The Thyolo District Council office complex is nearing completion, with a remarkable 95% of construction work done.
The state-of-the-art facility is set to replace the outdated 1900 colonial-era structure, marking a significant milestone in the district’s infrastructure development.
In an interview,Thyolo District Commissioner Hudson Kuphanga,said the office complex is expected to be occupied by March this year, following a handover ceremony from the contractor.
He said the K7.4 billion project is anticipated to boost staff morale and enhance service delivery.
On his part, Executive Director of the Centre for Social Accountability and Transparency (CSAT),Willy Kambwandira praised the project’s standards while emphasizing the need for authorities to deliver on their promises, particularly with the handover deadline approaching in March.
The construction of the four-storey building began in 2017, but faced delays due to funding inconsistencies, missing initial completion targets set for 2020.
