Rumphi Police Officer-in-Charge Edward Chingaipe has confirmed the arrest of Penjani Kalua, son to Minister of Lands Kamlepo Kalua.

He is alleged to have been dishing out money to prospective voters to influence them to vote for a candidate of his choice.

However, Chingaipe could not disclose the charge levelled against the suspect, saying they are still investigating the matter.

Despite being seen in a video circulating on social media, escorting his son to Chiweta Police unit, Kamlepo has described the arrest as political witchhunt.
