The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has apprehended Jappie Mhango, the Vice President of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) for the North and Member of Parliament for Rumphi North, on allegations of abuse of office.
The arrest, which took place in Mzuzu, relates to the purchase of government houses.
According to reports, Mhango is currently being held at the ACB offices in Mzuzu, where he is assisting with investigations.
The details of the allegations against him are still emerging, and the ACB is expected to provide further information on the matter in due course.
The arrest of a high-profile figure such as Mhango underscores the ACB’s commitment to holding public officials accountable for their actions.
As the investigation unfolds, it remains to be seen how this development will impact Mhango’s political career and the broader political landscape in Malawi.
