in Malawi: The Independent Police Complaints Commission.
Presentation made at the ICD Conference on Police Oversight
in Africa, 26-29 January 2004. A brief review is given
of the enactment of Malawi’s Constitution and democratic
government as well as the recommendations of the Law Commission
established in 1999 to investigate the reform of the police
through the creation of a new police act (including provision
to be made for: a new police organisational structure,
the Independent Police Complaints Commission and a Lay
Visitors Scheme amongst others). The Independent Police
Complaints Commission (IPCC), which at time of writing
was not yet operational, is briefly discussed in terms
of its mandate and the role of the Independent Police Complaints
Commissioner.
