The clinic will mainly come in handy in treating critically ill patients and pregnant women enroute to nearby government health facility.

The ambulance is equipped with oxygen cylinder, nebulizer, drugs, blood pressure testing machine, glucometer, patient bed and IV giving sets among several other facilities.

During the handover ceremony of the mobile clinic which also coincided with the finals of his K10 million trophy, Phiri was accompanied by Minister of Justice Samuel Tembenu, former Big  Bullets FC Trustee James Busile and other regional party officials.

Speaking after handing over the ambulance, Phiri told the mammoth crowd he decided to donate the mobile clinic in order to reach out to critically ill patients and pregnant women in the areas of Traditional Authorities Kapichi and Mchilamwela.

“Most people in Thyolo Central travel long distances to access nearby hospital at the Thyolo boma. I am aware of several cases where people have died on their to the hospital. The reason i bought this ambulance, which is fully equipped, is to arrest such a challenge the people Thyolo central are facing,” said Phiri, a former president Peter Mutharika’s aide.

Added he: “I have employed a ful l time nurse who will be moving around the constituency attending to sick people. To the critically ill patients, they will be taken to Thyolo Boma hospital for proper attention.”

On the K10 million trophy, Phiri handed over trophies, medals and cash to winners in  various sporting disciplines.

In primary school netball, the winner was Nachipere primary school, while in  secondary netball category winner was Good Maganizo secondary school.

In the footbal category Mberenga primary and  Chikolombe CDSS were winners respectively.

In Social football category, Thyolo police beat Chalkmen to go home with a trophy, individu medals and cash while Nsika stars accumulated 31 points to win in Bawo competition.

On his part, guest of honour at the event Minister of Justice and Constitutional Affairs Samuel Tembenu hailed Phiri for the various projects he is initiating in the constituency.

Apart from the state-of-the-art ambulance, Phiri has also sourced funds for construction of 4 new schools, girls hostel blocks at Mpinji CDSS, electric-powered boreholes at Thyolo market and Thyolo District Hospital, among several other projects.

Phiri has also recently awarded best performing students at Thyolo Secondary School where he is an alumni.

Mr Ben Phiri, whilst this is a commendable act, I urge you not roll out these kind of projects just because elections are just around the corner. It cannot be that you use purportedly your own funds for campaigning purposes only to disappear when elected. If you’re doing this from the bottom of your heart and for the true benefit of the people (and not for selfish reasons), then we applaud you immensely. However, we still urge you to clear your conscious as it is the best judge.
