Angry communities in Neno have sealed the office of the District Commissioner demanding installation of the Chekucheku chieftaincy.

Neno District Commissioner Ali Phiri has confirmed the development in an interview with Times radio.

According to Phiri, one of the families embroiled in the Chekucheku chieftaincy wrangle is behind the move.

The chief was suspended on May 15 2014 by the Joyce Banda administration before being fired by Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika in April 2016.

He was dismissed for bringing confusion in the area like elevating Sub T/A’s without the DC’s knowledge, grabbing people’s land and swindling orphans money.
