Chakwera Saves Mutharika Projects from Scrapheap
Chakwera keeps old DPP projects going against normal practice. Past leaders threw away projects started by others due to party fights. His team faces blame for slow work on the Mzimba offices, stadium, roads from Jenda through villages to Mzimba Boma, and the new Mombela school. Many still praise him for finishing what Muthaika began. Political expert Thomas Chirwa calls this grown-up behavior. He asks future leaders to follow this path when they run next year. Keeping old projects saves money and helps citizens faster. The country needs all parties to work for people, not just to win fights. Voters hope this new habit stays after the next election.
