By Smile Hamilton, Malawi 

His Excellency, Dr. Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera, President of the Republic of Malawi, on Monday, held a meeting with chiefs from the Lakeshore District of Nkhotakota at Kamuzu Palace in Lilongwe.

The meeting provides a platform for the chiefs to engage in direct discussions with President Chakwera on the current state of development regarding their respective communities, shedding light on existing social and economic challenges affecting their livelihoods, and further propose ways and means of correcting them.

Since coming to power, the President Chakwera led administration has placed traditional leaders at the heart of its programmes, owing to their authority and proximity to the people.

In attendance are senior chiefs, traditional authorities (T/As), sub-traditional authorities, group village women, headmen and Minister of Local Government and Unity, Hon Chimwendo Richard William Banda.
