Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>President Dr. Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera says quality road infrastructure is key in enhancing the integration of local and international markets, which, in turn, induces improvements in productivity, leading to wealth creation and helping people to move out of poverty.<\/p>\n

Chakwera has since commended the Government of Japan for the financial and technical support it provides towards construction and rehabilitation of strategic roads in Malawi.<\/p>\n

The Malawi leader made the remarks on Wednesday when he inspected development projects in the City of Lilongwe.<\/p>\n

President Chakwera said he was particularly happy that, apart from financing road projects, the Japanese Government is also providing technical and financial support in energy and education sectors, among others.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, I love the Japanese way of doing development, because they don\u2019t make noise, they don\u2019t blow their own trumpet, they don\u2019t use their money to manipulate or intimidate us, they don\u2019t court media attention, and they don\u2019t criticize our country because they know that doing so is like criticizing the furniture in the house where you have been welcomed as a guest. Anthu a ku Japan amangofuna azigwira ntchito zachitukuko, ndiye mayiko oterewa ndi amene tizigwira nawo ntchito,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said the rehabilitation of the M1 Road will last for a generation.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce the improvements of this road are done, along with the improvements being made from Kanengo to Crossroads with support from China, the improvements being made to Kenyatta and Mzimba Streets with our own finances, the improvements we are designing for the road from Chidzanja to Nathenje, from Kamuzu International Airport to Kanengo, and Kaunda and Chendawaka roads, Lilongwe will be transformed and be the pride of our country,\u201d he narrated.<\/p>\n

President Chakwera directed the Minister of Transport and Public Works, Jacob Hara, to stay vigilant on the progress of the Dzaleka \u2013 Ntchisi \u2013 Malomo Road, the Nsanama \u2013 Nayuchi road, the Mkanda \u2013 Kapiri road, the Monkey bay \u2013 Cape Maclear road, the Mzimba \u2013 Mzarangwe Road, the Ntcheu -Tsangano \u2013 Neno \u2013 Mwanza road, the Njakwa \u2013 Livingstonia road, the Kaphatenga \u2013 Benga road, and the Chitipa \u2013 Ilomba road.<\/p>\n

These are the roads the Chakwera administration is constructing. He challenged contractors to ensure speed and quality, stressing that Malawians want to enjoy these developments.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am also directing you, Minister, to see to it that the following roads that I have secured financial support for are commenced this year: the M5 road from Benga to Dwangwa that will be cofinanced by the African Development Bank and OPEC Fund; the Liwonde \u2013 Matawale road that will be financed by the World Bank; the road from Nsipe to Liwonde that will be funde by the African Development Bank and European Union; the Mangochi \u2013 Makanjira road that I secured finance for from the Saudi Fund for Development in November,\u201d said Chakwera.<\/p>\n

Speaking earlier, Hara said the Chakwera administration embarked on a programme to decongest city roads by increasing their capacity to accommodate the ever increasing number of vehicles.<\/p>\n

Hara said the programme will include capacity improvement of a number of key roads within the city, construction of fly-over bridges and overpasses.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is our belief that once these interventions are completed, Lilongwe City will be in a better position to deal with the congestion for many years to come. Some of the projects include capacity improvement of the road from the Kamuzu International Airport passing through the City, all the way up to Nathenje. Some sections of this road are already under construction, others are under design with construction works to commence after finalising the designs.<\/p>\n

Other roads within the city earmarked for capacity improvement include, the Kaunda and Chendawaka roads from Mchinji road roundabout to Area 25 and joining the M001 road at Kanengo. The Kenyatta and Mzimba streets, are currently under construction, and the Lali Lubani road. Other roads that are also being considered for expansion are the Chidzanja road and the Youth drive,\u201d said the minister.<\/p>\n
