President Lazarus Chakwera has underscored the importance of equitable distribution of development projects across the country.
Speaking on Sunday during a whistle-stop tour and voter mobilization drive at Chinsapo in Lilongwe, the President reiterated his commitment to fostering development irrespective of political affiliations. He emphasized the need to create a nation where resources and opportunities are equally accessible to all.
“The projects happening in the country are for future generations. That is why we are building standard infrastructures so that people in the future should also have access to quality infrastructures,” Chakwera stated.
Additionally, the President called for transparency in the distribution of maize and social cash transfers, urging authorities to prioritize the needs of the vulnerable and ensure these resources are not politicized.
“Those people who are responsible for maize distribution and social cash transfers must make sure that all intended recipients have received their benefits, not only a few families,” he said.
George Zulu, Member of Parliament (MP) for Lilongwe City West, expressed gratitude for the ongoing developments in his constituency. He highlighted how these initiatives have significantly improved the quality of life for local communities.
“We have access to quality health facilities as you have built a new facility in the area, and we also appreciate the free water connections, which have helped many people,” Zulu remarked.
The President’s commitment to equal development continues to resonate with communities, strengthening his vision of a united and progressive Malawi.
