President Lazarus Chakwera has warned people who use government resources or their influence to aid illegal immigrants into the country.
The warning comes barely a week after police arrested United Transformation Movement (UTM) Regional Secretary Jane Mbale on allegation of smuggling illegal immigrants.
“Whether you are a police officer, an Immigration officer or a politician, but you are abetting or aiding illegal immigrants, you will be dealt with.
“Some are using our vehicles; government vehicles to transport these illegal immigrants. I am telling you now and Paramount Chief Kyungu is my witness. That tendency should end now because we will deal with you,” Chakwera has said.
Mbale has since been suspended in UTM for the act.
