The Malawi Police Service Commission has promoted 345 police officers to higher ranks in its latest round of staff restructuring.
Police spokesperson Peter Kalaya confirmed the development, stating that 67 of the promoted officers are in senior positions while 278 are junior officers.
He explained that the move was necessary to fill gaps left after previous promotions conducted earlier this year.
Kalaya added that the promotions are expected to boost morale among officers and improve efficiency in service delivery.
“The Malawi Police Service is an independent institution, and these promotions are purely based on organizational needs. They have nothing to do with the upcoming elections,” he said.
Recently, the commission also elevated more than 3,000 officers, signaling what authorities describe as a continued effort to strengthen the operational capacity of the police nationwide.
