Bola ife we rely on dead people the more you die the more revenue we make. No tender nothing. When u die there is no time for tender and bidding. Malawians come and do this business. Its good. Stop fighting with Escom.

its true that govt needs to support local companies. But wait a minutes, these are the same people who were inflating figures for the tender to repatriate Malawians from RSA following the xenophobia. RSA companies ere charging K3.9 million per bus and yet Malawian bus companies were demanding K8.1 million for the same work.

So how can you be considered? Musiye katangale ku IBAM. Olo biii muzingolira! Ndalam mumapangira matama kugula mpando kuti mukhale pamodzi ndi president wherever there is a function.

Escom officials stop commenting nonsense. Who does not know that some of u have foreign bank accounts where foreign companies drop off money? Amwenye a Malawi ndiye onse akuba very corrupt. Lido electricals eish mbava. Ask Malawians if they can match what Indians and make a deal or evaluate proffesional.

I don’t understand Mr Mlombwa here. So he is admitting that you cant get a contract without bribing whether you are an indigenous Malawian or not.He also says foreign companies get all the contracts yet he is saying Malawians of Indian origin are getting the contracts ….so being Malawian of Indian origin is being foreign….Mr Mlombwa kukonda kulira pena pali ponse…..Do a proper before bidding , don’t just say its corruption when you are not awarded a contract.
