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.

Norman Chisale’s loyalty on full display: Bodyguard keeps word to Mutharika

BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-In a striking display of loyalty, Norman Chisale, former head of President Arthur Peter Mutharika’s security detail, was spotted bodyguarding the president at the Malawi Armed Forces College in Salima, despite being replaced by Brigadier Thomas Kwitanda. This comes after Chisale’s bold declaration to protect Mutharika “till death”.

At the commissioning ceremony for 122 Malawi Defence Force officers, Chisale was seen directing security, a role typically reserved for assigned personnel.

This has sparked debate about protocol and potential conflicts of interest, given Chisale’s new role as a Member of Parliament.

Mutharika, who appointed Kwitanda as his new bodyguard, hasn’t publicly addressed Chisale’s actions.

The incident highlights the complexities of loyalty, power, and accountability in Malawi’s political landscape.

Chisale’s presence underscores the strong bond between him and Mutharika, with some critics arguing it blurs lines between personal loyalty and official duty.

As investigations into Chisale’s activities continue, his commitment to Mutharika’s safety remains unshaken.
