President Mnangagwa has directed Government ministries and departments to provide services and utilities that uplift the livelihoods and standing of chiefs and other traditional leaders.
These include the construction and maintenance of access roads to chiefs’ homesteads, electrification of their homes, provision of water and sanitation facilities, as well as the tillage programme.
In his remarks at the hand-over of vehicles to chiefs in Harare today, the President expressed the Government’s commitment to improving their welfare.
“My Government shall continuously pursue such interventions to improve the welfare and general conditions of service for our esteemed chiefs,” said President Mnangagwa.
“The Second Republic has put together a scheme that will enable all traditional leaders to access medical assistance through medical insurance, as well as a funeral assistance package for our dearly departed chiefs.
“Government will continue to improve the conditions of service for traditional leaders so that they become truly esteemed and dignified leaders.”
