MEC Truck Offloads Materials Illegally

Malawi Electoral Commission MEC has dispelled rumours that its truck was seen offloading materials illegally before arriving at its destination at Karonga District Council.

According to MEC Director of Media and Public Relations Sangwani Mwafulirwa the van, registration number TPE32 successfully delivered material to the council on Saturday, December 29, 2018 ahead of the voter verification exercise scheduled to commence on January 5, 2019.

Mwafulirwa said on the way back the driver stopped at a Total Service Station to refuel the vehicle and while there a used seal dropped.

“Social media has speculated that the van was dropping out some materials illegally to the jeopardy of the ongoing electoral process,” said Mwafulirwa.

The Commission has advised the general public to refrain from feeding the electorate with fake stories.

Mwafulirwa says all electoral stakeholders are encouraged to verify matters first before throwing in their weight behind such fake stories.
