We thank the President for the new projects up north whilst the same are being implemented in other regions. Our worries are that construction of roads in the north has not been included as compared to other regions in the 2024 budget. In this budget, the national cake has not been shared equally. In our multiparty democracy, north is being considered Dead North because of these leaders. Northerners voted for Chakwera hoping that he would be a better president than the former ones.
