DPP’s Mzomera slapped with four years jail sentence

The Mzimba senior resident magistrate has sentenced Democratic progressive party regional governor for the north Reverend Christopher Ngwira to four years imprisonment for abuse of office in the use of local development funds.

Passing judgement Senior Resident Magistrate Mathews Msiska said the sentence is meant to deter other public offices from abusing money from public coffers.
