The Deputy Inspector General of Police responsible for operations, Stain Chaima, has issued a stern warning to all Traffic and Regional Operations officers against engaging in corrupt practices.

Speaking on Tuesday during an interface meeting with Regional Operations and Traffic Officers on matters of traffic management and roadblocks, Chaima emphasized that corruption severely tarnishes the image of the Malawi Police Service (MPS) and erodes public trust.

He specifically condemned reports alleging that some traffic officers solicit bribes from motorists, warning that such conduct will not be tolerated.

“Corruption has no place in the Police Service. Officers found engaging in such acts will face disciplinary and legal action,” Chaima warned.

The Deputy IG further urged officers to uphold professionalism, integrity, and discipline in the execution of their duties to restore public confidence in the MPS.
