Blantyre, July 11, Mana: Ministry of Local Government, Unity and Culture has urged councils to ensure quality in all infrastructure developments taking place in their respective areas.

The call was made on the side-lines of a tour of various projects in Nsanje district under the Governance to Enable Service Delivery (GESD), District Development Fund (DDF) and Constituency Development Fund (CDF).

Principal Secretary in the Ministry of Local Government, Richard Hara said the Ministry is impressed with how the projects are being delivered.

However, Hara was quick to indicate that there’s still room for improvement.

“Tengani Market is one of the quality structures that we have seen today. Similarly, Phokera police unit is an embodiment of structures that we would want to see spread across the district,” Hara added.

Hara also assured residents of Nsanje that all concerns regarding electricity and security at Tengani market will be addressed.

Member of Parliament for Nsanje Lalanje, Gladys Ganda said she will ensure that all funds directed towards development projects will be put to good use and that quality is not compromised.

“There is need for us to ensure we deliver good quality projects that stand the test of time so that Malawians are satisfied,” Ganda who is also Chairperson of the Budget and Finance Committee in Parliament said.
