The said local development structures claimed to be dissolved including Area Development Committees (ADCs), Area Executive Committees (AECs) and Village Development Committees (VDCs). The memo dated September 12, 2018, in our possession, Phalombe DC Mafuta said the local government ministry directed that ADCs, AECs and VDCs be dissolved that the process to constitute new development structures commerces. DC Mafuta further said the exercise be done with the an aim of aligning their term of office to that of electoral calendar of 2019.
