President Lazarus Chakwera has commended Minister of Transport and Public Works, Jacob Hara, for the impressive progress in the M1 Road construction to Mzuzu.
He was speaking during a brief stop at Mtengowanthenga in Dowa on his way to Mzuzu, where he was scheduled to perform his official duties.
The President expressed satisfaction with the ongoing work and urged the local community to take ownership of maintaining the developments.
“I am delighted to see the remarkable progress on this critical road. It is a testament to our administration’s commitment to infrastructure development.
“We are committed to ensuring that development projects benefit all regions of the country,” he said.
Deputy Minister of Health Halima Daudi, who is also Member of Parliament for the area, said the President’s commitment to infrastructure development is commendable.
“The ongoing construction of the M1 Road to Mzuzu is a significant improvement from the former ‘death trap’ it was.
“I also applaud the President for initiating the National Economic Empowerment Fund (NEEF) loans, which are enhancing financial stability among our youth.
“Furthermore, the new health posts are helping to alleviate congestion in district hospitals, and we appreciate the President’s efforts to improve healthcare in our country,” said Daudi.
