Kachali asks govt to renovate ex-MYP bases

 

Mzimba South West legislator Khumbo Kachali (People’s Party-PP) has asked government to consider turning ex-Malawi Young Pioneers (MYP) bases into youth centres or community colleges.

Standing to supplement a question by Zomba Changalume member of Parliament (MP) John Chikalimba yesterday, Kachali said something needs to be done to help the youth.

He said it would be good if the Ministry of Labour, Youth, Sports and Manpower Development made use of the structures which he observed are strong and need minor renovations to be utilised than keeping them unused.

Kachali:There are many structures

“There are many structures that were left by the MYP that can be revamped into youth centres or community colleges. A bit of touch to them can bring transformation. I have in mind Kamwanjiwa base, the structures are strong and solid but they are just lying idle,” said Kachali.

In response, Minister of Industry, Trade and Tourism Henry Mussa, who was responding on collective responsibility because the Minister of Labour, Youth, Sports and Manpower Development Francis Kasaila was not in the House, said government will look into that and inform the House on the next step.

“We really have structures that belonged to MYP and can be used for our youth development programmes. In the case of Kamwanjiwa, we will look into that,” he said. n
