Look at the quality of work. A well constructed road is supposed to more than 10 years before u thnk of maintanance. Our roads have a life span of two to five years. But if u look @ the money they charge govt.are paid it’s too much. Is that not overpricing? Engineers are part of the problem. Their estimates are unrealistic most… Read more »

there seems to be some sense in this story we have here. However, it also shows that as a journalist you did not do a proper research. There are a few flaws I would like you to clarify to us: what do you think qualifies a contractor to be awarded a contract? Have you ever tried to do pricing for a certain advertised tender?, If you have done this before, what factors were you considering to come up with the prices for your tender?, What do you mean when you say overpricing and what are you basing your argument at?,… Read more »

Bingu took a lot of credit for Chitipa-Karonga road. His surviving henchmen should explain why the road looks like this just a few years after.

They make a living by potholes.If potholes doesn’t develop on roads then they won’t have bread and butter on their table..Mediocrity is everywhere in Malawi.Malawians are not patriots and do not love their country instead they love easy money.Dusty roads are all over Malawi.Our cities do not even befit the modern city standard.The roads are so tiny.We have unnecessary congestions like we own the largest number of cars in the world.Shame for Malawi.

We pay over the top for poorly tarring eaxh kilometer of road. The difference goes to the kabal which award the contracts and authorise payments.

Don’t think these guys are Fools. They have vision. They know that a few years down the line these roads will need to be repaired every few months, patch upon patch upon patch.

A steady flow of income is thus guaranteed.

That’s why we allow truckers to establish their bases in residential areas. Thirty tonne monsters accelerate the deterioration of roads that are meant for light vehicles.

Add a guarantee clause in the contracts. If the condition of the road changes over a given ‘timeframe’, the contractor shall be responsible for fixing it.
