Can I appeal to Nyasa editors to be rejecting such articles or sending them back for more information? This is a rumour. A credible article quotes a source. You cannot have the whole story not quoting anyone.

Secondly, the media has been misleading people by calling it a spy machine. In fact, it the media that popularized that it is a spy ma machine. Please do a bit a research. If a reporter does not understand how the machine works how will readers understand it?

DPP is using this machine to steal money from govt. In the first place the DPP-led govt was wrong to buy this machine. It would have bought water pumps to pump water from Lake Nyasa and other water bodies to end reliance on erratic rain-fed agriculture. When maize wilts 500 meters away from the lake, does that not make DPP govt think that the spy machine is a poor choice? Between tele-communication and hunger, which one does DPP prioritize?

The author of this article needs to get his/her facts right.
In the first place Nsaliwa is not PS at the ministry of Information neither does he sit on the board.
The upgrade is not coming at US$13million but this the price if the system was to be procured today. That is MACRA will be required to pay the difference of US$13million and US$6 million
The upgrade is not for software alone but for both software and hardware bringing in more functionalities that were not there before including better processing power.

so, let me understand this. We bought this machine for USD6million and we want to upgrade it at twice the cost of purchase? Are we so stupid as to be this careless with money that we do not seem to have? We just had a massive flood and the most the government could raise was MK1billion, and we have some MK6Billion somewhere to upgrade a machine we bought for MK2.5billion? Can we have an a report of what we have gained from this machine so far? Can parliament sit down and discuss, scrutinise and call the MACRA people to explain… Read more »

While on the same it has come to my attention that some unscrupulous members of the public are conniving with some staff at Airtel/Tnm to produce call logs without the concert of the owner or authority from the court. they are paid some money by these evil minds.
