Malawi Congress Party (MCP) youthful shadow Member of Parliament for Kasungu Central Constituency, Chikondi Kampachike Chisale, has pledged to continue the development projects he has been implementing in the area after being voted into Parliament in the September 16 polls.
Chisale disclosed that he will continue serving the people through the pipe water project, which he has been working on for the past ten years.
He also mentioned that he will maintain the health mobile clinic and put emphasis on the education sector.
The Kasungu Central Constituency’s MCP shadow MP further emphasized that he will continue providing food to the elderly during times of hunger.
He said, “I will keep engaging with local leaders and the Village Development Committee (VDC) to understand their key priority areas that require my focus.”
“Obviously, regarding road network infrastructure, we will also continue supporting entrepreneurship and farming, as these drive our economy. These are some of the things we will keep doing,” Chisale added.
Chisale also lamented that he will not rely solely on the 10% Constituency Development Fund (CDF) to support poor students with bursaries, stating that the CDF alone cannot go far and that leaders need to be resourceful.
He stated that as a leader, it is important to engage stakeholders, develop partnerships, and explore various resource pools that can be channeled towards education.
In his remarks, one of the constituents, Barry Phiri, said Chisale has been very supportive of both the youth and the elderly over the past ten years, and he believes Chisale will be a good parliamentarian for the constituency.
Chisale defeated the incumbent Member of Parliament, Ken Kandodo, in party primaries by 986 votes to 144.
Malawi will hold general elections on the 16th of next month, where people are expected to vote for Councillors, Members of Parliament, and the President.
