Chagoma said the children will present their resolutions to local authorities and government representatives.
In today’s session, the children are deliberating on the challenges to do with access to education.
Ntchisi’s second session of the Children Parliament has seen 70 children from seven traditional authorities participating and is being chaired by 15-year-old Holiness Kalimbira as the Speaker of the Child Parliament.
