The yet to start construction of Mzuzu Youth Centre has once again been allocated K780 million while indoor netball court will project will get K300 million.

But Nyasa Big Bullets and Be Forward Wanderers stadia projects , launched by former president Peter Mutharika during election campaign, have not been allocated any funds.

Ministry of Finance spokesperson Williams Banda said they allocate funds based on ministries’ plans.

“The ministries decide which projects they want to prioritise. We only follow what they have asked for,” he said.

Minister of Youth and Sports Ulemu Msungama earlier said the Tonse Alliance administration could not prioritise construction of Bullets ad Wanderers stadiums because they were not on their agenda.

He, however, said government has not abandoned the projects and will still construct the stadia for the two clubs.

Malawi National Council of Sports acting executive secretary Henry Mereka said they proposed the rehabilitation of Kamuzu Institute to turn the facility into a sports village as the country is preparing to host the Region 5 Games.

“Of course, we have been motivated by the hosting of the Region 5 Games. We would like to see the venue having modern facilities. But the plan goes beyond the Region 5 Games,” he said.

Apart from rehabilitation of basketball, volleyball, netball courts, running tracks and football pitch, the facility will also have a gymnasium and swimming pool.
