In an effort meant to support security drives in Blantyre, the CDH Investment Bank has donated K2 million to Blantyre Police Station for the procurement and installation of CCTV equipment.
Speaking to MIJ Online, Ivy Kwatiwani, CDH Investment Bank, Chief Human Capital and Development Officer, said CDH Investment Bank decided to support the Blantyre Police Station as the bank appreciates the role the station delivers in providing safety and security for individuals and businesses in the country.
Kwatiwani stated that the CCTV cameras will improve the quality of security services for our nation, on top of what is already being done, through the ability to monitor and assist combating robberies and other criminal offences.
“We are committed to helping businesses to grow and we are confident that our donation will enhance the services delivered by Blantyre Police Station as the CCTV will allow them to monitor and enhance safety and security measures in our city and benefit our nation.”
According to Blantyre Police Station, Station Traffic Officer, Superintendent Jackson Silungwe, the support by the bank is timely.
”This has come quite handy for us. We did not have CCTV cameras prior to now and the support will help individuals and businesses to operate without fear of criminals” said Silungwe.
Lately, Blantyre has been faced with insecurities, a situation that has triggered this effort by the police.
So far, according to Silungwe, they intend to roll out the use of the camera by at least the end of the year.
