I’m still boss, says Dolo
MOYO – The district chairman, Peter Iku Dolo, has lashed out at the people who he said spread rumours that he had resigned as the LC5 chairman. He was speaking to the district councillors at Moyo Town Hall, recently. He warned that the culprits risked facing the law.
Security stepped up
