Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 66306, member: 636"] Senior lawmakers George Chaponda and Charles Mchacha told 111 newly sworn legislators to fulfill electoral pledges and deliver constituency improvements to sustain parliamentary careers. Deputy Justice Lovemore Chikopa administered oaths to the incoming members on Monday at the Parliament Building in Lilongwe. Chaponda serves Mulanje South West and holds the foreign affairs portfolio. He advised representatives to tackle local problems through concrete development projects while promising to mentor those seeking counsel. Mchacha, representing Thyolo Bvumbwe-Masenjere, stressed that accountability determines legislative tenure. Edward Chileka Banda won the Lilongwe Mapuyu South seat and pledged to safeguard citizen interests and proper resource allocation. The ceremony authorized the lawmakers to begin their official responsibilities ahead of the upcoming parliamentary sessions. [/QUOTE]
