Human rights activist Charles Kajoloweka has said repeated allegations by Mulanje South West lawmaker, George Chaponda, that Malawi Congress Party (MCP) is training party militias as its paramilitary wing at Mtakataka Police Training School in Dedza should no longer be taken with a pinch of salt but rather be fodder enough for national security authorities to seriously probe the matter saying it is no longer a joke.
In his contribution to the Mid-Year Budget Review in the National Assembly, Chaponda who has been named as Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation in the opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) shadow cabinet announced Friday by Speaker Catherine Gotani Hara, said MCP had devised a number of strategies to revert the country back to the one-party state and that recruitment of the party’s youth into government security agencies is one of them.

The purported investigative report, currently trending on various social media platforms, alleges that the first cohort entered the training school on 7 March 2021 and underwent a six training on how to use firearms. The second cohort started training on 4 April.
“The report seeks to share with Malawians, whose tax is being wasted by the Chakwera-led government in training of MCP youths as militias (Special Police), for this is against the laws of Malawi and poses security threat to the neighboring countries, donor communities, the intelligence agency, Malawi Army, Malawi Police and the citizens at large,” it says.
