Chinese contractor abandons Mombera University project
A Chinese contractor has abandoned the construction of Mombera University in Mzimba due to government failure to pay him.
Mombera University is the signature project of President Peter Mutharika and his Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) in the north.
Officials fromn Anhui Foreign Economic Construction company said the government has not been honouring payment of advance working capital.
They however could not say how much the government owes them.
Ministry of Education spokesperson Lindiwe Chide has confirmed the development, saying talks are in progress with Treasury to release the money so that the contractor returns to the site.
The contractor has been working on a road network for the campus.
Mutharika officially unveiled the plague in 2015.

Yet year in year out for the past 5 years resources of not less than Mk 5 Billion were being allocated to this project annually in the national budget totalling to around 25 MK Billion during the stated period.Ironically nothing tangible to show off apart from the ring road around the so called Mombera University Campus.What a sick nation we are.May be the structures are hidden by Perekezi forest reserve.
It does not take a rocket scientist to draw parallels with the promised BB and Wanderers Stadiums. We may end up with two foundation stones for stadiums. Here is a government failing to maintain Bingu International Stadium but thinks it has adequate resources to waste on private entities.
Malawi is a funny country. I would be sending a proposal to government to build for me a house and buy me 4matic. APM has set a very good precedent. All private schools, don’t wait, send your proposals before APM leaves office.
dont waste time . if you construct they will demolish as they have been doing with government structures in the north and centre

A region of a population of 1million having two university ,this is very unfair. why can’t they build that university in NENO district a district where there is nothing for government.
People like you lick too much APM’s nsete.
To: Mtumbuka. We asked your Peter Hitler Mutharika to let us go and be an independent republic of Nyika, and he is refusing. Why can’t let us go so that we can built many schools and universities for our children. You have imposed quota system and other oppressive laws on us. We don’t care about your South and Centre—-leave the North alone. You have depleted our resources to develop your regions and when you build one university to the North you start to cry. Tell Peter Hitler Mutharika to build the University in your area, and we at the North… Read more »
..Pali cholira apa?! this is normal it can happen anywhere it’s not about Southern region as narrow minded disgruntled senseless loosing unashamed immature supporters of loosing parties are saying. But theres no doubt the pain of loosing can bring rabies to loosers featuring madness. Loosing for 25 years munthu ungathamangedi misala..nanga in 25 years osayiwelenga kuti wakwera yophwa ma tyres si ukape umenewo. Shame! DPP is a national party aphwanga.

The issue here is not about losing or winning. You must be possed with evil spirits. That’s why you don’t see anything wrong for your dpp to give empty promises to people of the northern region.
so the college is for people of northern region?not Malawians? U see how stupid u people R?
just as well the company wants to be paid before starting construction? Chinese are not trusted they will be running for their country with the money
