The Top most Boss in the Malawi Police Service
Since Joyce Banda became the Chief of the Malawi Police Services, the home security system has been compromised and turned a feast for robbers, corrupters, rapist and thugs putting lives of Malawians and foreigners at a great risk as well affecting the business community with possibilities of slowing down economic development.

There is need for the state President as the Chief of the police with the Inspector General to do something as this is posing a big threat to Malawians.

The Observers.
