Dust is refusing to settle in Mwanza as members of the community at Thambani are still protesting against operations of security and immigration officers there accusing them of receiving bribes from foreign nationals for them to enter and leave the country without proper documentation.
Over the recent weeks, the irate villagers have protested against the agencies, a series of events that led to the stealing of a gun from one police officers as the two sides clashed.
In an interview with MIJ Online, Senior Chief Govati said the communities are justified because they witness the incidents in which the agents do not search truck carrying unknown goods often operating under various foreign transportation companies.
‘’We have been reporting such incidents to police officers. Unfortunately, our concerns have not been addressed. We are also learning that the officers are acquiring bribes to ensure that these goods enter and leave the country without being searched as it were,’’ said Govati.
Police authorities are however yet to comment on the matter. Officials at Thambani Police Unit kept telling this reporter that they were engaged with other duties.
Meanwhile, MIJ Online has been informed that officers at the station are receiving transfers orders to now discharge their duties at Limbe and Blantyre police stations.
