We are capable, Police
Police Mobile Service and Immigration officers in Mzuzu held a 25-km parade from Ekwendeni to Mzuzu Central Business District on Friday, to demonstrate their capacity and capabilities in provision of security to the public and property.
During the parade, the men in uniform displayed different skills, including tag of war. The climax of the event was the launch of a water canon armoured vehicle which controls demonstrators through pressure water instead of teargas.
The teargas injures innocent civilians in most cases. The water canon can also be for firefighting and has the capability to extinguish its own fire in case it is set ablaze.
Malawi News Agency Photojournalist, Gracian Jeke witnessed the parade.
Chilima and Chakwera must rethink how to create one MILLION jobs in MALWI
Kudos gentlemen and ladies in uniform. Keep the public image positive. That’s very important. Your comrades from the defense force are squeaky clean in terms of how the public perceives them. Please emulate them.
Very capable of corruption, killing and raping people in police custody, raping girls in Msundwe, protecting criminal police officers amongst your ranks etc…..
Thank you for the display of power.
From now onwards, when citizens call for help due to buglary, be quick to respond.
Catch the thieves in the act and protect citizens.
Just as an advice to the police on the cloud control using water cannon….please add some additives to the water do not just splay demonstrators with clean water as if giving them a shower.
In other countries the police add colouring to the water so that they can catch violent culprits after demonstrations..
In Malawi we are blessed with chitedze , please mix water with chitedze to control violent demonstrations……
This will just invite more protest. People will come to taste the water canon just like the movies.
Za ziiiii. Having and showing off guns doesn’t mean shit. The police must be trusted, be professional, protect -not only with guns, but other policy deterrence means and ways.
