Director General of State Residences Peter Mukhito on Monday night surprised his new wife Chancy Mukhito with birthday party as she turned 40 years of age.

The Party came barely a week after the couple had a wonderful wedding ceremony, at the Bingu International Conference Centre (BICC) in the capital Lilongwe.

Mukhito, who once served as former Inspector General of Malawi Police also took the party as an opportunity for him to say thanks those people who took part in his wedding ceremony.

The birthday party was attended by close family and friends, as well as those who were in the wedding committee.
