Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 47133, member: 636"] Minister Owen Chomanika urged Malawians to stay peaceful before September 16 elections. The Natural Resources and Climate Change Minister spoke Saturday at Chikwawa North Constituency. He attended a ceremony giving teachers a new house worth 48 million kwacha. The World Bank funded the building through its Governance Enable Service Delivery program. Chomanika represents this area as a member of parliament. The minister warned against election violence during his speech. He told crowds that fighting hurts the country's development progress. Chomanika said he would not let failed politicians use his supporters for violent acts. He asked young people to report any politician who tries to incite them. The minister called on police to protect innocent citizens during election season. District Commissioner Nardin Kamba praised Chomanika's peace message. He said development projects only work when communities remain united. Kamba warned that police will arrest anyone who takes money to cause trouble. Some reports suggest opposition parties fund civil society protests to create chaos. The government has just two months left before the national elections. Chikwawa has experienced election violence before according to officials. Young people often become victims of political manipulation during campaigns. Failed politicians use violence as a strategy against stronger opponents. This happens especially during parliamentary races across the southern region. The new teacher housing aims to solve accommodation problems at Mdulansanje Primary School. [/QUOTE]
