Paul Makonda bust into the limelight in 2015, when he was accused of beating up retired judge Joseph Warioba, who was the chairman of Constitutional Review Commission. The judge had come up with a draft constitution that CCM did not like.
At a meeting in a Dar es Salaam, where participants were debating the Warioba Draft, angry CCM youth booed the judge and some tried to rough him up. In the melee was Mr Makonda, who later said he was just trying to protect the judge.
