Diesel generated power costs way way out of this world. Malawi’s forex position is precarious. Additional diesel imports for power generation will not only add pressure on our forex but also our fuel reserves which we have been told are only for 10-days. Besides, power from diesel plants costs twice/thrice the conventionally generated power. This is just politics and convinient statement our country is not in a position to fund this kind of power venture

If there was elections to day could u Malawians vote for DDP/APM? Which party Would u vote to save Malawi and Malawians? Have u not seen enough of DDP? Do u want suffering, corruption continue? Same shit people. Please A Malawi zukani. 2019 is your last chance
To say enough is enough. NO old gurus from these parties UDF, DDP, PP. NO ONE should join the new party. God help Malawi and Malawi. Come back Kamuzu and see what is happening.

Charles when u imported machona from USA did expect better life?U see anyone from that country has NO mind of what is a need for poor African like Malawi. Peter knows the reason for blackouts. Donors has not released money which was meant for electrucity because APM refuses to give the names of those guru friends to ACB. He is afraid of them. They will mention him . If he was a good leader he could released the names. Germany knows Who They are. The problem why Europe dont give names of African leaders Who has stolen money from their… Read more »

How is Government planning to finance and recover the cost of Diesel Generators? In 2014 ESCOM’s turn over was about 40 billion Kwacha. Diesel generated power is prohibitive expensive. Adding 25 MW diesel power to the grid, around the clock, will cost about the same amount or 40 billion Kwacha. It would require doubling the tariff to cover the cost, and that for 25 MW only? Yet most people have already installed generators at a huge cost to the country. Why is Government not asking all these companies with big generator sets to use them around the clock and connect… Read more »

How is Government or ESCOM going to recover the cost of diesel generated power? ESCOM’s turn over is about 40 billion Kwacha. (2014) Adding some 25 MW diesel power around the clock will about double the cost or another 40 billion. Is Government going to double the tariff to finance this?

What else do you expect mtchona uyu and his band of bandits to articulate? The problem with accidental leadership is lack of conviction and vision. This man is out of his depth and if I were him, I would put transition arrangements in place and give a timetable to step aside. You were hired by the people to move the country forward, but alas, Malawi is on its knees at your watch. Our country is sinking fast. Corruption is at such alarming levels that public services are so rigged with corrupt officials that nothing moves without bribes. Poverty among the… Read more »
