7000 houses in Malata and Cement Subsidy nearly complete – Atupele
Almost 7000 out of the targeted 15, 440 houses under the Decent and Affordable Housing Subsidy Program (DHASP) are nearly in the completion stage across the country, , Minister of Lands, Housing and Urban Development, Atupele Muluzi has said.
Speaking after monitoring the progress of the program in Mbwatalika, Traditional Authority (T/A) Malili in Lilongwe, Muluzi expressed satisfaction with the level of work taking place despite some few challenges.
“I am very impressed with the quality of work and progress so far. Soon the beneficiaries will have their own decent homes thereby transforming their lives for better,” he said.
He said the program is going towards 50 per cent of completion and will soon be moving towards the magic numbers of 15,000 houses.
Apart from benefiting from a decent house, he said, the program is also economically empowering the locals by employing artisans from the same community to do the construction work.
The minster bemoaned the delay of the program to start in some districts like Nsanje, Chikwawa, Mwanza and Phalombe due to floods which affected distribution of materials at local level.
One of the beneficiaries, Chisomo Chadza said the program has transformed his life as he is among few young men in his village to own a decent house.
“Before the program, I was living in a grass thatched house which had some problems including leaking during the rainy season,” he said.
Popularly known as Malata and Cement Subsidy, the program was designed to provide poor and vulnerable households decent and affordable housing.
The program which is in Phase one was launched by President Arthur Peter Mutharika in December, 2014.

If I compare the house on the photo with ones built in 2013 (and already dilapidated) in Mchinji at Kamwendo on the road going to Tembwe, then indeed this one on the photo is a quality house.

Bravo Our President Prof. Arthar Peter Muntharika we are proud of you. Our relatives are now living in decent houses, Do the same with irrigation schemes.

You call that one quality ? Is there any different project from what PP was doing ?
You claimed that yours was going to better than BOFU BOFU!!! . That’s a continuation of the government project which was started by JB.
And the minister has the audacity to say, “Am very impressed with the quality of work . . . “! Seriously? Unless you are not referring to the work shown in the picture. Otherwise this is not impressive by whatever standard of measure! The design, roofing, you name it. And it doesn’t look durable either!
In the days of old. Durability was the major definition of any Government-built infrastructure. What happened?
I pray also that my ears are not greeted with revelations that these houses are costing more than K20mn each.
I wish the minister could provide information as to how much money each house is expected to cost and how expenditures on items are being monitored. Otherwise, such projects are nothing but money-siphoning schemes. We all know it!
What???? That is a house???? All that noise this is what you have to show for?? Really? You call that decent housing? We are soooooo pathetic.
Iwe Atupele m’mesa umkati programme imeneyi siyabwino nthawi ya campaign?
