Mmangitsa, Mtumodzi arrested
Police in Malawi’s capital Lilongwe have arrested Chief Executive Officer for Lilongwe City Council Kelvin Mmangisa and deputy Principal Secretary for Ministry of Disabilities and the Elderly Chikumbutso Mtumodzi.According to National Police spokesperson Davie Chingwalu, Mmangisa is accused of drawing allowances for a trip to Italy which he never undertook and collecting allowances outside his contract.Â
Mtumodzi, who at one point was State House press officer under the late Bingu wa Mutharika, is accused of possessing a bayonet, which can only be found with police officers, and an AK 47 toy gun. A bayonet is a long blade that is fixed to a rifle for hand-to-hand fighting. Mtumodzi was arrested around 6 am this Thursday when about 20 police officers invaded his house in Area 10.Â
The Nation’s edition of Friday will carry a blow-by-blow account of crimes Mmangisa has allegedly committed.Â
