Police arrest MEC driver for obstructing presidential convoy
Malawi Police in Blantyre have arrested a driver for Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) commissioner Linda Kunje on charges of obstructing a presidential convoy.
The driver, Jones Teres, driving the official MEC vehicle registration number MG 148 AK is said to have failed to give the right of way to president Lazarus Chakwera’s convoy on Thursday in Blantyre.
Kunje was on board when his driver allegedly failed to give way to the presidential convoy.
Chakwera was rushing to Chancellor College in Zomba for a graduation ceremony.
Both Chakwera and Kunje were safe.
Kunje has confirmed the arrest of the driver and has since described it as one way of persecuting her since she is associated with the former ruling Democratic Progressive Party.
Meanwhile, police are yet comment on the matter.

I doubt if she was told by traffic police that the president is coming or was there sign post to indicate that the president was passing
I understand both the driver and the bodyguard have testified that she instructed the driver not to give way. What a stupid thing to do, if true. The Tonse guys have been baying for her blood since June 23. Now she’s decided to give them an excuse. A big fat excuse! So much hubris! She will now quickly find out chinameta nkhanga m’pala.
Palibe nkhani apa… obstructing a Presidential motorcade is a serious crime bordering on bleaching Presidential security. They don’t clear the road for the sake of gaining time, but the obstructions compromise security for Head of State. Asakhwi inu.
The driver is a victim of circumstances, the real culprit is the MEC commissioner. It is very obvious that the driver was under instructions from his boss not to pave way to the presidential convoy. The police did nothing wrong to arrest the driver because that is the only way it can establish the motive behind the driver’s action in obstructing the presidential convoy.
Kunje you are a dog
zikukhala ngati kunjeyu amasetekedwa.
after the money spree and today still getting our monies
Kunje, politicising this issue sounds stupid of you. Of all the people on the road that time you think you are the only one supporting DPP? Stop wasting our time with your DPP. There are alot of civilised people who support DPP. Mulira mpaka liti?
Lazaro still wielding excessive power there. Servant leadership ija ndiimeneyi? Aneneri onyenga inu fotseki!
Let the law takes its course.
Kunje you’re against the new government because you know this very well & why you didn’t tell your driver not to? You’re an idiot & support your driver’s family. Mbuzi iwe kwabasi.
Even traffic offense people get arrested…
