United Transformation Movement (UTM) President Dr. Dalitso Kabambe has called for the immediate firing of Inspector General of Malawi Police Service (MPS) Merlyne Yolamu over the recent spate of political violence ahead of the 2025 polls.

The call follows several incidents of violence in Lilongwe, Mponela in Dowa, Blantyre and Chikwawa against the opposition as well as those in government, including the President himself, but most perpetrators remain free.

In his speech Kabambe said the condemnation of the said incidents by President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera is not enough to end the political violence.

Kabambe said the Inspector General of Police has failed her duties for allowing armed youths to be attacking peaceful protestors in full view of the law enforcers.

“We as UTM demand for the immediate firing of Merlyne Yolamu. She has failed to protect Malawians,” said Kabambe while attracting ululations from UTM supporter.

Turning to the Affordable Input Program, Kabambe has demanded for the immediate firing of Minister of Agriculture Sam Dalitso Kawale for failing to manage the program.
