It has been
observed that some developments in Mchinji district are not being implemented
due to poor coordination between community members and their members of parliament.
The
observation was made during an interface meeting on Wednesday which was organised
by Centre for human rights and rehabilitation with assistance from Tilitonse
fund, at Rewards Lodge in Mchinji District.
According to
some developmental spectators in the district some MPs prefer to stay away from
their constituencies which they said is one of the factors that affect
development in most parts of the district.
They further
said people are looking for more developments that need to be implemented in
various areas by their responsible MPs but they do not show interest in
developing their communities.
Among
members of parliament who attended the interface meeting parliamentarian for
Mchinji South west Honorable Francis Musa who said many people fail to
differentiate between Member of Parliament and ward councilor which brings a
lot of confusion.
“We have
been asked to do some work which is more designated to ward councilor”
Honorable Mussa says.
But in responding
to the complaints the program manager for CHRR Mr. Timothy Mtambo said most of
the people in the country start pointing fingers at their members of parliament
forgetting their role as citizen’s in as far as developmental activities are
concerned in the country.
“It is surprising
that people start accusing their member of parliament for not availing
themselves to the constituents while they do not invite them.” Mtambo says.
But Mtambo
further says CHRR will continue bringing together people in different
constituencies closer to their members of parliament.
Centre for
human rights and rehabilitation is implementing the project in four traditional
authorities namely Mavwere , Zulu, Mlonyeni and sub traditional authority Nyoka
