Speaking to the huge crowd gathered at Namilango School Ground Chimwala promised to construct a Technical College and to renovate South Lunzu Health Centre once elected as lawmaker for the constituency.
“I always feel sorry when i see the status of South Lunzu Health Centre which has no mortuary. My mother died right there at the hospital and her body was just dropped in the corridor. There was no dignity at all and once am elected i will construct a private room where all dead bodies will be kept waiting for loved ones to collect it.

“If you want to enjoy a meaningful development in Machinjiri vote for the youthful man honorable Alex Chimwala koma zinazija muzingozitayisa nthawi chabe,” Muluzi was quoted as saying.
Echoing Muluzi’s remarks Chikufenji said: “am here to support my brother Alex Chimwala and i urge you all to do so on September 16. Chimwala has been with us in all times despite him losing the polls in 2019 and lets try him now. Obwelawa akangowina azatithawa.”
