Lack of clean water that frequently lead to cholera outbreak and other waterborne diseases will be a thing of the past, thanks to Abida Mia for drilling five boreholes in Nsanje central.
Speaking to our reporters during the commissioning of a borehole at Gauzeni village in the area of Chief Tengani in Nsanje district,Mia said she was deeply concerned with water scarcity, a problem which mostly affect women through walking long distances to access portable water.
Said Abida Mia: “I was so touched after learning from Shadow Member of Parliament for Nsanje central, Kafandikhale Mandevana, that the whole area have had water challenges for the past twelve years. On this note,I decided to drill at least five boreholes so that people should drink clean water”.
“This is just the beginning of everything. I will drill some more boreholes in the area so that everyone is reached with portable water sources”,promised Mia.
The firebrand politician who is also law maker for Chikwawa Nkombedzi and Deputy Minister of Lands, is well known to live up to all her promises and recently she told the crowds that she would be implementing several projects in Nsanje central constituency in order to meet people’s demands.
Meanwhile, shadow member of parliament for Nsanje central constituency, Kafandikhale Mandevana, has commended the gesture by Mia saying this will go a long way in alleviating the water woes that has had rocked the constituency for the past twelve years.
Mandevana comes contesting with DPP aspirant Francis Kansaira in Nsanje north, after the High Court nullified the parliamentary elections of 2019 qualifying massive irregularities. There are high hopes Mandevana would carry the day come 30 March 2021, as the campaigns promises a huge turn out of audience during his rallies.
