Parliament calls for speed in moving of Immigration headquarters to Lilongwe

The Parliamentary international Relations Committee has asked government to fast track the moving of immigration head office from Blantyre to Capital City Lilongwe.

According to Victor Musowa, Chairperson of the Committee, government arranged to move the Headquarters to Lilongwe first quarter of this financial year but no work is being done to move the Office.

Speaking to MIJ Online Musowa said it is important that the Head office be located in the capital city Lilongwe since it is the central place for all regions.

He appealed to the ministry of lands to begin the processes of identifying a new Office since the one in Lilongwe is not in good shape.

On his part, Brigadier General Charles Kalumo retired, Director General for Immigration said the process to move the Headquarters should indeed be hastened as Lilongwe is the capital and is strategically positioned.
