She said her ministry will investigate matters surrounding the project.<\/p>\n<p>NyaLonje was surprised that the contractor went with a certificate of completion and a lot of money was paid yet constriction hasn\u2019t been finalised. \u201cWe have so many questions; what happened? Where is the money for the project? Who allowed this to happen? Those questions have to be answered,\u201d said NyaLonje.<\/p>\n<p>She has warned that government will not tolerate any negative issue in government projects. She, therefore, called upon the people of Nsanje to actively participate in project implementation as one way of ensuring quality in projects.<\/p>\n<p>The Minister has promised the people of Nsanje that government will make sure that the project is completed so that the youth in the district should benefit as others are doing.<\/p>\n<p>Nsanje District Council Chairperson, Mike Kafalachi, said for a long time the district has been a victim of substandard construction works and there is need for government to task contractors who offer substandard work. Kafalachi revealed that Nsanje District Council was not involved in any way regarding construction of the college which started in 2019.<\/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.
