Malawi Vice President Dr Saulos Klaus Chilima on Wednesday responded to the floods that wreaked havoc in Karonga this week...
Dear Countrymen, That this is an important project there is no question in my mind. Those who may remember will recall that in or around May 2016 I wrote in The Nation Newspaper (My Turn column) that Malawi needs to find ways of using the Lake Malawi water reservoir to the maximum benefit of the population. Pumping water from Lake Malawi to Namwera Hills of Mangochi and use it for winter-cropping was one of my suggestions at that time. But, little did I know that some people, in the DPP, were already toying with the brilliant idea of pumping the… Read more »
I agree with the discussion but Malawian must know that whatever plans this country must take into account long term needs of this country. For example, the population of Malawi will be around 40-50milion in 20-30yrs time. This means whatever plans we have should take into consideration of the population projection. This also applies to all infrastructure like primary schools, colleges, food production etc. So government must make sure that it has long term strategic plans that will address the needs of this country. To tapping water from small sources like small dams in view of the projected population would… Read more »

Abale 400 billion kwacha ya chani on Lake Malawi–Lilongwe water project? If Mulanje water project calls 18billion kwacha LL project should cost around 40 billion kwacha or double as much taking into account the magnitude of the project and its demand for complex feasibility studies in all affected project operation sectors and the uphilL task of lifting water up over 120ft above sea level to LL. what is trying to mature here is Zambia scenario where corrupt people in Muthalika administration manuevered on MW/Zambia maize deal scandal.Unfortunately the majority of those in authority are adicted to corruption,fraud and bribery with… Read more »
This project is supposed to cost not more than 40 billion if we are to go by Blantyre Water board figures. Zinazo ndi zamthumba la oyan’ganira ntchitoyo. The difference is just too much.
You laugh your lungs out when you read some of the comments. Please let us consult widely before publishing information which may be challenged. Blantyre Water Board lifts water from Shire, quite a gradient, and uses about 20 MW or less. Where, then does the 68 to 20 MW come in the case of the Salina Water supply project. Some elaboration would help. My view is that this is the time to plan for adequate water supply for our ever growing Capital City. With regard to power supply for the project, it would be wrong to assume ESCOM/EGENCO wil forever… Read more »
Congratulations Dr. Gondwe. This is the way it should be: listen to the peoples’ voices
Project on Lake Malawi should be halted until feasibility studies in all sectors of the project is done by independent consultant.Plse Extract sense in what Kenneth Wiyo of Luanar has said.Brilliant ideas from top class people willing to help stear the country on good cause for development.Trapence of CEDEP came up with very good advice to Govt too.Minister of Finance should be applauded for his node to review implementation of the project.Now who is this one in Gvt or DPP trying to rush an immence and co
dig deeper to the Lilingwe Board’s CEO. Isnt he the one who stole a deep freezer at the Malawi Poytechnic when he was the President of the student’s union? and come 20years later some foolish poeple decided to entrust the ‘thief’ with heading Lilngwe water board?
Lilongwe residents you will pay the price of poor choice of CEO’s by the current DPP administration
Some of these contributions,are just good for academic debates. Taliuzani dziko lasting solution to water shortage. lf you don’t have any, be quiet chifukwa tikhoza kuona kuti inu ndi amene mukupha amalawi
