“Bring evidence that I defected to MCP”-Mwanza West legislator Chitsulo dares DPP
BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-Mwanza West legislator Joyce Chitsulo has challenged Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) to bring evidence that shows her joining Malawi Congress Party (MCP) warranting seat declared vacant.
Chitsulo is reacting to DPP’s letter asking Speaker Catherine Gotani Hara to declare seat vacant for its four lawmaker who are allegedly working with Malawi Congress Party (MCP).
DPP alleges that legislators Chitsulo, Binton Kuntsayira, Owen Chomanika, Benedicto Chambo and Esther Majaza violated Section 65 of Malawi Constitution by aligning with MCP.
But Chitsulo told The Maravi Post that DPP has other issues with her nothing to do with Section 65 violation.
She therefore vowed to serve her constituency regardless of which party is in power.
“DPP is referring to the development rally which local government minister Richard Chimwendo Banda conducted in my constituency.
“They invited me to attend the rally as legislator for the area. This is a government function not MCP. Is attending government function a crime? qurried Chitsulo.
“DPP must bring evidence that I joined MCP and also details of amount of money claims to have sponsored me to attain Mwanza West seat,” dared
The opposition DPP has been in leadership crisis since losing 2020 presidential elections.
