Chimwendo made the sentiments when he was responding to a call from chiefs of Msinja South Constituency where Chimwendo Banda was invited to be the Guest of Honour at the ceremony of celebrating Chewa Heritage by recognizing chiefs who have been custodians of Gule Wamkulu in the constituency.
“Legitimate request! We really need to do that because we know that the moment we gave fertilizer to our people in time they will be able to grow their crops effectively but if we delay that won’t work, so we have taken message and we are going to use that message and make sure that fertilizer is here in time,” he said.
