Senior chiefs from Nsanje said this on Thursday after meeting President Chakwera at Sanjika Palace in Blantyre. Senior Chief Malemia said instead, the chiefs assured President Chakwera of their full support, saying the president\u2019s development agenda is impressive.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople should allow the President to govern without any disturbance, the issues of economic challenges being highlighted for example, are a global concern,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The traditional leader said the chiefs commended President Chakwera for implementing a K69 billion Marka- Bangula railway rehabilitation project, which they say will boost the country\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n
