I have had colleagues in the ministry who are water engineers. Feasibility studies were done during the colonial era and were done again under Dr Banda. The conclusion was that the Shire Valley could feed the nation under irrigation. But these docs are collecting dust at the Ministry.

For Chaponda to say this will come in 2018, it is campaing gimmick as they did with Nsanje port to buy votes. We want irrigation to start not and not later.

What does Pat Kaliati say now? A month ago she was frothing on radio that the FISP cannot be stopped.

The agriculturist Alan failed miserably to perform in his own professional ministry. But it seems this lawyer is far better than Alan, it just shows that sometimes an outsider does better than insiders who think they know everything but fail solve problems. Alan, being an agriculturist thought everything will be easy, falling into the very obvious sin of complacency. Good riddance. Now to make you perfect dr chaponda, take away your inherent nepotism and tribalism tendencies. Then you will be a good man. You have started very well in agriculture ministry, moving in the right direction and this is coming… Read more »

Chaponda is the absolute Presidential material Malawi needs because the guy is a performer and has an excellent track record having worked in key Ministries of Education, Foreign Affairs, Justice and now Agriculture. If you look at the other Ministers in cabinet now there is no one who can rival this as some have previously been unsuccessful businessmen or teachers. Chaponda”s profile beats all of them with his working experience in the UN. I do not come from his area but come from the north and feel he is the man to rule Malawi after APRM
