In his remarks, Minister of Local Government, Unity and Culture, Owen Chomanika, said that chiefs play a crucial role in achieving the Malawi 2063 vision by serving as custodians of development.
He therefore said the President’s courtesy call was intended to seek their support in transforming Malawi into a self-reliant nation.
During the visit, Inkosi Nthwalo expressed his belief that the Chakwera-led administration’s various development initiatives will benefit thousands of people in the district, and he called for a unified nation to achieve transformative change.
