Dont trust DPP the arrest of Chimbanga means the party is still unchanged

By Linda Kwanjana


On 14 December, 2023, Police in Chileka arrested Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Councillor for Soche Ward in Blantyre Leonard Chimbanga for allegedly being found in possession of an illegal firearm and two live ammunition.

South west region deputy police publicist Beatrice Mikuwa confirmed about the arrest of Chimbanga with a pistol and the two bullets.

Chimbanga is expected to appear in court soon to answer all charges leveled against him.



DPP IMPUNITY BLOOD SHED

This is not the first time for this party called DPP to be associated with weapons such as guns.

There was a time when Peter Mutharika former personal assistant Ben Phiri was addressing a rally. Just with him DPP cadets were busy giving him personal security wielding panga knives and guns but when governance experts queried about this behaviour Phiri lied to Malawians that he did not know the people.

Phiri said they came at the rally in their personal capacity and not as invited guests.

Again every time DPP has a big function its normal to see their cadets weild guns, pangas and machetes intimidating people.

Its is the same people who hacked Billy Mayaya during Civil Society organisation demonstrations in Blantyre.

So what people are seeing today is the manifestation of truth that DPP is a party of killers and people who do not respect the principle of rule of law.

The cadets used to buy cars but never paid duty to Government. Their duty was called ‘Ana Adadi’.
