Revealed: How contributions for jailed opposition politician Tundu Lissu were distributed amid police probe

Chadema national chairman Tundu Lissu

Dar es Salaam. As opposition party Chadema distances itself from allegations of misappropriation of contributions raised for its chairman, Mr Tundu Lissu, sources have told The Citizen's sister publication Mwananchi, how the funds were allegedly distributed among party operatives.

On Friday, January 29, 2026, members of Mr Lissu’s family said senior party leaders should not be implicated in the controversy, insisting that only a few lower-ranking members acted contrary to agreed arrangements.
