Unite Transformation Movement (UTM) Joseph Chidanti Malunga has dismissed reports that notorious Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) cadet Jomo Osman planned to join the party.

According to Malunga the reports are nothing but social media fables.

Within the week, social media platforms were awash with reports that the Bangwe Nthandizi Ward Councilor has dumped the former ruling DPP and is planning of joining the vice president led party UTM.

However, it was later reported that Jomo popularly known as Mtopwa 1 was rejected by UTM’s National Executive Committee (NEC).

The alleged welcoming ceremony of Osman was said to have been planned to take place after members at the regional level accepted him.

One of the ruling parties, UTM, has dismissed claims that suspected thief, Jomo Osman, requested to join the party.

Since the Tonse Alliance became a ruling alliance in June, Jomo Osman has been arrested on at least two occasions.

He is currently answering assault, theft and malicious damage charges. Some of the charges relate to the assault of a Malawi Congress Party supporter.

It is also alleged he supplied Samosa to State House at inflated prices of K35,000 a piece during the DPP administration.
