Chairperson for the Parliamentary Committee on Commissions, Statutory Cooperations and State Enterprises, Binton Kutsaira says progress of the Malawi Rural Electrification Programme 9 (MAREP-9) compliments sentiments by the line ministry that the project is at an advanced stage.
This comes following the committee’s visit at MAREP warehouse in Mzuzu and Chigwere site in the area of Senior Chief Nyaliwanga in Nkhata Bay District on Friday.
According to Kutsaira, the project which is being implemented across the country provides life-changing opportunities to people living in rural communities as they can be engaged in diverse economic activities to improve their lives.
“What the committee has observed complements sentiments made by the Minister of Energy in parliament indicating that the program is in its advanced stage. The committee has therefore, acquired evidence based on what is on ground,” he said.
