“This meeting is great because three service provider institutions have joined hands to spread the message.
“We want to tell people about how much money is lost through vandalism and how this negatively contributes to the development of the country,” he said.
LWB director of finance Steve Mbewe said his institution is affected by theft of water valves, water meters, pipes and unnecessary blockage of running water pipes.
Lilongwe City Council mayor Willie Chapondera promised to help the institutions in their campaign by engaging fellow councillors to take an active role and spread the messages. n
