Chitipa East MP Kezzie Msukwa to contest as MCP VP at convention

Chitipa East Constituency lawmaker Kezzie Msukwa has declared interest to contest as as first vice president for the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) at its elective convention.

MCP is scheduled to hold its elective conference from August 8-10 this year.

Msukwa, former Minister of lands is scheduled to face Speaker of Parliament Catherine Gotani Hara, Minister of Information Moses Kunkuyu and Vitumbiko Mumba on the post of MCP VP.

Speaking in an interview with the press Msukwa said he is an experienced politician who has served the party for long with loyalty and now time has come for him to occupy the party’s bigger area of jurisdiction by obtaining the party’s first Vice President position so that he should serve the president better.

Msukwa was fired as Minister of lands after it was alleged that he was involved in corruption scandal involving well-known businessman Zuneth Sattar.

The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) attempted to arrest him but he rushed to court to obtain an injunction against his arrest.
