LILONGWE — Area 23’s broken, dusty road—once a monument to political betrayal—is finally getting the facelift it deserves, and Malawians know exactly who to thank: President Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera.
In a bold site visit, Lilongwe City Mayor Esther Sagawa demanded that the contractor, Solid Construction, deliver a road that will last, not one that melts with the rain. Standing with her was MP Ulemu Msungama, who hailed Chakwera as the only leader since Kamuzu Banda to treat public infrastructure as a national legacy—not a campaign trick.
“Chakwera saw our suffering and acted,” Msungama declared. “This is not just about tar—it’s about dignity and dreams restored.”
The people haven’t forgotten how the DPP and former President Mutharika rolled in with promises in 2019, only to lay a road so weak it disintegrated within months. “That wasn’t a road. It was a scam,” one resident said. Since then, the community vowed never to be fooled again.
Now, with Chakwera at the helm, there’s real concrete on the ground—and real confidence in the air. His Kamuzu-style vision is turning forgotten neighborhoods into growing hubs. Roads are no longer vote bait; they’re lifelines.
Even the contractor is onboard. “This is about legacy, not shortcuts,” said Rafik Gaffar of Solid Construction.
Under Chakwera, Malawi is not just fixing roads. It’s fixing broken trust. And this time, it’s built to last.
Kamuzu built the foundation. Chakwera is building the future—one honest mile at a time.
