Mutharika puts Malawi power deals under wraps

History repeating itself here. When bakili saw that some companies were a thorn in his flesh he privatised them but at the end it ended to be a very grave mistake. We are not in Israel where water has to be fetched from distance places and be refined for it to be used in agri or for use in homes. What lacks in malawi is patriotism and a heart that loves this country. Electricity is the only way to ensure that we have a stable economy. We need companies to invest in this country but without electricity even a malawian… Read more »

Eee koma mwakwiya a malawi

The biggest problem in Malawi is that we put dull people in strategic jobs like in ESCOM simply on reason that they are our tribesmen. The consequences of such myopic decisions are so evident today. Nothing is working in the public sector today resulting in vices like casgate.

Jelbin MK , I feel pity for you. My friend, I have travelled i n Europe and America, In South Africa , I just connect sometimes at Oliver Tambo. Check with people who have travelled widely. For example ask people who are in UK or America , number of energy companies? You have not travelled my dear , you are still in Africa.

There were no blackouts during Kamuzu!

Tathatu A Malawi, watigulitsa mchonayu. Mai kalanga ine, Oh we are finished, finished ndithu

Achingolopiyo mwayenda kuti? Bodza ilo mukunena kuyenda kwake kupit kutyolo ndi kumulanje.

Like his late bro Bingu! He will steal even more than his late brother did. Stupid Malawians who voted this poor man to power to continue stealing where his late brother left. God plz punish Malawian Leadership!!!

A gouvernment of try and error.
A gouvernment without vision.
Anangokopera manifesto ya PP lero akulephera kuyichita implement.
Ena akuti tiyipatse ma plan DPP yo, eee? Zoona?
Mayesa kuli ma professors menemo, ma dokotala menemo. Ndipo anasankhidwa ndi iwowo. Ife tiwagwilire ntchito olandira azikhala iwowo?
Mwalephera, STEP DOWN

Good comment no23 though Escom did not start with Kamuzu, it started with Colonial masters, it used to be Nyasaland Power Supply Company before it changed to Nyasaland Electricity Supply Commission. We had electricity in our house before Kamuzu came back, my father was a Warrant Officer Class One in the Kings African Rifles!
