Mangochi District Councilors have described President Dr. Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera as an extra ordinary president for his strong support to the social and economic development of the people of the Lakeshore District.
The Councillors made the remarks on Thursday 18th July 2024, when President Chakwera held an audience with Mangochi District Councillors at Chikoko Bay State Lodge in Mangochi.
Councillor for Mangochi Msukamwere Ward Hawa Wasi Daud said Malawi has had Presidents from Southern Region, “but never did we see this kind of development in Mangochi.”
Chairperson for Mangochi District Council, Councillor Hassan Chiputa hailed President Chakwera for initiating the Mangochi – Makanjira road construction works which they say, will open up the area to neighboring Mozambique.
He also thanked the Malawi leader for constructing modern houses for security agents in the district.
“There are a lot positive developments currently taking place in Mangochi. This is exactly what used to happen during the reign of late President Ngwazi Dr. Hastings Kamuzu Banda. We thank you for transforming Mangochi,” he said.
“We have had presidents before, but the Chakwera led administration is very unique.”
The Councillors also took turns to thank Chakwera for being an accommodative president who works with all of them despite wearing different political hats.
