Inspector Harriet Khwengwe drumming up for DPP

LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-Against the rules, a recognizable female police officer, Inspector Harriet Khwengwe has defied the odds by plunging her feet into the hurl-burly of political campaign, courtesy of the governing Democratic Progressive Party (DPP).

In a video clip gone viral on social media, the law enforcer is captured in a door to door campaign in Nsanje Lalanje constituency, persuading eligible voters to vote for the DPP parliamentary aspiring candidate in the May 21 elections, Gladys Ganda.

In the video clip, the police lady is heard  downplaying Ganda’s rival on Malawi Congress Party (MCP) ticket, Lawrence Sitolo who is a also the seating Member of Parliament.

Sources have confided to this publication that the police lady who also Ganda’s close friend is among the DPP trusted cadets hiding in the civil service but now gone loose in the face of the heated campaign.

 

The rules normally bar civil servants especially especially law enforcers from participating in any political activities hence the need to exercise neutrality.

BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-The governing Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) on Friday cancelled the Blue Day march which was scheduled to start at 8am today in Blantyre.
DPP Southern Region governor, Charles Mchacha  confirmed the cancellation of the blue night to the Nation Newspaper.
By 8:33am there was no DPP member at the Kamuzu Upper Stadium, the proposed starting point for the march, instead, there was a heavy presence of police officers.
According to Mchacha, the DPP cancelled the march because  “they want to give a chance to CSOs to march and also to allow the voter registration exercise to go on uninterrupted.”
Mchacha feigned ignorance of the CSOs’ march being cancelled.
The police officers were however still being ferried in strategic points.
One officer told the paper that they have not been told that the march has been cancelled.
