Chipata District Commissioner, Kalunga Zulu says he is concerned with the increase in the number of illegal immigrants from Malawi, who are trading in Chipata.
Mr. Zulu says that a lot of Malawians have found business opportunities in Chipata Town and are staying in Zambia without any proper documentation or permits.
He was speaking this morning during the DDCC, District Development Coordinating Committee meeting in Chipata.
Mr. Zulu says that there is need for concerted efforts among authorities from the immigration department, the National Registration Office and the police to agree on how to stop illegal immigrants from entering the Zambia.
And Mr. Zulu has challenged the Prisons and Immigration departments to start attending DDCC meetings so that they give statistics of how many illegal immigrants they are arresting.
