‘‘We have plans, and some of the plans are to initiate developmental projects that you are seeing across, therefore expect more from us.’’ the president added.

In his remarks, MCP Deputy Secretary General, Gerald Kazembe thanked Chakwera for putting efforts to improve livelihoods of people in the country regardless of region.
