled so that they should continue with their corrupt activities. No one understands why their systems are always down yet as compared to banks, banks carry out huge volumes of data yet if there is an outage it only lasts a few hours but at road traffic its on daily basis and one wonders whether they employ qualified ICT officers or its deliberately done to create delays so that they are bribed to start processes. I feel the person who can end all this is Chilima among all the presidential candidates because he was born in the computer age not these other oldies. who even do not know how to operate a computer. CORRUPTION AT ROAD TRAFFIC IS RIFE AND EVEN ACB CAN NOT MANAGE TO END IT. THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO WERE TRANSFERRED ELSEWHERE ON PROMOTION BUT THEY REFUSE TO TAKE THEIR POSITIONS BECAUSE OF FEAR OF LOSING BENEFITS OF CORRUPTION AT ROAD TRAFFIC. WE ARE WAITING FOR CHILIMA TO END THIS VICE

    1. Are you reducing Chilima to a position of an ICT officer? To end corruption everyone must say no corruption not just those in leadership. Enafenso ndimagamba a corruption Koma kungoti mwayi Otero tilibe Koma pa Social media pano timakhala ngati angelo

  5. Welcome to the world amanyanya ku simbwa ana amenewa kumakhalangati ma motor examiner ndiwowo mutipezano muma office mwathu ndipomwe muzadziwe kuti nafe tilindikufunikila padziko..

  6. That good riddance. These dudes were living superficial life and stealing big time. Theft at road traffic is officially allowed and the least an officer take home of corrupt proceeds is MK150,000. I know some officers who are able to build a house complete within one month. In fact the system are designed in a way that makes corruption rife and order of doing business. In a country of 95% of illiterates how do you automate system..one friend in the high code says the make over a million a day and share by doing the code for people and similar situation happens in the eye test. I am told that even the minister takes something from these proceeds.

    1. ndiye kuti apanga Jealous ndi mkhala kale; Mufuna mundiuze akale ndiye mmesa ndi source of corruptions
