Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Northern Region Vice President, Jappie Mhango, has pledged that he and his party will not be intimidated or silenced despite facing charges of misuse of public office.
Mhango made the declaration after being granted bail, emphasizing that the issue at hand is not just about him, but about the numerous Malawians struggling due to the country’s financial challenges.

Mhango’s determination was evident as he left the court, escorted by a show of support from fellow DPP members who had gathered at the court throughout the day.
The DPP stalwart maintained that he would continue to speak out against the current economic hardships facing many Malawians.
This development comes as Mhango faces accusations of misusing his public office, a charge he seems resolute to contest.
As a seasoned politician and former Deputy Minister of Defence, Mhango has been a prominent figure in Malawian politics, known for his outspoken views on various issues, including governance and development.
