Homeland Security Minister Jean Sendeza issued the directive during the handover of 20 staff houses by the Ministry of Lands to the Ministry of Homeland Security on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>The event took place at Mzuzu Prison. \u201cI have also emphasised that those that will be using the houses should take good care of them,\u201d Sendeza said. In his remarks, Lands Deputy Minister Deus Gumba said the first phase faced challenges such as Covid, which delayed the project.<\/p>\n<p>Gumba disclosed that, by the end of this month, the ministry will be asking those who are interested in constructing 2,300 units of houses to submit documents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur plan is that construction of 10,000 houses should be finished in the 2024-25 fiscal year,\u201d he said. Meanwhile, Phiri has said the houses will serve as a source of motivation to security agency workers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStaff members will also be reporting for duty in time, even when there are emergencies. We are happy that the houses are modern,\u201d Phiri said.<\/p>\n<p>The 20 houses are part of the 1,000 houses constructed during the first phase. President Lazarus Chakwera made the construction of 10,000 houses for those that work for security agencies one of his flagship programmes. He launched the project at Ipyana in Karonga District in December 2020.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/malawi\">Malawi<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Malawi.
