The DC who is new in Thyolo was updated about the project and what was outstanding; such as water, electricity and sanitatary facilities.
Members were advised that Satemwa JB had paid for the electrical connection and that using the Consituency Development Fund, the water and toilets were being provided for.
The DC suggested we go to the site to appreciate what was done and agree on the way forward. on arrival at the site thwe District Commissioner said, "It is very unfortunate not to have started using such a magnificent stracture". Then it was time for discussions; and the following was agreed:
- That the water, electricity and toilets be speeded up
- That by mid April eeverything should be finished.
- That handing over should be by end April 2012
The DC feels people have been deprived of a decent place while looking after their sick relatives.
He has promised to use his influence to ensure the structure is handed over to the users.
