On Tuesday, March 8, 2022, President Lazarus Chakwera engaged officials from Ministries of Lands, Transport and Public Works, Home Land Security, Account General and Education at the Presidential Delivery Unit ( PDU ) to establish why completion of various projects was delaying.
The President could not hide his frustrations and called the delay shameful.
He said mong other delayed Projects that have frustrated him are construction of 10,000 Security Institutions Houses, three Teachers’houses in Mchinji, Rumphi and Chikwawa, 14 primary Schools in urban areas, 29 girls’ hostels science laboratories and library blocks.
He however, demanded better coordination among officials and enforceable timeline from the official of the above mentioned Ministries so as to ensure that these projects are concluded within given timeframe.
