| Work Detail |
Malawi housing for security agencies for a long time has been inadequate. This has prompted the Malawian government to launch Malawi Security Agencies’ Houses project under which 10,000 residences will be built for the Malawi Defence Force, Malawi Police Service, and Malawi Prison Service.
The Malawi housing for Security Agencies project began in December 2021 and has been dispersed across the country, with 1,000 residences under construction in the first phase.
Jenda Police Station alone in Mzimba is scheduled to have 100 additional residences, but only ten are now being built in the first phase. Eight of the ten positions are for young officers, while two are for senior officers. The residences will be completed and inhabited by the end of June 2022.
Deus Gumba, Deputy Minister of Lands, stated that President Lazarus Chakwera‘s intention was to ensure that troops and police officers are appropriately housed, adding that he was pleased with the building work being done at Jenda Police Station. |
