Mwanza, May 17: Minister of Local Government, Unity and Culture, Richard Chimwendo Banda has expressed satisfaction with progress of the construction of Mwanza Stadium worth K3.7 billion.
He expressed the satisfaction on Thursday when he toured the project site to appreciate status of the work after a ground breaking ceremony by President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera in January this year.
“I am satisfied with both progress and quality of the work and I believe this will continue to meet the target of February 2025,” said Banda.
District Public Works Officer, Eric Nyekanyeka said that the work is on good course because the contractor Bonongwe Construction has already finished constructing perimeter fence, toilets and ticket selling rooms and this gives hope to meet the dead line.
“All materials required were already bought and there is good coordination between the council and the contractor,” said Nyekanyeka.
One of the workers at the construction site, Chimwemwe Kadongo thanked government for the project which provided her employment opportunity to support her households.
Later, Chimwendo Banda proceeded to Senior Chief Nthache Headquarters to appreciate construction work of the chief’s house which is underway with government funding under Chiefs Housing Programme.
After touring the house project, Banda said government appreciates the role traditional leaders play in the country, adding this was the reason government embarked on the programme.
“This facility is part of motivation to chiefs so that support provided to the government to achieve its development agenda is continued for the benefit of people in the country,”said Banda.
Senior Chief Nthache commended government for the house, saying the house will be a decent one with spacious rooms to accommodate visitors.
“As chiefs we receive a lot of visitors. This house is going to solve accommodation problem here at the headquarters,” said Nthache.
