Bwaila Media Club and Super Sakuwa Steel Limited Company renovates roof tops of two police houses at Mtsiriza in Lilongwe
Two flats roof tops remained open for years after wind damage and no immediate response was made by Police Department.
This forced Police officers who lived in the two houses to vacate to other places. But they can now return, thanks to a group of Journalists in the Central Region ‘Bwaila Media Club’ who facilitated the renovation of the two houses.
Bwaila Media Club facilitated the roofing materials which includes 100 iron sheets worth K3.8 million from Super Sakuwa Steel Limited company to renovate the houses.

“We are very thankful of this support. And we thank Bwaila Media Club for sourcing this donation from Super Sakuwa.” Said Senior Deputy Commissioner of Police, Officer In charge Quartermaster Leniford Kamphika
Kamphika explained that immediately when officers relocated far from the houses, the police experienced number of challenges especially when such officers were needed for urgent matters.
“With the renovation, officers will be together at this camp and whenever there is need they will be called at a short notice as a result it will have an impact on the crime prevention and detection” said Kamphika

Sales Executive for Super Sakuwa Steel Limited company, Enoch Chithonje said Super Sakuwa supported Bwaila Media Club in renovating the houses because their company understand important role Police play in the society.
“For Police officers to effectively work they need good accommodation, and as partners in development we know we can work as a team in developing our country by support our Police” said Chithonje
Bwaila Media Club Chairperson Peter Makawa said the media has role to play in society apart from writing news.
“As media practitioners, we know our job is basically to report issues that are affecting the society, but we should not only limit our self to that but we can as well reach out to people and support those that are in need.
We saw that those police officers who were affected they were in need. We waited to see how police was going to react and we all saw that these houses were taking long to be roofed again. So we decided to approach Super Sakuwa Steel Limited to support Police by roofing these houses.” He said
“We know that when police officers are together at one place they can quickly respond to any call that requires their action” said Makawa while adding that the group also wanted to ensure that police officers live in good and decent houses in Lilongwe.
