Dar es Salaam. Chadema has raised more questions on the
investigation progress of Singinda East Member of Parliament (MP) Tundu
Lissu, who was last month assaulted in Dodoma and is now admitted to
Nairobi Hospital.
Speaking at a press briefing
yesterday, Chadema Director of Coordination and Recruitment Benson
Kigaila said until then no arrests had been made to help in
investigation.
He noted that in Kibiti, when attacks
and killings occurred several initiatives were made to ensure the
culprits were arrested. Explaining further, he said it was easier for
law enforcers to investigate, track and arrest people, who criticised
the president on social media than to probe and arrest the culprits
intending to kill people during the daytime.
“Apart
from seizing 10 vehicles in connection with the assassination attempt,
it is surprising that not even a security guard or a gatekeeper on duty
in Area D in Dodoma has been arrested,” he said.
He is
wondering why the police are asking for Mr Lissu’s driver to help in
investigation and asks if the driver were killed, then does it mean that
the police would not have investigated the matter?
“If
former Information, Culture, Arts and Sports Minister Nape Nyauye was threatened to be killed by a person, whose picture was seen and published in several media outlets has not been arrested, will Mr Lissu’s assailants be arrested?” he queried. Mr Kigaila explained that 695 days had passed since the chairman of Geita, Mr Alphonce Mawazo (Chadema), was viciously wounded and later died and no investigation or arrests connected with the incident and also 329 days had passed since Ben Sanane disappeared and nobody knows his whereabouts and now it’s 29 days since Mr Lissu sustained serious gunshot wounds and no investigation so far.
