“Current persistent and long blackouts are unacceptable….”. So what are you going to do about it minister? This is typical empty long talk but without any action! This was obviously aimed at impressing foreign audience – the donor community. I can bet that when the minister arrived back to his house at the exclusive suburb in Area 10 or Area Cashgate there was no power blackout or, at least there was a tax-funded gen set providing power to the house! The problem is that these people don’t experience what we ordinary Malawians go through so they can’t appreciate the importance… Read more »

These are the same thieves who are stealing money from poor Malawians. They need to be gathered and set on fire.

His boss is talking highly about education on a global forum and is doing nothing at home and you are the responsible minister for Energie… and apart from talking again “nothing”! Unfortunately: From nothing comes nothing! No production, no foreign investment no economic recovery.

Zuma dismissed the whole management team and board Directors at Eskom in South Africa and there are no more blackouts. Why can’t you do the same here so that staff at ESCOM realizes why they are employed in the first place? By saying blackouts are unacceptable, it is equally unacceptable to tell us about persistent black outs without coming up with a solution. Are you earning a salary just to say this nonsense or to give us hope that you are doing something to address the problem? We are not interested in your political rhetorics, but action. IF MCA is… Read more »

Don’t tell us what we want to hear just for the sake of it Mr Mandevu Msaka. This is a real problem and it is messing up peoples’ lives. Malawians are living in the Dark Ages because of Escom’s downright poor performance. If you don’t have immediate solutions, then get out of that ministerial portfolio. If you cant handle the heat, get the hell out of the kitchen!

The Minister is passing the buck here, whose Ministry does Escom fall under? Talk about lack of proper planning. Come year-end the bosses will rake in big bonuses.

So the current persistent and long hours of power blackouts as unacceptable and other sources of energy are coal, thermal, solar, wind and hydro kinetic!! Basi? How long are we going to get this jazz? Bambo Msaka what do you mean when you say and I quote: “it is not understandable that Escom is failing to provide electricity to the nation yet only 10 percent of the 17 million Malawians are connected to the power whilst some neighbouring countries have a 85 percent connection rate?” Do you mean Government doesn’t know why Malawi is having the blackouts? Eeeeeeeeeeeshiiiiiiiii…….!! Mukanangokhala bambo… Read more »

So your comments Mr. MSAKA are unacceptable too, your government is evil driven by the devil, guieded by the devil and loved by evil people. Schools are daily closed, teachers daily wailing, civil servants completely overshadowed by your evil minds. Talking of water and electricity, DPP ilibe nzeru, a bunch of misplacing priorities. Alot of water in Lake Malawi but you talk nonsense because the devil is using you. Cry for my beloved Malawi, its people cannot see and respond accordingly, Malawi is not poor but DPP minds are poor. Your time is coming soon when truth shall rise against… Read more »
