By Steve Chirombo
Chikwawa, May 6, Mana: Vice President, Dr. Saulos Chilima has asked Chikwawa District Council to incorporate issues of mining and wildlife in its reform areas.
Chilima made the remarks when he engaged the council on Thursday where, among others, he appreciated the council’s reform areas on agriculture, education, revenue collection as well as health.
However, Chilima noted that Chikwawa district is surrounded by the reserves which would be potential areas for mining hence urging the council to build its capacity to effectively investigate the same.
Chilima said the district produces more millet and cotton and as such it is time to start thinking of producing products out of the crops for sustainability.
