Ntcheu, November 13, Mana: The Parliamentary Committee on Local Authorities and Rural Development has commended the implementation of Governance to Enable Service Delivery (GESD), District Development Fund (DDF) and Constituency Development Fund projects in Ntcheu district.

 

Chairperson of the committee Horace Chipuwa made the remarks on Wednesday during the committee's visit to GESD, DDF and CDF projects in the district.

 

"We came to appreciate various development projects in the district, from what we have seen at Gomani Chikuse Community Day Secondary School and Mdeka bridge, things are in order, we have appreciated the construction works at these sites," said Chipuwa.

 

He lauded the use of capable contractors who are able to finish quality work within a specified period as opposed to local artisans who usually have financial challenges.

"We use contractors with financial capacity who are able to finish projects on time and without compromising quality," said Mwalughali.
