Newly elected Member of Lilongwe City Centre,  Gift Nankhuni has advised the current leadership of President Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika to embrace projects which President Dr Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera initiated.

Addressing the Parliament over the State President Peter Mutharika address Nankhuni said no one can take away credit from Dr Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera especially on good things he did.

“You cannot take away the good things that Chakwera did. They are there just like, just like the issue of education, the issue of CDF, even the issue of the standards of roads, standards of infrastructure that government has put in place. We need to statutorise them,”

He said at the age of  50 he has never seen such development projects.

“Mr Speaker sir let me confese here that am 50 years old but the roads that we see in city center in Lilongwe going to Mzuzu are just massive even the width I have  never seen before that needs to be continued.

The Landlord then called on companies operating in Lilongwe to share what they are fetching  by building schools , hospitals and providing clean water.
He specifically gave the example of Lilongwe Water Board (LWB) a company which operate sewer systems at Kauma.

The Landlord said it is imperative upon them that when they consider their corporate social responsibility, they should make a meaningful contribution towards the people in Lilongwe city center.

” I will be visiting them so that they can build  schools, they can build a hospitals, they can do so much, they can pay school fees. That will be my duty, and that’s my promise to the people of Lilongwe city center, as for lilongo Water boats, the biggest sewage in Lilongwe is at Kauma. So this is where we are taking all the waste from Lilongwe to kauma. People of kauma are suffering from pollution and what are you doing with this we need you to build hospital there so that when they are suffering, they can be going to that hospital,” he said.

In a special way , Nankhuni commeded former member of Parliament Alfred Jiya for keeping the constituency well to the standards where it is now.
