The Malawi Police Service (MPS) has rejected claims that it has trained and recruited 60 ruling party cadets.

MPS spokesperson James Kadadzera rejected the claims in a statement today released jointly with Registrar of the High Court Agness Patemba.

The report which circulated on social media claimed that the party cadets were trained at Mtakataka Police Training School in Dedza.
