Second Vice President Enock Chihana conducted a surprise inspection of the Regional Immigration Office in Mzuzu. He observed operations and spoke with staff and citizens awaiting passports, commending officers for their dedication under difficult conditions while also warning against corrupt practices.
Deputy Regional Immigration Officer George Chilomo reported that a new passport printing machine would be installed before the year's end. He also mentioned plans to decentralize data collection to district offices in Mzimba and Karonga to alleviate congestion. Officials identified ongoing challenges, including recurrent passport booklet shortages and unreliable network connectivity, which hinder operational efficiency. The visit was part of the Vice President's broader initiative to monitor public service delivery and ensure governmental accountability.
