Nkhotakota, October 9, Mana: District Commissioner for Nkhotakota, Ben Matengeni Tohno, has commended NBS Bank for donating Public Address Equipment to the council saying it will improve deliberations that are usually held in the Council Chamber.

Speaking at the handover ceremony on Monday at the district council chamber, Tohno said proper communication and sound delivery within the chamber were challenges, as they did not have functional Sound System equipment.

He said the donation would rapidly improve the district's communication gap in announcing and broadcasting information.

“Our jobs are vital in reaching out and rendering all necessary information to the public and as such it is important to have attained such up-to-date equipment which will help improve all challenges being met in the district,” said Tohno.

Tohno commended NBS Bank for supporting the people of Nkhotakota with the first-of-its-kind equipment at the district level to improve service delivery at the local council.

NBS Bank Head of Cluster for Centre and North, Dr Justin Chikaonda, said the bank is a partner of the local councils and will keep supporting in many forms as part of their corporate social responsibility to the communities.

Director of Finance for Nkhotakota District Council, Khumbo Masankhula, thanked NBS Bank and encouraged them to also render aid in other sectors to uplift the lives of the people in Nkhotakota noting partners like NBS bank are a blessing.

NBS bank donated equipment to the tune of K8 million to the council.
