Kabwila, Njobvuyalema yet to be called for MCP disciplinary hearing

Opposition Malawi Congress Party  (MCP)spokesperson Jessie Kabwila and another senior party member Joseph Njobvuyalema are yet to appear before the party disciplinary committee, months after they were suspended.

Both Kabwila and Njobvuyalema were suspended by party president Lazarus Chakwera on allegations that they hired people to torch the party headquarters in Lilongwe.

Deputy secretary general Eisenhower Mkaka said the two would be dragged to the committee soon.

“The committee met first and very soon it will be calling them to hear their side of the story as natural justice demands,” he said.

Kabwila and Njobvuyalema denies the allegations.

On Sunday, Chakwera said the suspensions and sacking of senior party members is part of his party rebuilding exercise

. He fired senior party members Felix Jumbe and Chatinkha Chidzanja Nkhoma.

However, Chatinkha has got court relief after obtaining an injunction restraining the party from expelling her.
