District Commissioner (DC) for Chiradzulu Memory Kaleso has been sent on a forced leave for misappropriating K170 million.

This is according to spokesperson for the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development

Muhlabase Mughogho: Has confirmed of the news.

Mughogho told the local media that the DC has been sent on a three month forced leave for abusing funds amounting to 170 million Kwacha.

The spokesperson further said the district commissioner misappropriated funds from Other Recurrent Transaction – ORT.

It is further reported that Kaleso used the money for other purposes without authorization but it is not clearly stated how the money was used.

The DC has been at loggerhead with the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) since April this year, which is likely to open up questions over the legitimacy of her suspension.

She ruffled the councillors’ feathers when she refused to issue them with allowance to attend political meetings organised by senior DPP officials. She had also refused to the councillors’ request for a government vehicle so they could attend a DPP rally.

Pressure for her head had been mounting within party ranks to the extent that ruling party officials had once sealed her office in April to force the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development to transfer her.

  1. Nowadays people are dreaming to be in high ranks with the aim of robbing. When such kind of people found, they must be punished to the maxmum. We are fed up of hearing these stories in our country.

  19. It’s just unfortunate that this has happened. Last month when I travelled to Milepa on Chiradzulu – Miseu Folo road, I saw Memory the DC at the Boma and several women in the Minibus we were travelling in admired her. She was sn icon of women empowerment. As a young lady to hold such a high office it’s very admirable. I hope she comes out clean of this mess.

  29. As a matter of urgency could the government overhaul the operations of councils by deploying qualified personnel, particularly internal auditors.Here the government should be prepared to pay market rate perks as one way of retaining them. It seems councils are poorly staffed coz of people are paid condolence fees in place of reasonable packages which lead to cashgates.

  78. Abaleee, this woman hasn’t stolen any money. Remember DPP government has never liked this woman because she doesn’t tolerate the No sense of DPP in Chiradzulu. So this is a mere propaganda to remove this woman so that they can be stealing easily. If you dig deeper you will find that she denied to contribute taxpayers money to the Blue night.
