NBM gives security cameras to BT Police

By Linda Kwanjana

National Bank of Malawi (NBM) Plc has donated five security cameras worth K8.1 million to Blantyre Police as they plan to enhance security in the city.

Earlier this year, Blantyre Police launched an initiative to install surveillance cameras in Blantyre City.

Speaking during the handover ceremony at the bank’s head office in Blantyre on Wednesday, NBM Chief Financial Officer, Masauko Katsala said the Bank is geared to collaborate more with the Malawi Police Service (MPS) to help them carry out their duties effectively.

”As ‘The Bank of the Nation’ we are very much aware that security and peace is one of the prerequisites for conducting business, so, we cannot run business effectively or successfully if there is no security and peace, therefore security comes as a priority,” said Katsala.

Blantyre Police Officer-in-Charge, Deputy Commissioner of Police Obrey Nyirenda expressed gratitude to NBM for the donation saying it will go a long way towards the drive of combating crime in the city.

“We are moving in the right direction though we haven’t yet installed the CCTV cameras in Blantyre CBD, we have procured and secured some of the gadgets, so as we are now receiving this donation we know that our drive towards crime and traffic management will be done in a manner that we want it to be to make Blantyre a secure city,” said Nyirenda.

He however assured residents that cameras will not be used to infringe on people’s rights but for security surveillance purposes only.

Blantyre Police plans to plant about 50 cameras in the city to monitor every hotspot area rolling out in the next two months.

AFORD leader Enock Chihana trashes DPP come back

By Linda Kwanjana

Alliance for Democracy(AFORD) President Enock Chihana says Malawians can no longer have the appetite to vote for former ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) in 2025 general elections describing the party as lacking moral economic value.

Speaking during Anti-Same sex marriages protests in Lilongwe , Chihana argued that DPP was tried and the country almost became a war zone.

The AFORD leader claimed his party has solutions to the myriad economic challenges the current administration is grappling with including the highly billed but politically bruised Affordable Inputs Program (AIP) that has recently been soiled in endless scandals.

Chihana, whose party was part of the governing Tonse Alliance, mantains AFORD has never been tested but has what it takes to rescue the country he labels a ‘titanic sinking ship’.

On the AIP, he brags about having vast knowledge in issues of fertilizer, attributing the current program mess to poor planning.

Chihana further backed the Thursday anti-homosexuality protests that happened across the country, describing the development as the right thing to do and that democracy should prevail.

“As a party, we have made it clear that we don’t support same sex marriages. Our cultural and political values are against same sex marriages. A marriage is between a man and a woman, that’s all,” explained Chihana.

The AFORD leader concluded by telling journalists that no visitors can change the country’s cultural values hence those involved in the malpractice should stop.
