Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>The Board of Directors for the Roads Authority (RA) has heeded President Lazarus Chakwera\u2019s directive for the expedited resumption of the construction of the Chitipa Boma-Ilomba Road.<\/p>\n

The board has since ordered the RA Secretariat to immediately start drawing work plans. The order comes three days after Chakwera directed that construction on the road should start within four months.<\/p>\n

Chakwera, who had earlier inspected crops in the districts, expressed dismay with the delays in the upgrading of the road. The President ordered that the finalization of designs and procurement processes for the 30-Kilometre road be completed for take-off within the next four months after the directive.<\/p>\n

RA Board has issued a memo to its secretariat, directing it to immediately get to work. The authority\u2019s Board Chairperson Joe Ching\u2019ani has further directed the secretariat to allocate roles to the responsible personnel.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is with the foregoing in mind that in order that the directive by the president be fulfilled, I, in my capacity as Board chairperson hereby directs that secretariat should immediately set the wheels rolling, allocate roles, draw a roadmap with clear timelines, the timelines of which must fit in the time frame set by the president,\u201d said Ching\u2019ani.<\/p>\n

The memo further advises secretariat to indicate individuals assigned specific duties and the time allocated for such tasks. On Monday, Chakwera also expressed concerns over procurement delays on various crucial projects including the all critical Nsanje-Marka Railway Line.<\/p>\n

The president warmed that he will deal with all officers \u2018sitting\u2019 on procurement processes for such crucial projects. \u201cHonourable Minister Jacob Hara and your team, I am directing that we shouldn\u2019t go beyond four months finalising the designs and procurement of works, before all is set to commence on this road\u201d, ordered Chakwera.<\/p>\n
