Police charge MP Jolobala for roughing up DC
Malawi Police in Machinga have charged Machinga east MP Esther Jolobola with conduct likely to cause breach of peace after she violently squeezed the district commissioner’s shirt on his neck, nearly choking him.
The director of Planning and Development at the district council managed to stop the assault on the district commissioner Yobu Makina Gama.
Police spokesperson for eastern region Joseph Sauka has confirmed of the criminal offence against the violent female member of parliament.
Spokesperson for Machinga district council Patrick Ndawala said Jolobola stormed the offce of the district commissioner demanding that he makes available funds for a water pump in her constituency.
When she was told that the money could not be available immediately as the office follows procedures, she became angry and violent.
“She became angry because she had heard that the Financial Services Committee had made a resolution to fund water pump purchases and she wanted her own share of money,” said Ndawala.
The district commissioner said later the pump had already been purchased for her constituency.
The lady MP grabbed the district commissioner by the shirt and necktie whilst forcing him against the wall.
She scattered everything, including paper work, on the district commissioner’s desk office.
Wow! GBV at it’s best.
Akanangomukoka mapwala DC yo zikanabeba
hahahah amasuta chamba ndikumudziwa bwino
We need leaders like this woman. Leaders who can fight for their people
Try doing that to me bitch!! I will teach you a hard lesson.
Should have punched her.
Shameful woman.An MP for that matter fighting with the office that is her daily bread.Please police charge her very well.I don’t
know what could have happen if it was a man assaulting a woman, “Gender based violence”.
Tells a lot of the calibre of legislators that we elect
Taonani eti, kukamwa kwakeko osasiyana ndi ujeni yake. Olira aja sindiye nthawi yomulilira DC wakanthindwayu. Kukomera kugunda galu.
Amene mukumudzudzula mayiyu simukudziwa zimene zimachitika ku ma DC offices. Ma DC akuba ndalama zathu kwambiri and kuti mzimayu afike apapa anatopa ndi kunamizidwa ameneyo. I support what ever she did. Now the DC later says kuti pump anamugulura kale. Whats that? Why not say that in the first place? Ndiye kubako kumeneko. If I was her I would do that AGAIN and AGAIN. M’bomamu kuba TOO MUCH.
Had been it was a man doing this to a woman it could have been a different story on gender violence.Men are suffering indirectly on these gender issues.
