If government was responsible there would be no need to sell ourselves once again to the Chinese… Chamba basi. Ife tidzalipira mpakana liti

Looking forward to seeing beautiful infrustractures of Blantyre District hospital and the Chileka International Airport. Those that implement projects are biased sometimes. Because they don’t come from the region where the project is taking place, they deliberately leave out other parts appearing on the plan. I’m only thinking aloud.

Nobody is questioning the necessity of the Chinese loans or grants, mr Chilima. It is the distribution of projects, transparency and use of these funds that are being questioned. Dpp are too greedy taking all these funds to the south.

Wow, now we are talking DEVELOPMENT. Where have you all been? 300 MW additional power and from an alternative power source, this is music to my ears. That you are borrowing offshore thank you as you will not crowd us out. At least there is a chance of taming this wild inflation and interest fire. But please can I urge us as a nation to be extremely serious. If we want tourism to be a major forex earner and we are upgrading our airport, let us get back to basics: 1.

I think Mr. Edward Chilima, you are missing the point altogether. Reading through all comments and input from the citizenry when this news of Chinese loans surfaced, no one is saying or against the borrowing itself, people want to know what are the terms of this loan as ita the citizenry that will contribute through tax to pay back those loans. And it is a democratic right for the citizens to know the terms of the loans. The second issue is the allocation of the projects in terms of sharing this national buffet of projects.

Chilima-You may not understand what strings and the Chinese aid comes with and the level of indebtedness the country is being saddled with.If only government were serious, they could finance these projects without borrowing.This is going to leave the country with high debt to GDP ratio and I am wondering why you cannot see that!Read Proverbs 22:7

May the president not priorities the issue of ID & tackle with health first. Otherwise the other projects are important as well. Well done APM
