Breaking the news to the reporter, Executive Director of the agency Pastor Moses Phiri flanked by his Secretary Francis Antonio said his organisation has been receiving calls from the general public to the campaign launched in other parts of the country.

“We have been receiving numerous calls from the general public asking us to launch the campaign in their areas of residence,” said Pr. Phiri while his secretary nodded in agreement.

Antonio added that is the duty of their agency to see to it that by the year 2010, Malawi should be free from illegal fire arms and small weapons. He note that in country where there is lack of security, development retards.

“That is why we want to launch the campaign in Area 36 next week. After that we are going somewhere else. We want to sensitize the masses on the need to report anyone who possesses illegal firearms or any other dangerous weapons,” said Antonio.
