The Dowa District Council has approved the service charters for water, health, education, agriculture and environment with a call to all governance partners in the district to start implementing them now.
The service charters were formulated by the Malawi Human Rights Resource Centre (MHRRC) with financial and technical assistance from the Danish Church Aid (DCA) in two traditional authorities of the district, Kayembe and Chiwere.
The approval by the council is a step forward for all the partners to support the implementation of the charters to the other traditional authorities such as Mkukula, Dzoole, Msakambewa, Chakhaza, Chiwere and Mponela.
Speaking Thursday during a District executive council committee meeting held at the boma, Dowa District Council’s Acting Director of Planning and Development, Martin Pindamkono called on partners to start now supporting meetings with fuel and other resources for selling the service charters to the public in the district for smooth implementation.
Pindamkono said with the formulation of the charters, the communities of the district will be expecting a lot from the council’s service deliveries, hence relying on partners to help carry the message across.
Dowa district Acting Education Manager (DEM), Josephy Chafukira asked the partners to come in and support any sector can be good for them so that all the people in the district benefit equally.
In her remarks, the MHRRC’s Project Officer, Chimwemwe Sakunda thanked the council for approving the service standards saying the formulation of the standards was not for his organization only but the council as a whole.
“If all the partners and stakeholders take a lead in selling out the formulated charters to those who are in need, Dowa will move to another level in the interest of all,” Sakunda said.
She informed the house that a partner, the Parent and Child Initiative (PACHI), has pledged to support the translation of the charters from English to Chichewa for all the people in the district to understand and take part in the implementation processes.
The MHRRC is implementing a two year (2016 – 2018) Citizen Voice and Action in Local Governance and Development Processes project in the areas of Traditional Authorities Kayembe and Chiwere in Dowa district with similar interventions in Chitipa district.
I WANT TO JOIN CHRISTIANITY. #my confession… 5 years ago while at high school, many pastors convinced me to start worshiping Jesus. Told me Jesus is God. I was happy and asked them please offer me a bible. They happily gave me. I Settled my mind so that I must start worshiping Jesus our GOD. On the first day of opening the bible I read. Luke book and it says …then the angel of GOD appeared to Mary and Joseph and commanded them to flee with the Child to Egypt. Before my mind settled in believing that Jesus is God I was unsettled With that on my first attempt. ##so which God commanded to flee with child jesus?????? Am confused but I bear patience. So which one must I worship now.?? I found Mathew 4:10 Jesus says scripture says u must worship Lord your God serve only him. .then I was satisfied my heart settled that I must worship only God. But which God is that that deserve to be worshiped ????I found John 4:23 The time is coming is already here when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in truth. I realized that true worshiping is only to the Father not Jesus who by then was still son of God. Now my question forwarded to Jesus. Are u that father??? He shown me Mathew 23:9 don’t call anyone here on earth a father because there is only one father in heaven. (This time jesus too was on earth that indicates he was not that Father). ###my argument continued …. Hey Jesus but why do u call God as your Father u are confusing me.. ##Jesus replied because u are gentile but in our Jewish custom father is God because God used to call us as his sons. So in opposite we call him Father. But fact God is father of everybody John 20:17. My God and Your God.my father and your Father. At this time I realized that what pastors taught me were malicious lies and fabrication man-made teachings. Jesus continued and when u pray say Our Father in heaven. Complementing that God is Father of everybody. In disbelieve I asked Jesus using the bible. Is this GOD also Your God? Do u share with us??? He replied…. Listen God our Lord is only one God. Mark 12:29 There is no other than him. Mark 12:34. Hey guys I was amused did not believe according to what pastors told me. I asked so whom do we worship now.? He took me back Mathew 4:10 worship only God. Now I was getting my senses Do u jesus also worship…??? He relied Mathew 26:38 ..Jesus said let us go to worship and he spent whole night worshiping.. Why u Jesus do u do miracles are u God?? He said didn’t u understood all what I said above.??? I said I do””’ but answer me please. He shown me John 10:25 …I do miracles in the name of father God. Because John 5:30 I myself I can do nothing. I run fast to desciples to confirm that. They said read Acts 2:22. After that I believed. So Jesus do u have authority He said yes! Only if given by God. As others were also given. But all authority belongs to God. Mathew 20:23. After that I asked people who exactly walked and knew JESUS. Who is Jesus????? They said a Prophet of GOD …mathew 21:11 In my my journey to jesus led me to Islam. Quran 19..Jesus said.God is my Lord and your your God. Worship him only that is the straight path. Qur’an 36:7 indeed the word of punishment has proved true against most of them, so they will not believe. Qur’an 17:22 Set not up with Allah any god partners, O man you will sit down reproved, forsaken in the hell fire. Because I God tolerate no partners -Exodus 34:14.
