Consult chiefs before creating districts – Chanje

By Staff Reporter

Chief Chanje of the Chewa people in Chipata district has welcomed the establishment of the new districts in Chipangali and Kasenengwa constituencies respectively.

In a statement to newsdayzambia.com, Chief Chanje has however reminded government to exhaust the formalities of creating districts by clearly indicating where the actual central district centres would be located.

“I’m advising that government needs to pay courtesy calls on the two paramount Chiefs Kalonga Gawa Undi and Inkosi Ya Ma Nkosi Mpezeni to discuss the creation of the districts as they have not been informed officially on the matter,” said chief Chanje.

“As far as I’m concerned, all the 8 chiefs in Chipangali and 4 chiefs in Kasenengwa have never signed any document regarding the matter.”
