Lilongwe District Council has handed over a contractor for the construction of a field staff house, EPA office and VIP latrine at Malembo, at a total cost of K299.6 million.

Speaking during the handover ceremony on Saturday, Director of Public Works Allan Chitete called for cordial collaboration between the contractor and members of the community to ensure the successful implementation of quality projects.

Chitete also urged the contractor to consider employing members of the local community for piecework opportunities during the construction period.

Member of Parliament for the area, Lawrence Chakala Chaziya, cautioned the contractor against shoddy work, saying such conduct would be counterproductive and undermine the purpose of the project.

Chaziya further called on members of the community to take ownership of the project and monitor its implementation at every stage to ensure that the contractor adheres to the agreed standards and specifications.

On its part, SAF General Construction assured the community that it would deliver quality work in accordance with the agreed standards.

The project is expected to be completed within four months and is being implemented through the Resilient Communities Project (RCRP), with funding from the World Bank.

Lilongwe District Commissioner Stallichi Mwambiwa has urged farmers to adopt modern farming technologies and irrigation practices to increase agricultural production and improve household incomes.

Mwambiwa made the call on Friday at Chiwamba Extension Planning Area (EPA) during the launch of the Integrated Catchment Management and Irrigation Campaign at Mpesa in the area of Group Village Head Chiwamba in the district.

Mwambiwa said the adoption of irrigation, climate-smart agricultural technologies and a change in mindset among farmers would help strengthen food security, particularly as Malawi faces the possibility of an El Niño-induced dry season.

He further encouraged farmers to grow early-maturing and drought-tolerant crops and to invest in rainwater harvesting to enhance crop yields.

Lilongwe District Council Vice Chairperson David Kamwendo said the campaign would play a key role in reminding farmers of the importance of embracing modern farming methods to improve productivity and resilience to climate change.

One of the farmers, Chikumbutso Justin, said adopting new farming practices had transformed his livelihood, enabling him to increase production and earn higher profits.

Deputy Minister of Health Charles Chilambula says government is impressed with the progress of the polio immunization campaign currently underway across the country.

Chilambula made the remarks in Lilongwe on Thursday after inspecting the campaign in some areas of Kauma in the district.

He said it was encouraging to see many parents and guardians willingly presenting their children for vaccination, describing the development as a positive step towards eliminating polio in the country.

“Let me take this opportunity to encourage parents and guardians whose children have not yet received the vaccination to make sure that they do so before the campaign closes tomorrow,” he said.

Meanwhile, Lilongwe District Director of Health Services Dr Wilson Ching’ani said the campaign was progressing well despite some children being away on holiday.

He expressed optimism that the district would surpass its target of 925,433, saying it had already reached 60 percent coverage and is expected to exceed 100 percent by the end of the campaign.

“Currently, we are already at 60 percent. By the end of today and tomorrow, we will be above 100 percent,” he said.

One of the parents Liviness Moffat said she was happy that her child was among the children who received the vaccination.

The Fourth round of the oral polio vaccination is being conducted across the country from 11-14 August with financial support from the World Health Organization (WHO)

Polio is a highly infectious viral disease that can cause permanent paralysis and, in severe cases, death. Immunisation is one of the most effective ways of preventing the disease and protecting children from its potentially devastating effects.
