Malawi passport crisis: Immigration officer Rowland Brown nailed for MK300,000 bribe

Posted on by admin

LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-A dramatic turn of events unfolded at the Immigration Department in Lilongwe, as Rowland Brown, an immigration officer, was arrested for allegedly scamming a client MK300, 000.

The arrest was made possible by a surprise visit from Deputy Minister of Homeland Security, Norman Chisale, who had received a tip about corrupt practices within the department.

Chisale’s visit was a bolt out of the blue, aimed at catching officers off guard and rooting out corruption.

And it seems his efforts paid off, as Brown was caught red-handed, leading to his immediate arrest.

This bold move by the Deputy Minister sends a strong message that corruption will no longer be tolerated in the Immigration Department.

The arrest has been met with jubilation, with many seeing it as a step in the right direction towards eradicating corruption in public institutions.

The public is eager to see more of such actions, and for those involved in corrupt practices to face the music.

The Immigration Department has been plagued by allegations of corruption, with many claiming that officers are more interested in lining their pockets than serving the people.

Brown’s arrest is a clear indication that the authorities are serious about stamping out this menace.

The Deputy Minister’s actions are a testament to his commitment to fighting corruption and promoting transparency.

His bravery in taking on corrupt officials is commendable, and we hope that this is just the beginning of a long and fruitful war against corruption.

The case has sparked widespread interest, with many calling for more stringent measures to tackle corruption.

The public is watching, and it’s time for institutions to take concrete actions to restore trust and faith in the system.

As the case unfolds, one thing is clear: corruption will no longer be tolerated, and those involved will face the full force of the law.

The people of Malawi demand accountability, and it’s time institutions delivered.

Way forward

The arrest of Rowland Brown is a victory for the people, and a reminder that together, we can create a corruption-free Malawi.

Let’s keep the momentum going and ensure that those who abuse their power are brought to book.

This is just the beginning of a new chapter in Malawi’s fight against corruption.

Let’s make sure it’s a chapter that ends with a corruption-free nation, where institutions serve the people, not their own interests.

Posted on by admin

BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-Petroleum Importers Limited (PIL), has stepped in to support government efforts to address food insecurity by donating fuel worth K400 millionto the Office of the President and Cabinet (OPC) for the Lean Season Food ResponseProgramme.

The donation is intended to support the transportation and distribution of relief food to hunger-affected households across the country.

The support comes at a time when government, through the Department of Disaster Management Affairs (DoDMA), continues to implement the National Lean Season Food Insecurity Response Plan, which focuses on addressing immediate, life-saving needs while also replenishing national food stocks.

Speaking during the handover ceremony, PIL Vice Chairperson Zubeir Bhana said the fuel contribution was made in response to the government’s declaration of a state of disaster in several districts following severe food shortages experienced last year.

“We wish to affirm our solidarity with the people of Malawi. This country is our home, and when it is in distress, we have a responsibility to act,” said Bhana.

He said the fuel will enhance the government’s ability to reach vulnerable populations, including communities in hard-to-reach areas, ensuring the timely delivery of humanitarian assistance.

“This fuel will enable the transportation of essential food supplies to affected communities. It is our contribution to keeping relief efforts moving and hope alive,” he explained.

He urged fellow private sector players, development partners, and well-wishers to partner with the government in responding to the emergency.

Receiving the donation, Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet , Dr Justin Saidi, commended PIL for the timely support, saying the private sector has demonstrated strong commitment to complementing government efforts in responding to hunger.

“ We thank Petroleum Importers Limited for the generous and timely contribution towards the food insecurity response programme. This donation will greatly facilitate the efficient movement and distribution of humanitarian food to food-insecure households across the country,” said Saidi.

He added that the support from a local private sector player is a strong demonstration of togetherness, solidarity, and shared responsibility in achieving national aspirations such as food security and poverty reduction, as outlined in Malawi 2063.

The Response Plan requires an estimated MK209.4 billionto address all needs across the prioritized clusters out of which MK138 billionhas been mobilized from government and partners, with the remaining MK71 billion stillto be mobilized.

PIL is a consortium of four oil marketing companies namely Puma Energy, TotalEnergies, Vivo Energy and Petroda

….Beat Egypt 4-2 on penalties..

CASABLANCA-(MaraviPost)-Nigeria have finished the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in third place after edging past seven time champions Egypt 4–2 on penalties following a goalless draw in the third place playoff.

The encounter, played on Saturday evening in Morocco, was a tightly contested affair with both sides struggling to break the deadlock in regulation time. E

gypt and Nigeria created half chances but solid defending and disciplined goalkeeping ensured the match ended 0–0, forcing a penalty shootout to decide the bronze medal.

In the shootout, Nigeria showed greater composure from the spot. The Super Eagles converted four of their penalties, while Egypt missed two, handing Nigeria a deserved victory and confirming their place on the AFCON 2025 podium.

Nigeria’s goalkeeper emerged as one of the key figures of the night, making crucial saves that swung the momentum in favour of the West Africans.

For Nigeria, the result caps off a strong campaign, especially after narrowly missing out on a place in the final. Finishing third adds another respectable achievement to their rich AFCON history and reinforces their reputation as one of Africa’s most consistent footballing nations.

Egypt, meanwhile, had to settle for fourth place despite their experience and pedigree in the competition. The Pharaohs will reflect on missed opportunities in both the semi final and the third place match as they look ahead to future tournaments.

The AFCON 2025 final is scheduled for Sunday with hosts Morocco facing Senegal.
