Some motorists have blocked the Mzimba Manyamula earth road protesting against’s the decision by police officers in the district to be mounting a roadblock on the earth road.

The protests are coming following a recent incident in which a mother lost a child who was very sick, after police officers manning a roadblock on the road, could not let a car they were in pass before paying a fine.

Leader of the motorists Charles Chisi says they want the roadblock to be removed and officers to stop collecting K10000 from drivers.

Chisi said they will present their petition at Mzimba police to register their disappointment with the officers misconduct on this road.

Meanwhile the Malawi Human Rights Commission (MHRC) has commenced investigations into what happened for the traffic police to detain a vehicle which was carrying a sick child who eventually died at Mtambalika road block in the district.
