The bill indeed sounds good since it might induce competition n result in increasing power; how ever leaving entire generation of power in the hands of private sector is fatal strategy in terms of safeguarding consumer prices….I think it will be proper for Escom or similar newly established state company to continue generating power n compete with those new entrants….additionally price regulations n anti colluding legislations will be necessary, although its effectiveness depends on enforcement
Malawi is poor yes but need not to be guided by the donors, let the little energy we have develop itself by increasing step by step depending to our present economy. The examples we always get that China was once like Malawi but now is the second world largest economy but it was not dictated on what to do by the so called donors.

The can not reconnect in time or fix faults and put new meters but the workers expect a big salary and bonus at the end of the year. For what? They have a foolish sense of entitlments, I wish they could actually private ESCOM, let a results oriented CEO not second rate engineers from poly manage that institution. Workers should be given clear targets to meet per months. .i.e. new connections or meters to instal. If they… Read more »
