He is the new face of local Government. Although Mayor, Noel Chalamanda has only been
in office for a year, he has
revolutionized the way people interface with Local Councils and the
delivery of public services in Malawi’s
Metropolitan City of Blantyre. The City’s Council has been given a shot of efficiency served with a
people-focus approach. The man behind it
recently shared his secret with me
Patricia Mtungila as I wore the cap of
freelancer.
“I am just a person who was born and raised in Blantyre and
who understands what Blantyre was is and
could be if we all played our part…”
Chalamanda says that the secret behind Blantyre’s apt
transformation is
"Nothing magical. I respond to people’s queries through
different media especially social media, listen to suggestions, take time to
meet a lot of people in my office regardless of their age or status in society,
listen and discuss issues.”
Despite, this mammoth
shift in style of public service
delivery, there are no grunts. The people of Blantyre completely adore Mayor
Chalamanda for his ability to innovatively deliver on his promise to serve
Blantyre residents by bringing
about tangible change to the streets of Blantyre in so little time. More here https://www.google.com/#q=my+everyday+malawi
