These stupid DPP idiots have been told again and again about what sustainable development is all about How can the president peddle this stupid compendium without understanding that in order to attract investors government must get its house in order. Infrastructure is paramount to any development particularly in attracting investors. We have roads that are in very poor condition. Electricity that is intermittent and unreliable, water that is becoming an issue in our cities and security that would make any investor clinch! How can we say welcome to Malawi we are open for business? This administration is too busy trying… Read more »

Can not over emphasize the importance of basic infrastructural projects and the opening of opportunities to empower the people through free enterprise , creativity , and hard honest work to provide for their families , strengthening communities, by the enabling them to develop their full potential.

This is a good article just well written. I think there are a number of things we need to consider when looking at development of a good road network. i. A good road network needs to be planned to answer future needs. Today, at the point when the president dreams to have a party public rally, he calls upon his minister to organize one and make an appeasement statement. With such a move, it becomes very difficult to construct a standard road as you rush the roads through to meet the promises made. Good work cannot be achieved. ii. If… Read more »

Good article but what you have forgotten or missed to talk about is quality. In the past 15 years we have seen a lot of roads being constructed but my worry is the finished product. I do not know whether the problem is with Mota Engil or our supervising engineers. I have mentioned Mota Engil because all major roads projects have been handled by Mota Engil. Can Roads Authority and Malaw Institute of Engineers school me on this. Who is really problem? Let me list the works done by Mota Engil which I have problem with. 1. Midima Road 2.… Read more »

Totally agree with the article. What i would add is that these projects need to be finished within their time scale, funds earmarked for these projects should not be diverted elsewhere. Once completed, a proper maintenance regime should be followed otherwise we will end up with the same crumbling kamuzu roads that each succesive govts have failed to maintain. Building is one thing, maintaining is another.

Right track? yet it was only a symbolic occassion. Dont just construct roads, but construct durable, wide modern roads. So far major roads in Malawi look like a path going to a village house
