President Lazarus Chakwera has installed Senior Chief Kaduya as Paramount Chief of the Lhomwe.

The development comes barely days after he approved the appointment of Kaduya to the post.

Kaduya, whose real name is Stella Munyama, takes over from Paramount Ngolongoliwa who died five years ago.

The event is taking place at Mpasa Primary School in Phalombe.

Earlier on, Chakwera launched this year’s tree-planting season at Mpasa Hill.
