Malawi Congress Party (MCP) Director of Youth, Richard Chimwendo Banda has assured people of Dowa that Government intends to fast track rehabilitation of M1 Road.
Chimwendo was speaking in Mponela Dowa during the Development rally which Member of Parliament of area Darlington Harawa hosted.
Chimwendo said he will be meeting Minister of Transport to find ways how this project can be expedited.
Chimwendo said for long time Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) regime neglected rehabilitation of this road project.
Chimwendo admitted that the project is indeed going at snail’s pace.
Speaking earlier Harawa, urged Government to speed up the project saying the road from Lilongwe has become a death trap.
Harawa said people are losing lives because of the road.
On 22 July, 2022, after many years of cries and demands to have the overused M1 road rehabilitated, Chakwera
launched the 301km European Union (EU) funded project at Mtiti in Dowa.
The 140 billion kwacha project covers from Kamuzu International Airport turnoff in Lilongwe to Chiweta in Rumphi with four sections of the road constructed by different contractors.
M1 road is a backbone of the entire Malawi road infrastructure and the economy. It connects us to our shared development, it connects beauty of our shared environment and it connects us to the power of shared culture and to the prosperity of shared markets.
