Mangochi lawmaker accuses Tonse Alliance MPs of rejecting Chizuma

Member of Parliament for Mangochi South West Justin Majawa has claimed that Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) is not against the appointment of Martha Chizuma as the new Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) Director General.

He alleges that it is Tonse Alliance MPs who are not interested in confirming Chizuma.

He said DPP only has a representation of five MPs in PAC while the majority members of PAC are from the Tonse Alliance.

Majawa made the claims when he stood on point of order regarding the motion moved by leader of the House Richard Chimwendo Banda who is also Minister of Homeland Security demanding well detailed report on Chizuma’s rejection.

Meanwhile Parliament has adopted a motion compelling Public Appointments Committee (PAC) to provide a detailed report on reasons it has rejected Martha Chizuma.
