Kagulo says, “the guards are alleging that they did not receive their monthly salaries for the months of June and July, and on Friday August 11, 2023, they wrote a petition to the water board expressing their anger and threatening to deal with any officer who will report for duties at the water board offices.”

However, the suspects instead of waiting for the response from Southern Region Water Board headquarters in Zomba, they resorted to damaging the water intake and removing the drain plug for the two tanks which resulted in no piped water supply to residents and offices around Chiradzulu Boma for two days.

All 17 Security guards were arrested for malicious damage following the report Chiradzulu Police Station received.

The suspects hails from Ching’amba village, Traditional Authority Onga in the same district.
