Government ready to provide land to local and foreign Investors

By Staff Reporter

Minister of Lands, Deus Gumba, has stated that government will continue its efforts to provide land to both local and foreign investors through the Malawi Investment and Trade Centre (MITC).

Gumba made these remarks today during a sensitisation meeting for Blantyre City Council Councilors and management on the amended land laws, which was held at Sunbird Mount Soche Hotel in Blantyre.

He disclosed that his ministry has already identified land for investment in the cities of Lilongwe, Mzuzu, and Blantyre. Additionally, commercial lands have been identified for commercial farming, which will soon be allocated to MITC for potential investors.

He emphasised that land allocation for all investments will be done following applicable laws to avoid selling and granting land to non-Malawian citizens with no investment ambitions.

Gumba has appealed to Blantyre City Council to be responsible for ensuring that land for various developments is available and the issuance of various development permissions is not delayed at all costs.

Minister of Education, Madalitso Kambauwa Wirima warned the universities when she presided over the 9th Daeyang University graduation ceremony.

Wirima said that through NCHE, her ministry is jealously guarding the education standards in the country to make sure Malawians are not subjected to substandard education.

“We always need to remember that we are in a globally competitive world in which we should strive to make sure that our education meets international standards so that our graduates are recognised globally,” she said.

The Minister further asked the new graduates to use their education and training not only for their own advancement, but also for the development of the country.

Daeyang University Council Chairperson, Rev. Dr. Davidson Chifungo, assured Malawians that the university will offer only those programmes accredited by NCHE to continue producing globally competitive workforce that is well skilled and trained.

One Hundred and Thirty boys and girls graduated with degrees of Bachelor of Science and Technology, and Bachelor of Science in Nursing and Midwifery at a ceremony held under the theme, “Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone long time ago planted a seed – Thinking about the future of Malawi.”
