Lilongwe, February 24, Mana: Deputy Minister of Local Government, Unity and Culture, Joyce Chitsulo, has commended government for different development projects it is undertaking in the country.

She made the remarks in Parliament on Monday when she explained her inspection of several development projects across the country.

She cited construction of Thyolo District offices and Thyolo Boma Primary School which, she said, are magnificent and unique .

“To be honest with everyone, the President presented the State of the Nation Address in a unique way much as we have our own traditional way of presenting it. He presented all developments that government has done in all the districts. It is high time we appreciate such efforts.

“For instance, I inspected different developments at Group Village Head Chiyendausiku in Balaka where a maternity facility is being constructed. This is very impressive and also the progress of Mlare maternity facility in Karonga,” she said.

Member of Parliament for Lilongwe City Central, Alfred Jiya, concurred with Chitsulo saying his constituency has transformed in a  way that people will have easy access to transport due to construction of high quality roads in all parts of the constituency.

“It is high time people should appreciate government’s efforts in development,” he said.
