President Dr. Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera has highlighted his administration’s development projects in Phalombe, citing significant investments in food support, education, healthcare, and economic empowerment.

According to Chakwera, his administration has spent K4.7 billion on food support in Phalombe, benefiting over 11,000 households through the social cash transfer program over the past four years.

Additionally, more than 2,800 people have accessed loans worth over K2 billion through the National Economic Empowerment Fund (NEEF).

Chakwera also emphasized his government’s infrastructure development projects in Phalombe, including the construction of 29 houses for security personnel, four new schools, and the full operationalization of Chilembwe Hospital.

These projects, he noted, demonstrate his administration’s commitment to improving the lives of Phalombe residents.

The President urged the 170,000 registered voters of Phalombe not to be misled by politicians who cannot advance the district’s development.

He emphasized that his administration’s development projects are tangible evidence of its commitment to the district’s growth and prosperity.

Chakwera’s remarks come as the country prepares for September tripartite elections, with Phalombe being a critical district in terms of voter numbers.

The President’s emphasis on development projects in Phalombe is seen as a strategic move to woo voters and demonstrate his administration’s achievements.
