Homeland Security Minister Peter Mukhito begins a four-day tour of Malawi’s Northern Region to inspect ministry departments and related development and security work. He starts the visit in Karonga on Monday morning with Deputy Minister Norman Chisale, examining government facilities and security operations.

According to reports, the tour is aimed at scrutinising how services are delivered and how security arrangements are carried out across the region. Coverage from different outlets describes the inspection as a “blitz” focused on security operations, relevant infrastructure projects, and performance of departments under the ministry.

The outlets also differ slightly in the details highlighted during the opening day. One report notes Mukhito inspects multiple government facilities, while another specifies that the tour includes a visit to the Department of Immigration as part of the initial inspections. Both accounts describe a structured start in Karonga and a planned continuation over the four-day period.
