In a shocking development, Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Vice President for the Central Region, Right Hon. Alfred Gangata, has been arrested by Kanengo Police and is currently being held at Kanengo Police Station.
According to police spokesperson Peter Kalaya, Gangata handed himself over to the police after learning that they were looking for him.
Kalaya revealed that Gangata’s arrest is connected to his MSCE certificate, which is believed to have been obtained illegally.
Investigations have shown that Gangata obtained his certificate in 2018 at Chitowe Community Day Secondary School in Dedza, allegedly as an external candidate.
However, police have discovered that Gangata never enrolled at the school.
Kalaya stated that more arrests are expected, particularly those who aided Gangata in obtaining the certificate. Gangata is expected to appear in court today or tomorrow, once the police have completed their caution statement.
The DPP has described the arrest as politically motivated.
This development has sent shockwaves through the political establishment, with many calling for transparency and clarity on the reasons behind Gangata’s detention.
