Speaking during the swearing-in ceremony at Kamuzu Palace in Lilongwe, Chakwera said the nation has put on their shoulders a crucial responsibility of upholding justice, fairness, and accountability within NIS operations, arguing that this is not an easy task by any stretch of the imagination.<\/p>\n

Although intelligence was formally delinked from the Malawi Police Service in 2000, where it was called the Security and Intelligence Service, its politicisation continued. And so, today, we have entrusted you to see to it that this legacy of political compromise does not continue, for the NIS exists to serve all Malawians, not any political agenda,\u201d he said. The law established the NIS as an independent state institution that reports to the President according to Section 3 of the Act.<\/p>\n
