Preparations for the launch of the first ever Macha Chiefdom Development Strategic Plan slated for August this year have reached an advanced stage.
Royal council secretary Aaron Chileshe says officials from Choma district government offices visited the venue today and declared it ready for the much anticipated event to be graced by Republican President Edgar Lungu.
“We are from the venue where the president will officially launch our chiefdom’s development strategic plan,” Chileshe said in a statement. “Some officials from the govt came to assess the progress and have declared it ready to host the first event of its kind in our Chiefdom.”
He says locals in the chiefdom are eagerly awaiting the event and implementation of the projects to be outlined in the plan, adding that the plan will act as a catalyst to the chiefdom’s development as it will aid in attaining meaningful goals for the chiefdom.
“Our people are eagerly waiting for this occasion, especially the implementation of programs and projects that are outlined in the plan. This is indeed a milestone in the development of the area,” he pointed out.
Macha chiefdom is located 68 Km west of Choma district in Southern Province. It consists of about one hundred and five villages.
The chiefdom will be launching its maiden development strategic plan on the 7th of August this year. The plan will be a guide to the implementation of certain essential projects in the Chiefdom.
Ideas were collected from various villages as a way of involving subjects in the development of the Chiefdom. Booklets containing the plan and vision will be given to all village headmen and other stake holders.
