DPP’s Mzomera convicted for obtaining money using corrupt means
Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Regional Governor for the North, Christopher Nzomera Ngwira, has been convicted by the courts in a case he was answering, pertaining to abuse of Constituency Development Funds (CDF) funds.
The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has successfully prosecuted the case in which it acused Ngwira of presenting invoices from YOGI and Mzimba Hardware on pretext that they had supplied building materials for Lukwelukwe School Project which is funded under Local Development Fund (LDF) under M’mbelwa District Council.
ACB conducted investigations into the matter and established that Ngwira advised the Project Management Committee (PMC) members to sign blank withdrawal slips and told them not to indicate the total amount to be withdrawn. He later indicated K650, 000 on the withdraw form.
Ngwira committed an offence under Section 27 (2) of the Corrupt Practices Act (CPA) in that he used his influence as Member of Parliament to award a contract for the construction of Lukwelukwe Teacher’s House project under the LDF programme to Louis Mtonga of Taonga Shopping Centre in Mzimba which was supposed to be done by the Project Management Committee.
The former MP is also suspected to have committed an offence under Section 271 (2) (e) of the Penal Code in that he on August 2, 2010 at new Building Society (NBS) branch in Mzimba, converted for his own use, money amounting to K650, 000 meant for Lukwelukwe Teacher’s House Project under the LDF programme.
Senior Magistrate in Mzimba is set to pronounce his sentenced.

Chala mmwamba chala mmwamba in the picture. Watheka basi.
KUKWEZA CHALA CHIFUKWA CHA KUBA
I salute the people of Mzimba from the constituency this thief had stolen. If we had the kind of these people in all constituences in Malawi, many MPs and councillors would have been similarly convicted. They all used this theiving strategy without delivery or where they delivered, it was on inflated prices with substandard work. Fools!!
To prison he goes!
DPP trash
He was shielded under DPP lero awona Nyekhwe……. its a new day!!
Well done ACB but how come Choonara and Mbilizi are free
DPP ndi akatundu womanga ndi mawaya when it comes to kusolora.
No wonder elections were tippexed.
Kodi ACB ntchito yawo ndi kumanga anthu okuba ma thousands. APM, Getrude, and others with billions. What impact will 100,000 Will have to economy.
We are making room kaye ku Maula for those who stole billions
Remember this case started before the demise of Bingu wa Mutharika. This means the case is being disposed of. Hence, at that time K650,000 was a substantial amount of money. If this was to be compared to present time, it may be in millions. At the same time this is good for ACB as they are clearing the backlog of cases.
No wonder he was stuck with DPP for protection
What goes around comes around. You exit government expect the same to happen to you. Everything shall be scrutinised including purchase of office paper clips.
K650,000 !!! Looks little money to me.
Little money, but that’s what they know about. He probably started with 10000 and then 100000, and next could have been more.
The crime does not look at the amount kuba ndi kuba basi even if it was one tambala. If you you obtain anything illegally ndiwe mbava basi you need to pay for it
Olo pa 6 July amayamba kuvina ma gule aang’ono. Gule wamkulu amabwera pomaliza
But then where is Teacher’s House?
Poor thinking! No government money is little money! If ten people were involved and each stole the same amount what would it total? Besides, this case surfaced during Peter Mutharika’s time.
