Wife to Malawi Police chief captured in MCP regalia

Wife of  Malawi Police chief Lexten Kachama has been captured with opposition Malawi Congress Party (MCP) members in party regalia suggesting she is partisan and behind the MCP.

Police officers are supposed to be apolitical and largely that translates to their spouses.

However, there is no law stopping spouses of law enforcing officers to belong to parties.

MCP officials say they see nothing wrong with Mrs Kachama wearing their party regalia let alone participate in their political activities.

But observers say this will raise “eyebrows.”

They argue that her political stance can compromise the neutrality of the police chief.
