The opposition Chama cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo (Chadema) has called on the police to take action against all the people involved in the the killing of the Geita Regional Chairman, the late Alphonce Mawazo.
The Chadema-flag-bearer in the just-concluded general election, Edward Lowassa, made the call at Furahisa ground in Mwanza when leading hundreds of mourners and party members to pay their last respects to the fallen chairman.
The late Mawazo was killed mid this month in Geita region while on routine party duties.
Lowassa, who is also a former prime minister, told the police to arrest all the people involved in the barbaric killing of the regional party leader, failure of which the party would do the job itself.
“Police need to work according to rules and regulations governing their operations” he said while describing the legal battle between Mawazo’s family, Chadema and the police force.
Chadema national chairman, Freeman Mbowe, said people were tired of brutal killings of its party members since 2011.
Nevertheless, he said some police officials were performing their duties with diligence and professionalism while others were performing to please the wishes of higher authorities.
Among legislators who paid their last respects were 113 MPs from the Coalition of People’s Constitution (Ukawa), who contributed Sh36m to support Precious Mawazo (9), who is in standard four.
