Commentators are urging for the dismissal of officials overseeing the President’s security.
On January 19, 2024, a funeral procession in Ndirande township was seen to have obstructed the presidential convoy at HHI roundabout as President Lazarus Chakwera headed to Chileka International Airport.
The Malawi Police Service has meanwhile arrested two individuals suspected of orchestrating the act.
Meanwhile, Lucky Mbewe, a social commentator has criticized the security detail for failing to detect and prevent the disruption.
Mbewe condemned those responsible for the commotion, emphasizing the President’s right to respect in any situation.
He advised people with issues against the leadership to express their concerns through the ballot in the 2025 elections.
Mbewe went on to call for the dismissal of the President’s security personnel due to what he describes as negligence.
