The Lilongwe City Council has warned against selling cars and displaying vehicles for hire in undesignated areas saying the act is prohibited according to the by-laws governing the council.
This has been revealed in a letter addressed to all car sellers and car hire signed by the Council’s Acting Chief Executive Officer Vitto P.V. Mulula.
Mulala has requested car sellers to adhere to the by-laws and liaise with the council officials to direct them to proper designated car sites where such types of business are acceptable.
“It is in this respect that you are being requested to stop displaying your vehicles for sale and hiring along the streets by 19th July, 2022,” Mulula said.
Mulula has further warned that failing to do as requested, the Council will be compelled to exercise its powers to remove any vehicle found on display for sale and hiring along the streets.
“The council shall not be held responsible for any damage that may occur during the operation,” Mulula warned.
