Mzomera says ‘marked for arrest’ as DPP’s Big Joe in for violence at Chakwera’s 2016 rally
Main opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) regional governor (North) Reverend Christopher Mzomera Ngwira says he risks being arrested after Malawi Police Services in Mzuzu on Tuesday arrested DPP deputy director of operations Joe Nyirongo for allegedly being part of the gang that attacked solidarity rally for the then opposition leader Lazarus Chakwera [now Head of State] in March 2016.
Chakwera co-addressed the rally with other opposition party leaders at Chibavi Primary School ground in the northern city.
The DPP cadres produced pangas and turned violent, injuring some people and some vehicles smashed.
Nyirongo, popularly known as Big Joe in Mzuzu is said to have masterminded the bloody attack.
He has been arrested alongside George Mwamitobe, Lumbani Munthalu and Thembisile Nkosi, according to Northern Region Police spokesperson Peter Kalaya.
He said all the suspectes have been charged with an offence of “proposing violence.”
Kalaya said police have other files for ‘Big Joe’ on his alleged involvement in robbery cases and will charge him accordingly in due course.
DPP regional governor for the North Christopher Mzomera Ngwira said the arrests are “politically motivated” meant to weaken the erstwhile ruling party.
“I have been tipped that they will also arrest me. They want to instill fear and panic in DPP members,” claimed Ngwira.
He said despite the threats, DPP will give President Chakwera and his Tonse Alliance government checks and balances.
Ngwira whose party was criticised for being nepotistic and tribalistic when it was in government, said MCP is repeating the same things that Malawians have been fighting against.
We are afraid that we will suffer even more under the MCP government. Instead of impressing, MCP has clearly shown that it is tribalistic,” claimed Ngwira.
MCP spokesperson, the Reverend Maurice Munthali said the new government is clearing the rubble that DPP left Malawi into ruins.

I hate the man called Mzomela
Kodi constituency development fund munaba ija akakufunani muzitinso akufuna kukukhazikani chete. Mumasimbwa kuiwala udindo wanu. Pano anzanu akufuna akuonetseni chilungamo. Munasowa chisoni palibe akumvereni chisoni.
Pamsana pako pumbwa iwe
MCP will never change.
Complete misuse of police. How many MCP members have been arrested for perpetrating violence. This is a JOKE
Good, kumpoto manganinsoni kamzomera komweka limodzi ndi ka Kamlepo(mbava zikuluzikulu izi) plus chi Vuwa Kaunda
Nothing Credible can come from the mouth of Ngwira. He is just another Crook and deserves to be arrested. What about his bankcruptcy case, PP vehicle etc. He is no different from others that have been arrested, he just fits into DPP thugs and crooks!!!!
This man is the most crook and useless in the North. Don’t bring your useless propaganda here. In fact the Tonse Alliance has favored the North since the inception of the multi party. Considering the number of people who voted, the North is not even half compared to the Central Region but we eight ministers against thirteen from the Central Region. I am a pure Tumbuka just close to where this Mzomera abandoned his church to pursue his crooked ways. This Mzomera and his DPP regime should cheat people who are ignorant of their ways. Today the country is in a mess because of people like Mzomera. Wherever there is money, they will go.
Please our policemen clean our country by arresting all these criminals.
Kodi za bankruptcy zija basi zinatha ndi zakumba CDF fund anakwililika ma file? ankolo munalidi mu Boma inu
Have you really been tipped off or it’s just your past sins? Either way, anyone who wronged in the past, be it you, agogo or anyone else, will have to face the music, period. NYEKHWE.
Kamunthu kabodza aka
Spare noone, be it peter or his wife arrest them. People were prisoned for stealing chickens how about big guns? Whether its 100000 people let it be for they felt no sympathy for us so why should we? Magani mbazo zose ku maula, mzimba and more inmates are waiting.
let the long arm of the law spare no one
There is a good reason why God created tribes and races. (I would hate to live in a country with no tribes and race)
what has the issue of Mzomera got to do with tribes? dull thinking honestly
It is good that arrests are being backdated crimes both stealing and killing. Let them be not selective. A crime is a crime whether done by someone now in the current government or not. We experienced many stealing and deaths in the past; just to mention a few: Cash-gate and Jet-gate by Joyce Banda, Chafukila’s death and Four found died in Mwanza Ministers by John Tembo ect then we are going to have Tsogolo lowala!!! otherwise if the arrest are only for DPP the it is just politics and will not bring any change preached.
Culture you are talking about John Tembo being implicated on the Mwanza four? You were very young in 1996 I suppose. John Tembo and the late Ngwazi were accused of murdering these four victims and were taken to court. According to state and defence witineses presented in court then the accused were found not guilty by the high court. So leave JT out of this because he was proven innocent.
DPP deliberately let criminals of cash-gate, jet-gate, killings and now want to accuse Tonse Alliance of leaving out some cases (selectivity), even before they’ve seen the extent of rubble clearing.
Tangommangani bombe uyu asatinyase
mZoMeRa is stupid
These flimsy case must stop I think Malawi Crocodile party has not changed
Ignatius you call thses cases flimsy? Cases like fuel-gate at ESCOM, Money loundering at MRA, vehcle-gate at MRA, the cement-gate at state house, the death of Issa Njaunju, murder of Buleya Lule in police castody, death of Robert Chasowa, death of Tambala family in Lilongwe and many more?????? This kind of thinking is what is killing Malawi.
Let me tell you Tonse alliance govt will stop at nothing but clean the rubble. Kaya ukufuna kaya siukufuna this will indeed happen. Ukagwere
Akulu mukulembatu zinthu zanzelu!! komano dzinalo aaaaaaa….
Mathanyula li?

Am not the DPP neither UDF , I supports the parties for all malawi. Mangani amilandu ikuluikulu yaza Chuma cha boma, Malo awa atayeni just tell them osadzayambilanso malawi is for all.
Kuphwanya windscreen ya galimoto umenewo ndi mulandu waung`ono, do you know much it cost. If you drive with that broken windscreen, the traffic officers are always on you for an offence. Should you stilll be paying for an offence done by someone who has been left scot free. They took this country as their own, let them be sentenced, they need to know what they were doing was wrong.
These arrests will get out of hand and innocent people will be picked. Clearing the rubble is just a disguise of silencing the opposition. The new government should stop behaving like a mafia gang which has just won new territory.
Ai okubha athawa yekha 💰
Mzomera ndi opusa uyu. If dpp thugs attacked innocent people and are protected by their evil satanic regime and later power changes hands and are arrested for criminal acts can you say it is political witchhunt?
You and your party has tortured poor malawians. Its pay back time and we are enjoying it. God is good. He has saved us from the jaws of SATAN
The guilty are always afraid.
