Citizen Petition to President Lazarus Chakwera to Remove Ken Zikhale Ng'oma as Minister of Homeland Security.

We, the undersigned citizens and people of good will  under #ZATIKWANA Campaign, urgently call for the immediate removal of Ken Zikhale Ng'oma as Minister of Homeland Security. Under his tenure, the Immigration Department, which falls under his ministry, has been plagued by long-running inefficiencies that have caused immense suffering for countless Malawians, particularly women and youth.

For far too long, the Immigration Department has failed to fulfill its fundamental duty of providing timely and efficient passport services. Hundreds of Malawians are forced to endure the indignity of spending nights outside the Immigration Department's offices, desperately waiting for their passports to be issued. This dire situation is unacceptable and must be addressed with immediate action.

The inefficiencies within the Immigration Department have not only caused unnecessary hardships but have also impeded the ability of our citizens to travel for work, education, medical treatment, and other essential purposes. Women and youth, who are already among the most vulnerable groups in our society, bear the brunt of this negligence. Their dreams and aspirations are being shattered due to the incompetence and lack of accountability within the Ministry of Homeland Security.

We demand the following actions:

1. Immediate Removal of Ken Zikhale Ng'oma: We call for the immediate dismissal of Ken Zikhale Ng'oma as Minister of Homeland Security. His continued presence in this position only exacerbates the suffering of Malawians and perpetuates the inefficiencies within the Immigration Department.

2. Appointment of a Competent Director General: We urge the government to expedite appointment of a competent and accountable Director General to oversee the Immigration Department following the departure of Mr Kalumo. This new DG  must prioritize the needs of the citizens and ensure that the Immigration Department operates efficiently and effectively.

3. Immediate Reforms in the Immigration Department: We demand immediate and comprehensive reforms within the Immigration Department to address the systemic issues causing delays and inefficiencies. This among others includes combating corruption, increasing staff, improving processes, and implementing technology to streamline operations.

4. Accountability and Transparency: We call for greater accountability and transparency within the Ministry of Homeland 

Security. Regular reports on the progress of reforms and the status of passport issuance must be made available to the public.

We, the people of Malawi, deserve better. We deserve a government that works tirelessly to meet our needs and uphold our rights. We cannot and will not accept the continued suffering caused by the inefficiencies of the Immigration Department.

Join us in demanding the removal of Ken Zikhale Ng'oma as Minister of Homeland Security. Sign this petition and let your voice be heard. Together, we can bring about the change that Malawi urgently needs.

Sign the Petition Now!

By signing this petition, you are taking a stand for justice, efficiency, and accountability. Let us unite to ensure that the voices of Malawians are heard and that our leaders are held accountable for their actions. The time for change is now!
