For the first time in the history of Malawi every district has its own projects happening at different levels; some being launched, some being constructed while others are closer to completion.
These projects include school blocks, construction of dams, asalphat roads, stadiums, Health centres and many more projects. Talking about Lilongwe the story is completely different. Lilongwe is no longer the same but fully transformed.
This is what the Speaker of National Assembly Catherine Gotani Hara stressed during her public address at Kafukule in Mzimba.
Hara said judging by what is happening in the country people should rally behind Chakwera and enjoy meaningful development.
Addressing a political rally at Kafukule community ground on Saturday, 15th July, 2023, Hara admitted challenges the country is facing, but assured the gathering that being a listening leader, Chakwera is doing all he can to address these challenges.
Said Gotani Hara: “President Chakwera took government at the time we had Covid-19 pandemic, later the country was hit by Cholera, as these were not enough we were hardly hit by Cyclone Freddy.
“All these needed funds to be addressed and we all looked up to the President for support, hence we have seen delays in other projects,” said Gotani.
Gotani Hara who was joined by her deputy at Parliament, Madalitso Kamatcheni Kazombo also took advantage of her rally to thank the people of Kafukule for voting Chakwera and MCP back into power, asking them to continue supporting President Chakwera and his administration.
Here, MCP Deputy Secretary General, outlined some developments currently underway in the Northern Region, adding that soon around October, Chakwera Administration will start construction of Inkosi M’mbelwa University which people of the region have been waiting for many years.
“Chakwera abolished the quota system of selecting learners to various institutions, which has seen many of our children being selected, hence this university will be paramount in accommodating our children from this region,” added Hara.
However, Gotani Hara in her address commended President Chakwera for not practicing nepotism, citing appointment of several individuals from the region which she said has helped the region to have its voice in government.
