President Dr. Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera says the spirit of greed among some public officers is the reason development projects have delayed in the country.
President Chakwera made the remarks on Thursday 12th October 2023 at a development rally in Mangochi.
The Malawi leader was referring to the construction of Makanjira road in Mangochi whose designs were finished a long time ago but were put under a carpet by some corrupt officers.
“Some people only care about themselves and that is the reason some projects have taken longer to be completed,” explained Chakwera.
“Paperwork for the construction of Makanjira road was completed sometime back but some selfish officials hid the documents for their personal gain.”
On this note, Chakwera assured Mangochi residents that the government finally has all the supporting documents and that funds are ready for the project to start.
“We will be signing the agreement with the donor this coming November so that the project starts. My government will do everything possible to ensure that Malawi and Mangochi in particular get developed,” he said.
