Tonse Alliance officials have dismissed allegations by the former ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) that the arrests being made on their members are politically motivated.

DPP spokesperson Nicholas Dausi has been accusing President Lazarus Chakwera’s administration of persecuting those in opposition.

Since Lazarus Chakwera became the Malawi leader, the police have made several arrests on people in relation to offenses allegedly committed during the DPP regime.

The arrests include that of 12 police officers in connection to the death of an albino killer suspect Buleya Lule, former Deputy Director of MRA Roza Mbilizi and a Bangwe Nthandizi Ward Councilor Isaac Jomo Osman among others.

In his response however, MCP National Campaign Director Moses Kunkuyu who is a senior member in the Tonse Alliance argues that those in the wrong will be prosecuted.
