The issues at the municipal council date back  to May when  councillors and chiefs mobilised communities to throw out Misomali from office for alleged financial mismanagement and poor administration.

Mayor for Luchenza  Harold Kaliwo  said councillors  demanded CEO Misomali, director of Public Works Charles Makiyi and chief accountant Chinthengo out of the council.

“These people have been abusing their offices, they have been stealing from the council.and they absent themselves from work as they please,” said Kaliwo.

He said the ward councillors and other council members penned  the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development to remove the three officials as a matter of urgency.

Misomali said the ward councillors are going out of boundary in their work, saying they want to be doing the job of the secretariat and the council offiocials have been repelling this.

The ministry has since cracked the whip on Misomali, sending him on forced leave.

Spokesperson OF Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development Muhlabse Mughogho confirme  that a letter of forced leave for Misomali was served to the municipal council.

Mughogho said the forced leave  will allow  “investigations” into issue of abuse of office.

The councillors accused the CEO of absentism which they said causes late funding as the councillors have not received their monthly allowances for two months now.
