By Alfred Mthandizi

Felix Kasinda Mbewe, a young man based in Lilongwe aspiring to become Member of Parliament in Mchinji, made history, when he handed over medical drugs and other medical supplies at Kumikundi Health Center worth K0.5Million. Communities said the development was the first time that a son from the village donated drugs.

In his speech, Kasinda said he decided to come at the center after hearing reports that some women and children were not receiving adequate medical attention whenever they were sick. “It’s a pity to see our women and children suffering by travelling long distance and yet they don’t find drugs,” said Kasinda.

In his speech, Principal Senior Group Village Headman Mkangira commended Kasinda for the gesture. Mkangira said the village which is located in the area of Traditional Authority Mduwa that has a lot of rich business people but they have not done anything towards the health center.

Medical assistant Reckson Njiragoma said the hospital is facing challenges because it is currently serving 67,000 people which are beyond its planned figures. Njirangoma said currently, the center has no adequate functioning toilets. Kasinda promised to build new facilities.

Items which Kasinda brought at the center include; Disposable gloves, Methylated spirit, Paracetamol suspension, Paracetamol tablets, syringes, cotton and wool. Kasinda realizing brought in sugar, Soya pieces and many other items.

Speaking to The Malawi Star during the event at Mponda CCAP Mission, Chitete said the festival was aimed at bringing his constituents from different denominations together to praise God through singing.

“As Member of Parliament for this constituency, I decided to organise this gospel music show as one way of giving back to the people of my constituency.

This is not a competition but a celebration. The people have supported me in my political career and in my vision to develop this area,” he said.

Chitete added that the show was meant to keep the youth, women, and men busy to avoid indulging themselves in bad manners that can put their lives at risk. During the gospel show, Chitete donated K10, 000 each to 35 choir groups, which participated in the gospel show to help them buy group uniforms.

“We expect to hold another show in July this year at Kapiri to support more choirs and each choir will receive K15, 000 for participating in the show,” He added.

Apart from the Gospel show, Chitete also sponsors the Pompopompo Football and Netball Bonanza in Mchinji North-East Constituency worth K10 million.

Last year, the MP also hosted the Pompopompo Gospel explosion show, where 23 choirs from different denominations participated.
