CHIEF Chanje of the Chewa in Eastern Province has hailed Patriotic Front Chipangali Member of Parliament Vincent Mwale for donating 70 iron roofing sheets to two schools in his chiefdom.
The traditional leader thanked Mr Mwale for donation of 32 by 12 feet iron roofing sheets to Kaleza Primary School in Rukuzye ward and 38 by 12 iron roofing sheets to Kasenga Day Secondary School in Kasenga ward.
He said the gesture had elated the traditional leadership and that it was an indication that Mr Mwale, who is Local Government Minister, was eager to see that members of the community received quality education.
In an interview with the Daily Nation, Chief Chanje expressed hope that the decision by the minister would encourage young people to work hard at school.
Chief Chanje said the community moulded bricks and were determined to see to it that the schools were completed on time.
He urged the school managements and head teachers at the two schools to ensure that the iron roofing sheets were used for the intended purpose.
Chief Chanje said he was happy that people in his chiefdom were adhering to basic sanitary requirements and the keeping of their surroundings clean to avert an outbreak of waterborne diseases.
