He added, “Mzimba remains an important district whose growth will complement Mzuzu City and boost the northern region’s contribution to national development”. Chihana outlined other projects under the President’s agenda, including a new hospital, resuming Mombela University, and upgrading roads to improve connectivity and economic activity. “Government will continue engaging citizens to ensure development reflects their priorities and Malawi’s long-term growth,” he stressed. On hunger in parts of the country, Chihana assured communities, “Relief maize distribution will soon start, and delivery of inputs under FISP will be accelerated to ensure food security this season”.
