Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Lilongwe City Council has asked contractors for the construction of a shopping mall along the Kaunda road in Area 49, to submit a new design for the project or risk demolition due to what it calls substandard works.<\/p>\n

The City Mayor, Richard Banda claims that the contractors, Guoji diverted from an initial design that was submitted to the council and demanded the company to explain why the design approved by the council are not being used.<\/p>\n

According to Banda, the council will demolish the building if the company does not cooperate. Alfonso Chikuni Engineers Institute of Malawi President, has told the local media that the council\u2019s intervention is a welcome development.<\/p>\n

However there have been concerns over the type of buildings being constructed in Lilongwe with some residents saying that many newly constructed buildings are not adding to the beauty of the city and some are inferior to buildings constructed over 20 years ago.<\/p>\n
